Hordes X have already confirmed the first three bands for this year’s line-up and they are worth the price of admission alone…
First, London’s death metal masters De Profundis return for a third Hordes X appearance! Having headlined the second stage in 2013 and 2016 the band now return, after a decade away for a Scottish exclusive, bill-topping appearance. Having celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2025 with a rejuvenated line-up and a stunning new EP, The Gospel Of Rot, the band are looking forward to celebrating with the Hordes X crowd.
“It’s been a decade since we last played Hordes. Four releases later, we’re back and spreading the Gospel of Rot further north than ever before, this time for a headliner set at an exclusive Scottish show for 2026. We have prepared a set from the depths of our career, bringing to the stage some of our some of our old favourites from over 20 years of extremity. See you at Hordes!”
