The presence of Atlanta sludge fiends Zoroaster and the similarly punishing Chicago-based Minsk on this bill is noteworthy for local underground metal fans, and those fans would be well-advised to arrive early enough to catch the three native bands that round out the lineup. Mountain Ov Dawn hails from Winter Haven and features former Dove member Jon Turner; they revel in aggressive, psychedelic heaviness, while Dark Castle dishes out a doom-and-gloomy vibe. But it’s the graphically named Six Dead Horses that should be paid close attention. Formed from the ashes of the dearly departed Railsplitter – an Orlando band so heavy and ballsy they named their CD Sunday Morning at the Church of the Head Splitting Riff – Six Dead Horses delivers an attack that’s even crunchier and faster than the acts topping the bill.
