Incineration Fest London 11/5/19 - Mayhem, Carpathian Forest, Batushka, Asphyx..

[The Ancient Ones]

Not seen this mentioned here yet. Bloody good lineup! One day this year, in Camden's Electric Ballroom, Underworld, and Black Heart. Max number of tickets is the Ballroom's capacity as far as I understand it - given that Mayhem sold that out by themselves last year I'd expect this to sell out. Tickets ~£54 incl fees.

Announced so far:

MAYHEM
CARPATHIAN FOREST
BATUSHKA
ASPHYX
WINTERYLLETH
VOICES
ABYSMAL TORMENT
UNHOLY LUST

Tasty lineup. Pondering...

Was at this at the weekend, great fest. Great having 3  venues with very different capacities all so close together, and every band I saw had good clear sound. Highlights for me were Benediction, Asphyx and Carpathian Forest.  Winterfylleth were pretty cool (didn't see any Sieg Heiling), Septic Flesh were a  nice surprise as I'm fairly unfamiliar with them. Shining sucks, all hype. Mayhem sucked also, again. Good times overall. Met Dayal Patterson (Cult Never Dies author )the merch stalls, sound lad.

[The Ancient Ones]

Hit this too. Agreed on the good sound although thought Mayhem's wasn't as good as the others. Saw Carpathian, Benediction, Atonement and Mayhem.  Voices and Winterfylleth were high on my list but didn't reckon on them being on so early when I booked flights.... Highlight definitely Benediction who absolutely rocked the Underworld and had a continuous pit throughout their set. Atonement was a surprise - knew nothing about them (him), literally just went to have a look at the venue to find a one man grind band on - he was ace! Mayhem good (although it was a shorter Demon Anthology set than they've played previously) but a lot of mongos in the crowd for them - had to fuck off to the back eventually with all the pushing.

I only watched Mayhem for about half hour before I got bored of the tuneless dissonance, third time seeing them and definitely my last. Voices were good but not really my thing. Benediction was outstanding, mental circle pit around the pillar in the Underworld. Was not expecting much from Carpathian Forest with all the shit I read about Nattefrost but it was good dumb fun, dedicating "He's turning blue" to Keith Flint and the new song song "Rocknroll gloryhole" was pretty funny.
