Dethfest Confessions: The Devil's Playlist
The bands survived Dethfest long enough to confess what happened before, during, and after the world’s most brutal metal festival.
The amplifiers have gone silent, but the bands of Dethfest still have stories to tell. Edited by Lyndsey Smith and Mark Tullius, Dethfest Confessions: The Devil’s Playlist gathers fifteen horror authors from around the world to explore the musicians, monsters, grudges, appetites, and private atrocities behind the festival lineup. Four stories—“Eat Me,” “B Is for Brother,” “Die Forever,” and “Fighting Fire with Fire”—also exist as standalone digital releases, while the full anthology reveals the larger playlist of terror. The collection ranges from dark suspense to graphic extreme horror and contains depictions of violence and sexuality intended for adult readers. No knowledge of the interactive novel is required, but fans of Try Not to Die: At Dethfest will discover an expanded universe hiding behind every stage pass, tour van, and distorted guitar. Turn up the volume. The bands are ready to confess.
