At UK Tech-Fest 2014, Destrage will join Vildhjarta, Glass Cloud along with a host of others including The Safety Fire, The Eyes Of A Traitor, Deadly Circus Fire and many more. Europe's first ever progressive and technical metal outdoor festival returns July 10th - 14th with a crushing next-generation metal lineup. Back for its third year, the festival has upgraded venues to the prestigious Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire.

Vocalist Paolo Colavolpe is well looking forward to it: "We're stoked to announce our presence at UK Tech Metal Fest this Summer! This will be our first UK show ever and it will happen at one of the coolest European festivals, sharing the stage with such great bands like The Ocean, The Safety Fire, Aliases, our mates in Alaya and more! So we're looking forward to meet ya all there on July 13th and we definitely can't wait to make your ears bleed, England!"

Destrage recently released a new video, created with live footage from their recent Are You Kidding Me? Tour throughout their home country of Italy. Thousands of fans across nine Italian cities came to see Destrage perform songs from their new album, Are You Kidding Me? No., and fans from the rest of the world can sample a small portion of what that show was like in the new video, which was directed by Destrage guitarist Matteo Di Gioia for The Jack Stupid.

Paolo Colavolpe adds: "Ladies and gentlemen, we're proud to release our live video for our new album opener "Destroy Create Transform Sublimate", this song and its lyrics mean a lot to us. The live footage is taken from our first three shows of our Italian tour and you guys were totally insane! Soon we'll announce more tours, we really can't wait to see you all on the road!"

Destrage recently released an extensive studio documentary, in which they discuss the creative process behind Are You Kidding Me? No. at length, including: Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal's guest solo, interviews with the team behind every step of the production, individual tracking performances, and much more.
