The Pacific Northwest sure loves its metal and fans in the greater Seattle area should be super stoked for the initial band lineup announcement made earlier today by the folks behind Northwest Terror Fest. Not only do we know that the festival will be held at Neumos and Barboza in the Emerald City, but we know it’s taking place on May 8 to May 10 and that the artist list is fucking killer.
Though we know at least a dozen additional bands will be announced at a later date, organizers posted a badass YouTube video highlighting the initial lineup, which is as follows:
Agalloch
Brainoil
Coke Bust
Crossspitter
Dark Meditation
Deceased
Dreadnought
Glacial Tomb
Gorguts
Demolition Hammer
Hirax
John Haughm (solo performance)
The Keening
Many Blessings
Persekutor
Sonja
Terrorizer L.A. (performing “World Downfall“)
Vermin Womb
Vicious Blade
Weald & Woe
Witching
Xoth
If that lineup doesn’t excite you, then you might need to spend some more time listening to these bands because they’re going to tear up Cascadia this coming spring.
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow at 9 a.m. PST.
