A BAND OF ORCS performance will feature their new line up with Gronk! Shaman on high scream vocals and Cretos Filthgrinder on shredding guitars and gutteral growls. Oog Skullbasher will continue driving the war machine with his tribal beat
downs and the latest adition to the band, Srig Foehammer on bass, will take the stage with the Orcs for the second time. Be prepared for new material from the Orcs? yet-to-be-named forthcoming concept album about transdimensional-mind-fcking-demon-spiders-from the Abyss, due out in the first quarter of 2016 as well as their March of the Gore-Stained Axe Tribe EP that came out earlier this year and selected material from their earlier releases.
Coming fresh off their tour with Marty Friedman, expect EXMORTUS to be ready to party like oRcstars with their twin Axe attack and boundless energy!
Orctoberfest will be MC?d by none other than the Lich King himself from the latest Dubious Alliance expansion set Lair of the Lich King. He appeared earlier this year at the Kublai Con game convention and caused no end of trouble for Gronk! and Oog, but he?s not dead yet, so we figure if you can?t beat ?em make ?em join you!
