How time flies when you're dead. The last of the legendary Kill-Town Death Fests was The Funeral Edition in 2014. But it seems you can't keep a good corpse in the ground and September 6-9 it's time for Kill-Town Death Fest 2018 - The Resurrection! 23 (of 35) bands have been announced so far, and the lineup is to die for. Below I have listed all the bands in announcement order, some with a little note telling you why their set is dead special. I will add more bands as they are announced.
A warning. There are 600 tickets for sale. On January 26 when band number 17, Necrowretch, was announced, the organizers stated that there were only 200 tickets left. So don't sleep on this, or you just might die from missing out. You can find information about ticket sales and other practical info right here. I can add that since the venue has changed smoking is no longer allowed at the concerts (though they're are smoking rooms indoors). And that's one thing I'm not gonna miss from the old fests. Anyway, enough of me talking. Have some Death Metal and see you in September?
