More recently they recorded and mixed tracks at a secluded house in the German countryside without any computer involved.
Also on the bill are Irish heavy metal/hardcore quartet Bailer, who released their, new, eponymous EP, in February. They have won acclaim in Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, Metal Injection, and That's Not Metal. They also toured Russia earlier this year.
