Offal Fest, the UK's premier event for gore, brutal, slam, and death metal, have revealed that Spanish technical/brutal death metallers Wormed will join the festival’s billing, replacing Internal Bleeding as Sunday co-headliner. Defeated Sanity remains as the second Sunday co-headliner.
Internal Bleeding had to cancel their Offal performance due to unforeseen logistical issues outside of their control. The festival organisers and the band explored all options, but their appearance is regrettably not possible. However, plans are already underway to bring the "kings of slam" back for a future event.
Offal Fest is also proud to announce its official sponsors, who will have merchandise available for purchase at the event:
- Brutal Mind: Founded in 2009 in Jakarta, Indonesia, Brutal Mind is a leading force in extreme underground and brutal metal merchandise.

Rancid Offal Promotions, the organisers behind events such as Goremageddon and Offal Fest, said: "We are absolutely gutted that Internal Bleeding can't make it this year, as we and the band tried everything we could to make this work. However, we are incredibly excited to welcome Wormed to the stage.
"They are an incredible addition to our already stacked line-up, and we know they'll deliver an unforgettable performance. We're also thrilled to announce our partnerships with these fantastic sponsors, who represent the very best of the extreme metal underground."
