***HDP/WPC Stage to Bring a Sonic Oblivion to Desertfest 2016***



It's with immense pleasure that we share the lineup for our stage at this years DesertFest London.. darker, heavier, bleaker and more crushing than ever… We're beyond chuffed to be welcoming to the UK from NYC, for their first return in 7 years, the mighty tri-headed blackened doom beast Unearthly Trance. They play the Underworld on Saturday 30th April alongside alongside Seatle’s epic wild doom merchants Samothrace, French heavy drone pioneers Monarch!, Belfast based monolithic doom outfit Slomatics, Finnish experimental sludge masters Fleshpress official, the first UK appearance of Scandi crusted-doom veterans Counterblast, and England’s own acid-sludge boys BongCauldron. It should be a hallucinatingly heavy melee of righteous dark doom to behold!

Many thanks to the talented Dominic Sohor Design for the killer poster.

The close of April is going to be a dark and heavy time! We can't wait!
