Angist Play Desertfest 2013
Though young as a band, Angist have been proving they are a titanic force to be reckoned with ever since their inception in 2009. Now, they are prepared to hit Desertfest via Seven Churches at the Black Heart on Saturday 27th April. All this with an impact stronger than any volcano eruption which their native Iceland is famous for.
With a fiercely old-school approach to their anguished, dissonant and insanely raging death metal anthems, they combine the all the best things the genre has to offer in one tight and furious package. With only a 5-song EP to their name so far, the four-piece led by the talented axe-slinging duo of Gyða Hrund Þorvaldsdóttir and Edda Tegeder Óskarsdóttir, with the latter also providing some of the most chillingly blood-curdling roars you’ll ever hear (the rumbling rhythm section of Haraldur Ingi Shoshan and Ophidian I’s drummer Tumi Snær Gíslason complete the line-up), is expected to lay down a motherload of a debut full-length at some point later this year… but not without first making themselves very well known to the Desertfest crowd by delivering a kick in the guts through massive cuts like ‘Godless’ or ‘Silence’. Be prepared.
Desertfest 2013 takes place between 26th – 28th April 2013 over 4 venues in Camden, London and tickets are available at Leedstickets.com.
