Be it grind, crust or doom, it’s hard to beat Chaos in Tejas for all shades of extreme punk and metal. Now the annual musical punch in the throat has unleashed another pack of bands for 2013, with Screaming Females and brutal innovators Infest joining none other than John Peel’s favorite grinders, the mighty Bolt Thrower.
Brooklyn Vegan just released this latest addition to the line-up. The British grind icons will be headlining the four day festival, May 30 to June 2, next year. Today’s announcement adds Japanese metalers Abigail and Framtid, as well as local pulverizers Mammoth Grinder. They’ll be joining Orange County hardcore pioneers Final Conflict, modern surf punks Night Birds, and the Dischord-esque Milk Music. No word yet on when tickets will go on sale.
