Well, it's been all go these past few weeks and I haven't been able to stop to say how awesome Eradication Festival was! Sandwiched in the middle of a bunch of Norwegian and British Black Metal bands we were admittedly a little apprehensive how this might play out, but pleasantly surprised to see that Black Metallers are not as closed minded as some people would have you believe! Thrash and Black Metal share a lot of the same root, and all the bands on the bill that day deserve a good shout for making it a great day: Nonserviam, Wolfbastard, Reign of Erebus, Necronautical, Heathen Deity, The Infernal Sea, Ethereal and Nordjevel. Shame to have missed our friends Bull-Riff Stampede, KEMAKIL and OMV - Hardcore Street Metal, but would have loved to have seen all the other bands on the other 3 days - check them out: Blood Red Throne - Official, ANALEPSY, Department of Correction, Sworn Amongst, CREPITATION, Wretched Soul, Solothus, The Monolith Deathcult, Organ Dealer, Animator, Cockoroch, Forgotten Remains, Laceration, Sublime Eyes, Absolution, CHAINSAW CASTRATION, Live Burial, Anoxide [official], Blasphemer, Austerymn, and Gorehead. This was definitely a great weekend for Extreme Metal. Well done Gavin for putting it all together - may there be plenty more! \\m/ ... See more
