LIVE REVIEW: Incineration Festival with Taake, Malignancy and more

Incineration Festival 2014 gig listings

Incineration Festival: it does exactly what it says on the tin. Inside the sauna-like confines of the Highbury Garage, fifteen bands from six countries play two stages; melting more faces than the Ark of The Covenant.
