Agalloch, Nevermore, Immolation and Solitude Aeturnus head the tenth Decibel Magazine Metal and Beer Fest in Philadelphia, which runs at the Fillmore on 10 April. Tickets go on sale on Friday 13 November at ten in the morning local time.
Two of those four spent a long time not being a going concern. Agalloch ended in 2016 and have only recently started playing again; Nevermore stopped in 2011 and the years since have been more about what the members did apart than together. Putting both on the same bill is the kind of thing an anniversary edition is for.
Immolation have never stopped, which makes them the straightforward booking of the four, and Solitude Aeturnus bring the Texan end of doom that most American festivals forget to ask for.
More names are still to come. The festival has run in Philadelphia for a decade and pairs each day's bill with a beer hall, which is where the name comes from and why the ticket is one thing rather than two.
