Hoursecore Records found Phil Anselmo will be hosting the third annual Housecore Horror Festival on November 13 through 15 at the Aztec Theater in San Antonio, TX. We're not aware of the full lineup yet, but so far we've got Suffocation, Autopsy, Cripple Bastards, Nails, SYk & Dalila Kayros, YOB, Eyehategod, Child Bite and Warbeast. Which, y'know, is a hell of a way to start off the announcements for a festival! Anyone wanna bet that Superjoint Ritual will be playing?
This will also be the first Housecore Horror Festival without co-founder Corey Mitchell, who tragically passed away in October.
"I've got a great team in place to help make this what Corey and I wanted it to be," he says. "There are a lot of mixed emotions here because no one can replace him. But, we know he would want this to continue and so that's what we're going to do. We miss him and think about him every day."
Nice! What better way to honor Mitchell than carrying on his legacy? According to the press release, the festival will also feature "film gems from the personal vaults of both Anselmo and Mitchell.: Horror filmmakers are encouraged to submit their films and winners will be selected in various categories and given the coveted Rot-Scar Award."
Bad. Fucking. Ass.
