Steelfest manages to impress with their line-up and organization every single year, and this year is no different, even after some recent setbacks! We’re amazed with the line-up that celebrates everything that is underground and extreme yet again, and that’s only a part of the reasons why you should still try to make it to the fest this weekend!
VoidCeremony’s sophomore ‘Threads of Unknowing’ delivers a visceral piece of technical death metal showcasing the unrivaled mastery and jazzy approach for which the band became known. Suffice to say that this is one of the best albums in death metal this year. Out via 20 Buck Spin.
The tenth opus “Terrasite” in Cattle Decapitation’s catalog focuses on the slower melodic trademarks without sacrificing its sonic brutality. This is another high-quality output from these progressive death metal/grindcore maniacs, and I will not be surprised to see it on fans’ top albums of the year. Out via Metal Blade Records!

Australian death metal trio Werewolves unleash a scathing first track with ‘Under The Ground’, from their upcoming new album ‘My Enemies Look and Sound Like Me’, set for release via Prosthetic Records in August!
