Coming in July is this year Extreme Metal all dayer, rightfully dubbed 'Almost Fatal Festival'. Showcasing some of the UK's best extreme metal talent. There's a rather righteous 15 bands on the bill for the day, and all just for £6 for those buying in advance. The Wheatsheaf Inn, situated in the small town of Barrow plays host to the proceedings.
The festival is hosted by none other than Mr. Matt Davidson of Repulsive Vision himself. Making a really solid line up from first hand experience of seeing the bands. Heres what he has to say about the line-up below!
Avenger
We are very proud to announce Geordie NWOBHM legends Avenger as our headliner for the evening. Formed in 82 by 3 members of cult metal band, Blitzkrieg, the band have dominated stages all across the globe over their 30 year career and are by no means ready to stop. With a brand new album on the horizon (entitled 'Mace Imperial') and a growing worldwide fanbase, you will not want to miss this incredible experience in Barrow.

Desecration
We are also pleased to announce the self proclaimed 'Death Metal Bastards', Desecration for the event. These Welsh purveyors of sickness and depravity have brought controversy and mayhem since the mid 90s when their debut album was seized and incinerated for obscenity. Since then, the band have continued to provide gore, gutturals and blastbeats all around the world with extensive tours and 6 (soon to be 7) intense slabs of recorded extremity on offer.

Primitive Graven Image
Furiously relentless black metal inspired (yet totally not confined) by the works of Darkthrone, Emperor and Immortal. PGI have slowly evolved their sound over the 8 years since their formation with 3 boundary-pushing opuses and countless live shows. Melodic, speedy, aggressive and otherworldly.

Foetal Juice
Fueled by necrophilia, gore and serial killers, this group of putrid Mancunian psychopaths are leaders in the UK death metal scene at the moment, with a hilariously dark sense of humour, brutal sound and a live show of unholy proportions.

Shades Of Avalon
Fusing the aggressive vocals of death metal with powerful grooves and a potent sense of melody, Northern barbarians Shades of Avalon are a band of battle metal brothers fighting for Viking war and copious amounts of ale.

Pist
Although formed mere months ago, Manchester's Pist have gone from strength to strength at breakneck speed. With a tour booked, their sublime debut EP 'Riffology' sold out within weeks and a prospective album coming soon, we should expect great things from these riffmeisters.
