Festival of the sickest bands, playing the sickest sounds, all while the world sits in fear the next potential war, great flood, eruption, pandemic, etc. (It's gotta be platypus-pox surely? Platy-pox).

Enjoy it while you can. If you want soaring singers, we got you. If you want Sumo wrestler heavy, we got you.

For fans of ''brutal screams, heavy guitar melodies, and a bit of singing is cool too''

As a teenager, I, like so many of us, struggled with my emotions, not knowing how to express or control them. Luckily I found solace in music: listening, collecting, playing, performing and watching. Sometimes I look back and think that without finding music, my teenage years could have played out very differently. Music, and especially bands, gave me an emotional grounding that I wouldn’t have otherwise found. When I couldn’t articulate myself mentally or verbally I could always find resonance through songs. This gave me a level of serenity and peace that prevented my thoughts spiraling in such a manner that would or could have lead me to darker places.
