Dead of Winter Fest: The Trilogy has been and gone, but the stench and the memories from this one are going to stick around for a long while. Thankfully, there weren’t any tricky weather conditions to deal with this time, which allowed Kendo and Kwando from BrainBath to run a flawless festival. They managed to drink Ivory Blacks dry and make plenty of new friends along the way, making this the festival of 2026 already for me.
It was a proper feast of underground death metal, and it was a pleasure to get the chance to interview the bands as well as seeing so many old and new faces in the crowd. For this chat, we caught up with old-school death metallers Austerymn, who were many people’s surprise package on the day. They played a blistering set and, once again, got the stage divers flowing. It was a pleasure talking to Rik and Bob to discuss what is happening next for Austerymn.
