HDP / WPC Welcome COUGH to DesertFest

We're completely stoked to announce the return to London of Richmond, Virginia's purveyors of ultimate doom-filth, the mighty COUGH, for the HDP/WPC stage at DesertFest this year.

Cough smashed into worldwide acclaim within doom / sludge circles with the crushing 2008 début album Sigillum Luciferi, followed in 2010 with the fully engulfing psyche-sludge of Ritual Abuse (available on Relapse Records) and a split with the UK's own doom titans The Wounded Kings. Encompassing monolithically pounding, horror-raising, weed-tuned riffs and vocals stylings ranging from classic occult doom to downright demonic, blackened screams of desperation, the band have proven they are a force to be reckoned with both in this realm and beyond.



Following their H_D_P promoted London show at the Unicorn last year we can say that Cough will most definitely be a must for any devotees of the heaviest tone with their appearance at The Underworld at DesertFest 2013 !

WITCH MOUNTAIN for HDP / WPC DesertFest 2013 Stage

We're happy to announce the addition of WITCH MOUNTAIN (Portland, Oregon,USA) to the HDP / WPC Stage at DesertFest London on Sunday 28th April 2013.
With a trad-doom metal sound meeting powerfully heavy riffs, and layered with searing melodic vocals the bands latest offering Cauldron Of The Wild (out now on Profound Lore) has cemented them as one of the most anticipated acts to be seen live in Europe this year.. We're chuffed to welcome them to our stage at DesertFest 2013!


 
Official announcement:
"The time is upon us for the arrival on our shores of the magnificent Doom beasts that are 'Witch Mountain'. Hailing form Portland oregon, these masters of their art blend crushing sludge riffs with the female classic rock vocal stylings of Uta Plotkin. Its a match made in heaven and one that should not be missed as they have been very hard at work producing not 1 but 2 EPs last year that have been amazingly received and its their first visit to the UK so expect walls to shake and foundations to crumble at the h_d_p/WPC stage!"
