The first Kill-Town Death Fest was held in 2010 so this years edition is billed as "10 Years of Death". Due to 2015-2018 hiatus it's actually fest number eight, but hey, ten years is ten years. All 36 bands of the lineup has been announced and here's a Bandcamp playlist of nearly all of them in announcement order, some with a quote from the announcement telling why the band is extra special. Even if you won't be visiting Kill-Town this year there should be something to enjoy for any lover of Death Metal.
Like the last years the fest takes place in Pumpehuset in Copenhagen, a venue with small and a larger stage. Expect the small stage to become super crowded for some of the sets.
This post will be continually updated with with the latest Bandcamp releases from all the bands involved, and when is the schedule is announced the bands will be sorted according to their set times.
