2/4 To be honest, the deciding factor for us to get tickets for #soulcrusher this year was the addition of #sijjin We saw them in 2022, they killed it. If you aren’t familiar with them, just know the band originates from the demise of the mighty #NecrosChristos Same intensity, same technicality. It’s #deathmetal too but with a twist of Thrash. Their set was tight and so headbanging-ly enjoyable.

This #thursdeath we can't help but think about this coming weekend's festival: #soulcrusher ! Lots of great metal bands will play, including #sijjin which we had the pleasure to see back in 2022 with #sadisticintent This footage gives a taste of things to come! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ANlnkmypR4&list=PLmn2ED1LqEvDm9gQke0WXv51xN5erPEYJ
