Italian death metal band Demidead play Athens for the first time, topping a three-band bill at Black Temple. They arrive behind their latest album, War Against Ourselves, the record that lifted their touring career, and they are known for keeping crowds in constant headbanging. Greek progressive metallers Risabov take the special guest slot, drawing on their album Light Years Toward Impact. Local band Ktinos open the night with tracks from their EP Your Deathwish. That is three acts of extreme metal from Italy and Greece, stacked into a single evening.
