For an EXCLUSIVE Scottish appearance, Death Metal legends Carcass will obliterate Edinburgh's Corn Exchange with their vicious and brutal brand of extreme metal. With a new album on the way expect the biggest circle pits Edinburgh has ever seen!

Returning to Edinburgh for the first time in over seven years, for another Scottish EXCLUSIVE set, GAMA BOMB​ will blast through the venue with their relentless killer riffs like a high speed hurricane.

Brazilian thrashers Nervosa​ will deliver a venomous Scottish EXCLUSIVE set in support of their upcoming album. Their powerful, vicious live set will have you headbanging before your lunch has settled.

Local heavy weights Perpetua​ will punch you in the gut with their brutal, disgustingly heavy riffs and pounding vocals. We are proud to support the local scene and this band are certainly not one to miss.

Four bands. Four new albums. One monstrous festival
