01. Domkraft
– Swedish sludge rookies of the year kick of their maiden U.S. tour by tearing down the walls on the Vinyl Stage on Sunday night.

02. Sumac
– The waves will be huge at the Pool Stage Friday night. And in the thick of it will be Pacific-Northwest sludge juggernauts, Sumac!

03. North
– North have been riding high on their recently released live album, and the sludge trio will be bringing the loudest and heaviest riffs.

04. Ruby the Hatchet
– Philly-based psychedelic doom rockers share the stage with legends Pentagram on Thursday at the Pool Pre-party. Things are guaranteed to get spooky.

05. Heavy Temple
– Philly occult rockers have been steadily on the rise since their release last year of Chassit, and will definitely be a buzz over at the Vinyl stage.

06. Jex Thoth
– Female-fronted mythical doomsters will be crushing skulls and keeping the heavy line up going over on the poolside along with Weedeater and Blood Ceremony.

07. Weedeater
– Not really an underdog, but the mighty Weedeater share a time slot with Earthless, perhaps with them playing poolside is enticing enough for you?

08. Mulatu Astatke
– Afro beat jazz at a metal festival?? Yes, it’s true and we are told it is a must-see act. Plus some of you degenerates could use a little class over the weekend.

09. Celetese
– This artistic French get up breaks molds with their unique sound and all around solid stage presence. If not for the music, stay for their light show.

10. The Skull
– Members from the disbanded American doom giants, Trouble, cook up some good old fashioned heavy metal Saturday night in the Vinyl.
