The biggest metal event in the UK, Mammothfest, has once again gathered some of the best and hardest-hitting performers in the business. Bleed From Within, Decapitated, Eleine, Ingested, Cytotoxin, HERIOT, Harbinger, Rectal Smegma, Unfathomable Ruination, and ANTE-INFERNO were among the year's best performers.
Each performer wowed the crowd with their unbridled energy and prowess during their thrilling set. The crowd was headbanging and mosh-ing in tandem to Bleed From Within's aggressive, lyrical metalcore. Decapitated's technical death metal's intricate riffs and powerful drumming left listeners' mouths on the floor.
While Ingested's ferocious death metal whipped up the crowd, Eleine's symphonic metal was nothing short of ethereal. The audience was mesmerized by Cytotoxin's distinctive fusion of technical and atmospheric death metal, and HERIOT's chaotic grindcore pushed the boundaries of violence.
Despite having very distinct musical styles, Rectal Smegma's goregrind and Harbinger's current metalcore both enthused the audience. ANTE-INFERNO's black metal was hauntingly beautiful, while Unfathomable Ruination's savage death metal was a force to be reckoned with.
Overall, Mammothfest's performances were out of this world, showing the immense ability and variety of the metal genre. Metal lovers still have to attend the festival, and we're excited to see what the lineup for the following year will offer.
