SMYRNA DEATHFEST back in Willemeen with a sick line up:

STILLBIRTH

Are you ready for the total destruction? Stillbirth is coming like a Tsunami and will smash your ears after a few seconds. Nasty Blastbeats, heavy grooves and sick slams combined with the stageenergy of 10 raging Bulls. Get your beachshorts on because it’s surftime. With a blunt in one Hand navigating through the storm.

Stillbirth from Hagen / Germany was founded in 1999 by former Guitarist (now Vocals) Lukas Swiaczny and plays a mix of Death Metal, Grindcore and Deathcore. Or like we call it „Brutal Surf Death Metal“. Stillbirth is also famous for playing live with their own branded swim shorts.

SOULBURN

Originally SOULBURN emerged after a first demise of Dutch death metal legend Asphyx in the mid 90’s, when founding members Eric Daniels (guitars) and Bob Bagchus (drums) looked for a seperate outlet to unleash their mutual obsession with Bathory and Venom. After a demo and the cult “Feeding On Angels” debut album via Century Media Records in 1998, which featured Wannes Gubbels (Pentacle) on vocals/bass, SOULBURN were put to rest when Asphyx returned with “On The Wings Of Inferno” (2000) with the same line-up. SOULBURN was dead, buried, but not forgotten...

DEVOURED ELYSIUM

Devoured Elysium is a Sci-Fi Slam Metal band renowned for their aggressive sound and thematic depth, drawing inspiration from alien invasions and futuristic dystopias. Emerging from the vibrant metal scene, the band made a significant impact with their debut album, Extermination Policies, released in 2020 under Coyote Records.

TEETHGRINDER

An uncompromising manifestation of ferocity and utter discontent is probably the best way to describe the dismally melancholic sound of Teethgrinder. Hailing from the Netherlands, these grinders strive for an authentic yet progressive sound, spawned by a fusion of several genres, namely; grindcore, black metal, crust and sludge. Teethgrinder honours their roots and simultaneously attempts to broaden the spectrum of grindcore itself, resulting in an unsettling maelstrom of grinding ferocity.

THE LUCIFER PRICIPLE

This grooving monstrous death metal machine brings something new to the table, The Lucifer Principle delivers old school death metal with a new school sound. The ultra heavy grooves are underlined by a pumping bass and stomping guitar riffs.

DEATHMARCH

Formed in 2016 by Quint (guitar, ex-Bloodphemy/ex-Bodyfarm) and Olle (drums, ex-Funeral Whore/Cavitation), DEATHMARCH set out to deliver crude and crushing old school deathmetal
