Dragged into Sunlight, if you aren’t familiar, are absolutely filthy. This is music of nightmares, and is like the aural equivalent of tetanus. I’m excited to see them perform at Maryland Deathfest this year — not because I’m a huge fan in particular, but mostly because their live shows are supposedly fairly intense. There are YouTube videos of them performing on a dark stage and facing away from the crowd for most of the show before turning around for a ferocious finale. Who knows if it’ll end up working out as such at a festival venue, but I’m excited either way.

After their appearance at Maryland Deathfest, they’ll be hitting up the US with Cough (also appearing at MDF) and Wolvhammer supporting on select dates, below. Make it out if you can!
