Rising brutal death metal and goregrind festival Offal Fest is returning for its third year for three days of all things brutal, death, gore and slam metal.
Taking place at Rebellionin Manchester, UK on 25th – 27th July 2025, the event will see the addition of Sunday, making it a three day festival with a pre-show held at the same venue on the Friday.
Headlining the Saturday will be New York brutal death metal legends Skinless, who will exclusively perform their 1998 debut Progression Towards Evil in its entirety.
Also hailing from New York, slam and brutal death metal pioneers Internal Bleeding will headline the Sunday. The band is often cited as one of the first bands to play slam death metal; an offshoot of death metal known for its focus on slow, chromatic breakdown riffs, known as slams.
The rest of the line-up announced so far includes: 55Gore with an international debut, Cerebral Effusion, Imperious Mortality, Basement Torture Killings, Thy Flesh Consumed, Expectorating Sputum, Vulgar Dissection, Desecrated Extinction, and Dawn Of Animosity.
Further information on day splits and more bands are expected to be announced soon.
Early bird tickets sold out almost instantaneously during this year’s edition of the festival. Standard weekend, day and 3-day tickets are available via SeeTickets.
Rancid Offal Promotions, the organisers behind events such as Goremageddon and Offal Fest, said: “We’re insanely blessed to have the opportunity to contribute towards reviving the extreme metal music scene here in Manchester, after covid there was a huge hole left and we’re honoured to be able to work with amazing bands and can’t thank every single person enough that has bought a ticket for helping us to make our dreams a reality!”
Skinless added: “We are beyond excited to return to the UK with our friends in Internal Bleeding and playing Progression Towards Evil in its entirety for the first time ever!!”
