@Doors open at 13:00
Junkyard - Schlägelstraße 57
44145 Dortmund, Germany
The Dortmund Deathfest is a festival founded by Mike Heinemann and Lukas Swiaczny. On two stages (an outdoor stage with a capacity of 1500 visitors and an indoor stage with a capacity of 500 visitors) we give death metal, thrash metal, grindcore and deathcore bands from all over the world the opportunity to bring their art to the german audience. The Dortmund Deathfest also supports smaller and local bands and offers them a stage.
Our Saturday headliner will be „Terrorizer“ from USA. Terrorizer, a pioneering American death metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1986, is revered for fusing death metal with grindcore elements. Known for their influential debut album „World Downfall“ (1989), they are acclaimed for their fast-paced, intensely aggressive musical style and socio-political lyrics. Despite a brief initial run and hiatus, Terrorizer’s impact on the extreme metal scene remains profound, inspiring numerous bands in the genre.
