Winter Festival 3: Interview with Miasmic Serum
Dead of Winter Fest: The Trilogy has come and gone, leaving a lasting impression on all those who attended. Fortunately, this time around, there were no challenging weather conditions to contend with, allowing the organizers, Kendo and Kwando from BrainBath, to execute a flawless event at Ivory Blacks. The festival, which took place in 2026, has already become a standout event of the year for many. It showcased an array of underground death metal acts and provided an opportunity to connect with both the bands and the audience.
Among the standout performers of the day were Italian horror death metallers Miasmic Serum, who surprised many with their impressive set. Following the festival, we have been covering the aftermath and had the chance to interview several bands, including Austerymn and French death grinders Putrid Offal. Miasmic Serum’s energetic performance stirred up the crowd and set the stage for an exhilarating experience. Talking to Vanny, we gained insight into the band’s future plans following the release of their recent EP, “Better Left Dead.”
The absence of inclement weather allowed the festival to run smoothly, creating an atmosphere that was conducive to an unforgettable music experience. Attendees, both old and new, were treated to a diverse lineup of talented musicians, contributing to the overall success of the event. The festival not only offered an abundance of great music but also fostered new connections and friendships within the metal community.
While some may choose to support us through Patreon, others can show their appreciation by buying us a drink. Miasmic Serum can be found on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, and Bandcamp, allowing fans to stay updated on the band’s latest news and releases.
As Trevor Peres of Obituary famously stated, “Anything to do with Death, Dying, or being Chopped In Half, then I’m into it.” With a history of avidly following death metal since the late 80s, alongside a love for dark ambient music, the juxtaposition of these two genres continues to captivate and resonate with fans of extreme metal.
In conclusion, Dead of Winter Fest: The Trilogy proved to be a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on all those involved. The dedication of the organizers, coupled with the exceptional performances by bands like Miasmic Serum, contributed to a memorable and exhilarating music festival. As we look forward to future events and continue to explore the diverse world of underground metal, moments like these remind us of the enduring spirit and camaraderie within the metal community.
