Prepare for a descent into malevolent chaos as St. Louis tech-death titans Summoning The Lich take the stage to headline Friday night! Bringing the high-stakes fantasy of their latest album, Under The Reviled Throne, to the festival grounds, the band delivers a masterclass in streamlined, narrative-driven extremity. Expect a “death metal Empire Strikes Back” experience — where blistering technicality meets massive hooks and the sprawling lore of the Lich’s tyrannical rise. From the rhythmic pummeling of “My Horrors Unending” to the epic resistance of Arrias, Friday night belongs to the Lich.
