Official press release:

Brace yourself, Austin! The city known for its vibrant music scene is about to get a new blitzkrieg of a bash. Announcing the first ever Austin Death Fest, a two-day death metal extravaganza set to reverberate through Austin on April 27th and 28th, 2024 at the Mohawk.

This festival promises a powerhouse lineup featuring some of the most promising bands in modern death metal, including headliners: Mortiferum, Outer Heaven, Tomb Mold, and Phobophilic. Full line-up will be announced soon!

Festival founder Jason Dahlike shared:

The goal with Austin Death Fest is to showcase the best contemporary bands in the genre on one of the coolest stages Austin has to offer. So many of the bands on the lineup are churning out some of the best records in modern death metal and grinding it out in clubs or DIY venues, playing for the die hard fans of the culture. Paying homage to previous Austin festivals such as Chaos in Tejas, I wanted to bring back a festival that got people excited for what's happening currently in the scene and hopefully inspire them to start up their own bands, start attending more local shows, and putting their passion into the scene to help it further grow.

Currently, weekend passes are on sale at Early Bird pricing. Tickets can be purchased here

All Early Bird passes cover the entire weekend - two days of solid death metal! Single day passes will be made available at a later date.

Austin Death Fest Line Up:

Mortiferum

"I love how phobophilic gets put as the opener when theyre the only band that isn't boring as f*ck on this line up." They aren't the opener, this is just the four headlining bands
