Additional lineup update for KCNFV: It is with heavy hearts we must announce that Destroyer Destroyer is no longer able to perform due to one of the members being involved in a bad mountain biking accident. They are so incredibly sorry to have to pull out of Misery Fest, and we are crushed too. We wish them nothing but the best and for a smooth recovery for their guitarist.

White Boy Scream will be taking over the Sunday headlining spot. There are so many incredible artists on the bill, you’d be silly to miss this for one change. See you real soon!

Kansas City Noise Fest V - Misery Fest

Whitephosphorous is a death industrial act born of the authoritarian led conversation that an infinite amount of taxpayer money should be spent by the state on weapons of war advertised as measures of security against its enemies. Even when those percieved enemies are domestic and civilian targets. The nightmare grows as the war hounds in the White House begin to point fingers at anyone and everyone critical of their methods in a permanent climb towards the total canonization of the man who holds the leash on the American war machine.

Combining samples of fascist politicians, combat footage, and the police state the project seeks to emphasize the horror that we have begun to accept as the new normal through their campaign of propaganda and intimidation.

A better world is possible but it is only after the love of power is long buried in a deep and unmarked grave.

Whitephosphorous headlines Kansas City Noise Fest V - Misery Fest on Saturday, August 30th!

Ahriman is a noise project by Kansas City native, Thomas Lane, who is also the mind behind Skunt Productions, Tenant, and this year’s KC Noise Fest. Representing chaos and destruction, Ahriman specializes in a consuming blend of low-end harsh noise, power electronics, drone, and dark ambience crafted with contact mic’d props, synths, and bass. Notable performances of his include Fargo Noise Fest 4, and live scorings of Nosferatu and Häxan. Do not miss his performance Saturday August 30th at Misery Fest!
