Rabidfest is in its fifth year and had some amazing local and UK acts playing their festival this year, which included headliners Blaze Bayley on Saturday and Bound in Fear on the Sunday. This was an extremely well run event courtesy of the Rabidfest team and if you are ever in the Oxford area in November, then this is definitely a festival to keep an eye on. The team at Rabidfest have big plans for next year after it has been growing steadily year on year and will definitely be one that I will attend yearly in the future.
Sunday headliners and heavy as a heavy thing act Bound in Fear tore the Oxford stage a new one. Relentless deathcore with heavy beatdowns were the order of the day which was enough for me to buy their two albums at the merch stall. What is surprising is that they have travelled all over the place but not released a new album since 2019, so I decided to ask if Bound in Fear are now a doom metal band. Bound in Fear also have plenty in store for us all, so watch the interview and find out what.
