Cleveland, Ohio based Death / Grinders EMBALMER have been confirmed to headline the Pre-Fest for the Central Illinois Metalfest. This pre-fest show will take place on July 22nd, at the Canopy Club in Urbana, Illinois (the same venue as the fest). Other acts on the bill include PUTRID PILE, HUMAN FILLETED, LEPROSO, ARMOROS and WHAT THOU WILL. The Band had this to say about the fest: "We are very happy to be headlining the pre-fest! Having played this fest 2 years before, we know exactly what kind of sick, party-filled weekend we’re in for. We look forward to delivering a crushing live performance, and thank Matt Bishop for having us help kick off the weekend in a sick way!!"
