A Fist in the Face of God Presents... Live Evil Mix 2013

This October, London will temporarily be around 300 long-hairs deeper thanks to Live Evil festival, back for a third round of metal mayhem after a year-long hiatus.

The festival, curated by Marek Steven of Amulet, is just as strong as ever and is taking place at a new home, the Garage in Islington. Bands are picked from the now-vast library of acts chosen by Darkthrone's Fenriz to appear on his legendary Band of the Week site. So, if you want to know where heavy metal is at in 2013 and don't have the time to learn Norwegian or patience to decipher all those flyers stuck on the walls around the Underworld, this would be a great place to find out.

For those with absolutely no clue where to start, I decided to help out by putting together a mix that showcases all of this year's acts. So here it is, featuring all 14 contenders. Play it loud and go see the bands when they play in just under a month's time. I mean, what the fuck else are you going to be doing except Instagramming photos of your drunk friends and complaining about how it's not summer any more?
