SWR FEAST 29-30 April 2022 -|- BARROSELAS, PORTUGAL

 

On 25 April 1998, the Steel Warriors' Rebellion saga began in the north of Portugal, in the very peaceful village of Barroselas. A festival that grew from the underground, based on the do-it-yourself concept and eager to make a difference, whether in the care for artistic content and visual aesthetics, the desire to maintain a familiar atmosphere and the will to do something special and peculiar.

The band plays a primitive Death Thrash influenced mainly by bands like Morbid Angel, Death, Possessed, Sadistic Intent, Necrovore or Incubus. They have released a demo the same year of their creation and their debut album will be released in November 2021 by the Voz Sepulcral label with the title of ''Sumerian Promises''.

 Autopsy were founded in the late '80s by Eric Cutler and Chris Reifert, the latter of whom had just parted ways with pioneering Florida death metallers Death. Employing a caustic blend of thrash, doom, and death, the band released a string of influential albums like Severed Survival (1991) and Mental Funeral (1991) before shutting down operations in 1995. The group reconvened in 2010.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 Formed in Växjö in 1992, Birdflesh is one of the craziest grindcore acts around. Their take on grindcore is filled with strong thrashy influences, wacky lyrics, humorous music and a funny atmosphere overall.

The band usually performs live with props and costumes.

As they gained the status of “cult band” in the grincore scene, the live activity took the band on the greatest stages for extreme metal, such as Obscene Extreme Festival, Maryland Deathfest, Neurotic Deathfest and many more.
