Desecrator @ Old Kilmore Gaol, Kilmore 1-May-2021

Melbourne's thrash metal kings Desecrator performed at Kilfest inside the Old Kilmore Gaol in the regional Victorian town of Kilmore on Saturday 1 May 2021. Armed with a vinyl reissue, the band is currently celebrating the 10-Year Anniversary of their Live Til Death debut album that was recorded at The Arthouse in North Melbourne. Since then, Desecrator has toured Europe multiple times, performing as opening act for Overkill, Venom Inc. and Airbourne, winning over fans with their twin guitar attack, punishing rhythm section and blood-soaked vocals. Desecrator is Riley Strong on guitar and vocals, Jared Roberts on drums, Gerad Biesboer on bass, and Andrew Hudson on lead guitar.
