Desertfest Belgium 2017: Kadavar, Church of Misery, Monolord and Church of the Cosmic Skull Join Lineup

The plot thickens as regards Desertfest Belgium 2017, set for this October in Antwerp. A quick turnaround from the last announcement brings the news that Kadavar, Church of Misery, Monolord and Church of the Cosmic Skull will take part in this year’s fest, and while this latest round of additions keeps with the four-at-a-time theme that the festival has worked with thus far in unveiling its acts, it departs from the prior two updates in not including an actual Belgian band.

You’ll recall that Hidden Trails and Hemelbestormer had previously been added. One doubts those are the last Belgian outfits who’ll take the stage at Desertfest Belgium 2017 in any case, but it’s just something different this time around. I don’t think anyone could look a the roster of talent thus far assembled and say the organizational effort has been misspent.

To wit, this from the PR wire:

Desertfest Belgium 2017 – NEW NAMES! Kadavar, Church of Misery and more!

Hot on the trails of our last announcement, we’re back already with a quadruple punch of heavy rocking goodness that will get the blood rushing for October to come, for sure!

We realize that for some of you internet-savvy Festers, the addition of the mighty Kadavar to the DF Antwerp line-up is a known fact already. So how about we turn it up even more, and drop Church of Misery as a headliner as well? And if that’s still not enough, would the announcement of Monolord do the trick?
Yep, that’s what we thought! So as a cherry on the cake, let’s round it off with the Nottingham supergroup Church of the Cosmic Skull, who dropped one of the more memorable rock albums from last year.

More details below, and more great bands to come in the near future!

KADAVAR

Whether in front of 3,000 sweating Mexican souls, in a remote pub in the Macedonian mountains or facing huge European festival crowds – every single night, KADAVAR performs as furiously as a tremendous tempest hailing down on earth! Now returning to the city where they recorded their eponymous live album in 2013, Kadavar will make sure to meet high expectations, and exceed them if possible!

CHURCH OF MISERY

The Church rises again! Now back on the stage with an entirely new line-up formed around founding bassist Tatsu Mikami, we can’t wait to hear what this most legendary of doom bands has in store for us. Whether it’s bonafide classics from the vaults, tracks from last year’s ‘And Then There Were None’, or entirely new material – be sure to find us in the front row!

MONOLORD

No flash and no frills, since their formation in 2013 Monolord has been a trusted staple for the stoner rock community for one reason: they’re a damn hard working band delivering the goods night after night. Finding themselves before ever growing crowds, their straightup workingman’s doom’n’sludge is certainly at its most effective when mainlined in a live setting.

CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL

Church of the Cosmic Skull is a twofold entity: a new religious movement who seek to free mankind from their material possessions and unify all living beings into a singular cosmic whole… and a 7-piece supergroup from Nottingham playing seventies psychrock with six-part Queen-esque vocal harmonies and a touch of Thin Lizzy. Fans of Black Mountain, King Gizzard and Uncle Acid should get psyched for this.
