The last EVER Killtown Festival takes place in Copenhagen in 3 weeks time on 5th-7th September with a warm up show on the 4th September, and just LOOK AT THAT LINE UP!! 

Metalgigs is not affiliated with Killtown in anyway, but having been before I can say it was one of the best metal events i've ever been to. I would hate for people to miss out on going when this year's edition is the last one that will ever take place. The festival is so good: a small venue, great sound, no backstage, cheap beer, cheap food, free film showings, (lots) of record stalls and bands manning their own merch, and i'll say it again LOOK AT THAT LINE UP...

In case you missed the internet meltdown on Friday, Temples Festival have announced the first set of bands for the 2015 edition taking place at Motion in Bristol on 29th -31st May 2015.  The first headliner was announced - Masschusetts' Converge will finish of the proceedings on the first (Friday) night.  Also announced were Portal making their first ever trip into the UK, along with Goatsnake, Pig Destroyer, Bolzer, Celeste and...

Damnation Festival have today confirmed 5 more additions to their tenth anniversary festival line up.  As if Bolt Thrower wasn't really enough to buy a ticket (and Saint Vitus playing Born too late!) the festival have today announced German doom masters Ahab and anyone who saw their headlining set at Doom over London III in 2012 will attest they CRUSH live!  Also added today are Iceland's finest Solstafir who will be making their UK festival debut, their new album Otta is due out in...

Berlin's Necros Christos head to London for an exclusive UK date this Saturday June 14th 2014 at The Dome in Tufnell Park (Tickets available here).  Rumours are currently abound that Necros Christos are breaking up after the release of their next album "Domedon Doxomedon"  so there is a very good chance this will be their last ever UK date as these guys don't mess around.  Having witnessed them myself at Killtown Festival in 2012 I can verify they slay on all levels live and this is going to be a gig you will...

Chatting to a friend today and I was surprised he wasn't familiar with the support bands on the incoming Death/Black metal assault that is about to hit the capital this Saturday as it's probably the strongest full line up of any gig this year.  I thought to myself if he isn't familiar with the supports, then how many others are not familiar with them?  So without further ado here's some info and music from all the bands playing this KILLER show hitting London this Saturday. See you in the pit \m/

First band up is Zom.  Formed in Ireland in...
