After all the madness that is the festive season it seems that Americans will have a lot to look forward to in the new year. Having wowed the world over in 2014 all four of these bands released brilliant records, three of with ended on our Album Of The Year list. A line up like this really does not come round often, with each band offering something different yet at the same time something very similar. Perhaps the tying fact might be that all the bands on the bill are visionary writers.
With Revocation rewriting their own brand of death metal seemingly almost every year, not to mention being the most active touring band on the planet. On a side note, I wonder, why is it always that Revocation seem to be a support band… Then with headliners The Contortionist writing one of the best progressive metal albums of the year along with completely rewriting the book on themselves and thirdly you have Fallujah. Releasing The Flesh Prevails earlier this year the band melded a mix that simply should not be, a post rock shoegaze with some seriously devastating death metal, to create one of the most inspired albums in modern metal.
To say this would not be one to miss would be an understatement. Check the poster and dates below!
