Cannibal Corpse, Sadus, Incantation To Headline Seattle's Northwest Death Fest By Sefany Jones, Contributing Editor Wednesday, February 16, 2005 @ 10:27 AM
CANNIBAL CORPSE, SADUS, AND INCANTATION ANNOUNCED AS HEADLINERS FOR NORTHWEST DEATH FEST 2005
SEATTLE - The second annual Northwest Death Fest will be held at the Fenix Underground in Seattle on April 3, featuring one-off performances by Cannibal Corpse, Sadus, and Incantation.
The all-day event will also feature 24 underground metal acts performing on two stages.
I hand-picked 24 of the best unsigned metal bands from the Pacific Northwest, said promoter Frank Hetzel. Theres a thriving scene in this area! The fans and bands are very supportive of my shows. You can expect a great bill of brutal bands.
Cannibal Corpse, Sadus and Incantation have been making extreme music for over 15 years. Cannibal Corpse released their ninth studio recording, The Wretched Spawn, in February 2004. Incantation, from the East Coast, released an album last year, as well, and recently returned from a European tour of 12 countries.
Sadus were part of the San Francisco thrash metal movement in the mid 80s and were together until 1997. The band reunited in 2002 and is currently working on new material for their first album since 1997.
Im a big fan of Cannibal Corpse and have seen them many times, Hetzel said. I chose them because they always give a 110 percent performance. Cannibal Corpse is about as extreme as they come. I chose Sadus for the festival because they have never played in the Northwest area. Incantation is another one of my favorites. Their reputation as one of the heaviest death metal bands is known worldwide and will definitely get the crowd stirred up.
Howitzer Productions began in 2002 and has promoted over 75 shows, as well as four festivals in the Washington area. Hetzel is a musician himself and realizes the difficulties that bands face trying to get a fair deal from club owners and booking agents.
Its really important to me that the bands and the fans leave my shows satisfied, Hetzel said. My experience on the other side of the fence as both a member of a band and a concert-goer helps me put together quality shows.
