BENIGHTED are still on a rampage through Canada, but already preparing for another brutal death onslaught that will bring the French band to England’s shores. The tour kicks of in the London area, in Croydon at the Scream Lounge on the 11th of April and runs through five more crushing shows before a final hit on the Face Bar in Reading on April 17th.
The band comments: “We are very proud and excited to come back to the UK for this leg. We are looking forward to kick ass together with our friends from CANCEROUS WOMB and ABHORRENT DECIMATION, who will join us!

BENIGHTED are celebrating their 15th anniversary of grinding death mastery with the release of a live album with DVD entitled ‘Brutalive the Sick’. All songs and images were recorded at the French Sylak Open Air on the 9th of August 2014. The band comments: “We are happy to announce our first live album ‘Brutalive the Sick'”, state BENIGHTED. “These 13 tracks represent our unleashed fury on stage, whipped up by an amazing crowd. We hope this makes for a suitably brutal and insane birthday gift for all of you!” BENIGHTED have continually set new benchmarks for brutality and viciousness. The listener is heavily beaten into submission by their relentless vocal onslaught, massive riffing, and close-to-inhuman drumming. The brutal death outfit was brought to life by members from the French death and black metal bands DISHUMANIZED, DARKNESS FIRE and OSGILIATH, who joined forces in May 1998 for a more aggressive, heavy and modern way of expression. When their first self-titled and self-produced full-length ‘Benighted’ hit the streets in the year 2000, it created a strong impact. What had originally started as a side-project soon became the main thing. With every following album their fan-base grew. ‘Psychose’ (2002), ‘Insane Cephalic Production’ (2004), ‘Identisick’ (2006), and ‘Icon’ (2007) were equally enthusiastically received by adherents and critics alike. BENIGHTED’s impact was massively aided by the band’s mind-blowing live performances at extensive tours and prestigious international festivals such as Neurotic Death Fest, Hellfest, Summer Breeze, and Inferno Festival among many others. With ‘Asylum Cave’ (2011) the French cemented their reputation for psychopathic topics as the album was based on a fictional concept of a delusional schizophrenic’s obsession with deranged Austrian pervert Joseph Fritzl. The latest masterpiece ‘Carnivore Sublime’ (2014) dealt with a borderline patient descending into cannibalism. Buckle up for a mega-heavy live ride!
