Last Housecore on the Left

Horror film fest's extreme metal soundtrack

And now for something completely different. With ACL Fest behind us and Fun Fun Fun Fest up ahead, Austin finally unearths a metal festival. The genre's bastard godfather, film frights screen all weekend during the Housecore Horror Film Festival & Heavy Metal Festival, while its soundtrack – both literal (Goblin!) and figurative – loads into a trio of local venues for the heaviest local massacre since Slayer razed Auditorium Shores in 2011.
