Dying Fetus, Incantation, Gatecreeper, Genocide Pact

Begun in 2003, Relapse Records’ Contamination Tour reboots with a stopover in ATX where the Decibel Magazine Tour with Myrkur never made it.

Better still, Levitation heavies Windhand ply Richmond-heavy doom inside with fellow Virginians Satan’s Satyrs. – Raoul Hernandez
