Dragged Into Sunlight Confirmed for Roadburn Festival Afterburner

Posted on Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Battering your aural nerve endings with the blackest sludge mainlined from the depths of hell, Dragged Into Sunlight evokes pure horror in a manner making Dennis Nilsen seem sane. With Billy Anderson at the helm of their debut album, Hatred for Mankind, is a masterpiece devoid of everything, descending into relentless sonic hell.

Dragged Into Sunlight is NOT a band for the weak – this is thick, sweeping riffage by the ounce, hellish vocals and thundering, redlined tom-heavy drums that ripsaw their way into your guts, causing blunt force trauma that only the select few could ever endure. Only the most downright Roadburners will be able to handle such a soundscape of total negativity aesthetic. We’re up for it! Are you?

Dragged Into Sunlight, along with technical thrash metal legends Coroner, Bongripper and Fleshpress will appear on Sunday, April 15th at the 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.
