Danzig/Samhain Confirmed for Philip Anselmo’s Housecore™ Horror Film Festival

 It’s Time for Round Two and It’s All Happening at Emo’s in Austin, TX Between October 23 and 26, 2014.

More Artists Including Neurosis, Decapitated, Brian Posehn, King Parrot, Lustmord, Hobbs’ Angel Of Death, and Many Others Announced

 

 

Heavy metal legend Philip Anselmo and best-selling true crime author Corey Mitchell’s groundbreaking horror-meets-metal extravaganza, the Housecore™ Horror Film Festival, had already released a slew of jaw-dropping additions to this year’s lineup (Round 1), and now they’re coming at us with an even bigger announcement: they are very proud to welcome on board the legendary Glenn Danzig, who will treat fans to a U.S. exclusive combined headline performance of immortal classics from both Danzig and Samhain!

Anselmo stated of his good friend Danzig, “Glenn has taken me under his (black) wings since I was a young upstart in the music (horror) business and he’s a cool mofo!”

Danzig, a longtime horror enthusiast, has expressed his affection for the genre for more than 35 years via his various groundbreaking horror-themed musical acts The Misfits, Samhain, and his eponymous solo project, Danzig. In addition, the horrortrepeneur darkens the minds of the impressionable with his subversive underground horror comic book publishing company, Verotik, which includes titles like “Satanika,” “The Darkest Horror of Morella,” and “Grub Girl.” 

The mighty Neurosis will be bringing their monolithic slabs of crushing catharsis to HHFF’s stage for a rare and exclusive performance. They will be joined by Polish death metal icons Decapitated (see our article on the band’s new album track listing here, old-school Australian thrash titans Hobbs’ Angel Of Death, and the Godfather of dark ambient himself, Lustmord,  who has worked with The Melvins, Tool, Puscifer, Isis, and Coil (to name but a few) and is known as a sound designer on several films including cult classics The Crow and Underworld. This performance will mark Lustmord’s fourth show ever in the United States in his more than 30-year career.

 

In addition, attendees can expect to be bludgeoned by a horde of bloody upstarts.

 

 The latest round of additions joins an already immense list of terrifying bands (and special guest comedian Brian Posehn) announced as part of Round 1:

 

Now with a whole slew of additional performers, the line-up couldn’t possibly feature a more demonic, destructive, diverse array of metallic talent:

On top of all that, the one and only Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) will be joining in the fun at HHFF this year; he’ll be on hand for a live interview after a special screening of As The Palaces Burn and is set to be a guest presenter at the Rotscars.

This outstanding collection of heavy metal’s best and baddest bloody bludgeoners will be joined by plenty of others, including a few additional heavy hitters who will blow your mind straight out the back of your skull.

And you will say, “Thank you!” for the pain!

There’s plenty more on the way to please the full-on film buffs and horror freaks, too: we’ve already announced a jaw-dropping film event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the most important film in Texas history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with not one, not two, but ALL of the living members of the main cast appearing at HHFF ’14, including Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen!

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for the last round of announcements which will include both a few more headliners and even more film news! Make sure to grab your tickets while they’re still available at the Early Bird price of $199.
