More than the sum of their parts and rebirthed through perseverance, grit and cosmic horror, Kent’s Technical Death Metal juggernaut INFECTED DEAD marks their arrival into 2026 as a newly fine-tuned and reincarnated beast.

Originally formed in 2016, they quickly found their feet, hitting stages nationwide, performing at Bloodstock Festival and releasing their debut EP through Hostile Records before the end of 2017.

They re-emerged in 2024, with a razor sharp new line-up, featuring alumni from the likes of Pupil Slicer, Dawnwalker and Overthrow and entering the studio to record their most devastating and widely ambitious material to date, enlisting V.Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress and Obscura) for it's production.

They have completed multiple tours of the UK, building an increasingly strong following around the country and sharing the stage with notable acts such as Ingested, Vader, Immolation, Pestilence & Virvum

Long time fans of the band and the tech death genre will no doubt see and hear a reverence to genre titans such as Obscura, Job For A Cowboy and The Zenith Passage, however, with two years of levelling stages across the land INFECTED DEAD’s excoriating approach to a tried and tested craft is entirely their own.

The lads at Acid Vat like to keep it simple, they're all about making straight up old school death metal! There a four piece band emerging from the swamps of Stockport that aim to create the raw brutality of the classic death metal bands we all love to listen to! They plunged into the scene in 2024 playing shows around the Manchester area and received a great response, pulling great crowds and even selling out merch! They even managed to get a gig with Grind legends "Terrorizer" and secured a deal with Iron Fortress Records to release their "Dead flesh architect" E.P! Now in 2025 they set their sights further as they head out on a 5 day tour in the UK to showcase their unique brand of brutality!
