Origin to play UK Deathfest

Kansas death metallers ORIGIN will invade British shores bringing their technical brutality to UK DEATHFEST.

They will be joined by legendary Brummies BENEDICTION and UK rising death/grind talent INFECTED DISARRAY in wreaking havoc on Leeds in May.

The trio join a bill of uncompromising extreme noise at Leeds University Union on Sunday May 3rd for the 16-band, two-stage event which is being organised by the team behind Damnation Festival.

Previously confirmed bands are: AKERCOCKE, DESECRATION, THE ROTTED, DAM, INGESTED and RETH.

The Rotted frontman Ben McCrow said: "Having played on the bill of the first Damnation Festival, I'm proper looking forward to being a part of the first of what I hope will be many Deathfests!

"Respect to Damnation for putting so much weight behind extreme music in the UK!

"This is gonna be a killer day!"
