Gorguts and Immolation are on the 2027 NorthWest Terror Fest, which runs from 6 to 8 May at Neumos and Barboza in Seattle.

They join Napalm Death, SubRosa and Deadguy at the top of a bill of around thirty bands, with Imperial Triumphant, Artificial Brain, Fulci, Coscradh and Suffering Hour among the rest.

Deadguy are the booking people will travel for. They will play Fixation On A Coworker, the 1995 record that half the metallic hardcore of the last thirty years is built out of, and which the band themselves barely toured at the time.

Two clubs on the same block, three days, thirty bands, and a line-up that runs from Canadian technical death metal to Irish black metal to Seattle doom. This is a festival that has never tried to be big and has instead become the one those bands want to play.

Ninth edition, and the full bill is out at once rather than in waves.
