Vegas Deathfest not for the faint

It's Sunday, bloody Sunday, kiddies, and the Las Vegas Deathfest is here to ensure that the plasma flows freely.

Boasting a gut-churning lineup of such guttural underground bruisers as Flesh Consumed, Dismal Lapse, Embryonic Devourment and more, this bill is not for the weak of stomach.

Grab the Mylanta and get ready, dudes. The show starts at 7 p.m. today at the Cheyenne Saloon, 3103 N. Rancho Drive. Tickets are $15; call 645-4139.
