On Saturday, May 17, unspeakable evil will descend on a small club in the Montrose area of Houston, Texas. Destroying Texas Fest IX will feature headliners Sadistic Intent and home-grown Houston apostatic skull crushers Blaspherian among other local and regional acts. Like the previous incarnations of this series of fests, it promises to be a whirlwind of up-and-coming bands followed by the established acts.
Out of towners may appreciate the locale. Once a third ward community riddled with bullet holes and strewn with bodies, the Montrose area was gentrified into a homosexual enclave during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and then re-gentrified in the early 2000s by hipsters and yuppies. As a result, many metal clubs have closed, leaving Mango’s an alternative the size of your living room. It’s an “intimate setting.”
However, the location is easy to find and should have abundant parking nearby, which means that the hordes of metalheads sure to descend on this booming cosmopolitan city will have a solid base of operations as they explore blasphemous music at full intensity. The lineup for the show is slated to be:
- Sadistic Intent
- Blaspherian
- Nodens
- Morgengrau
- Inverted Trifixion
- Nethermost

Just saw Sadistic Intent in Virginia and they fucking slayed. One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Total energy. I can only imagine but it felt like seeing Slayer during the Show No Mercy era. They also played two new songs that will be out on Iron Pegasis as an EP in the near future. Anyone going to see this is in for a treat. Inverted Trifixion was excellent as well and even played a Darkthrone cover for the crowd. \m/
