Keep it Low #12 Adds Slomosa, Belzebong, Mondo Drag, Coltaine and More
The poster below still heralds more to come, so I guess the lineup for Keep it Low #12 this October in Munich still isn’t done — room for Colour Haze, if they can make it — but adding Slomosa, Belzebong and Hällas to the top of the bill isn’t gonna hurt, classic heavyproggers Mondo Drag, doom metal torchbearers Early Moods, and ascendant post-genre explorers Coltaine are part of this cohort as well, along with Thronehammer and The Delayed. They join the ranks of 1000mods, The Devil and the Almighty Blues, Kombynat Robotron and a bunch of other cool bands for the two-dayer, held annually at Backstage.
You can see the full bill below for the Sound of Liberation-associated fest, which has become over the years an anchor for its appointed weekend for Fall European tours, put on by SOL and others. Along with Desertfest Belgium, Up in Smoke, Lazy Bones, Høstsabbat and others spread around Europe, it plays an important role in the circuit.
From the PR wire:

Get ready for a powerful expansion featuring:

More riffs. More fuzz. And there’s still more to come.
