Earlier this week, the United Kingdom's premiere summertime tech-death/prog-death festival, aptly titled UK Tech-Fest, announced its first wave of artists for 2019. 

 

The festival, now in its eighth year, has now evolved to incorporate an eclectic yet cohesive lineup including a good mix of considerably high profile acts along with several up-and-coming/underground bands. 

 

Hosted at the Newark Showground from July 4th-8th, UK Tech-Fest 2019 will boast Dying Fetus and Monuments as its main headliners, with support from Psycroptic, Revocation, Jon Gomm, amongst many others.  Some exciting mid-profile additions include Pennsylvanian progressive death metallers Black Crown Initiate and Wisconsin guitar virtuoso Sarah Longfield, who released her debut album Disparity earlier this year.

​

The lineup for this years's Tech-Fest is looking extremely solid so far; dozens of bands have yet to be announced, so stay tuned if you're thinking of heading out to the UK to catch this gathering of complexity and brutality.
