European festival Heavy Days in Doomtown is the focus of the short documentary Smells Like Sweat, out now and available for download and streaming on YouTube. The 20-minute documentary on the Danish festival features appearances both in interview and live from names like Noothgrush, Pilgrim, The Wounded Kings, Bottom Feeder and more.
A fascinating fact abt the documentary is the filmmakers’ staunch devotion to DIY. Dig on their creedo:
We are unknown factor.
We make no-budget films for less than 200$ and volunteering work.
We distribute for free.
We take support in form of buying our merchandise and seeding our movies from thepiratebay.se
Support these filmmakers if you can, and independent film in general. Start by streaming the film below in its entirety.
Heavy Days in Doomtown is now sold-out of four day passes for its 2013 edition, but three day passes are still available. The festival features names like Pagan Altar, Graves at Sea, Cough, Conan, Samothrace, High Priest of Saturn (who have a new song & LP), Moss, Bell Witch, Shadow of The Torturer, Mournful Congregation and many many others. Check out a mix from the festivals below, alongside the documentary.

The folks behind Heavy Days In Doomtown are also behind Killtown Deathfest. Really rad people repping Copenhagen hard.
Thanks for words!
All feedback we get makes the year of head-against-wall-filmmaking worth-while. We are opening up the archives of full interviews from our site. later maybe the concert recordings will see daylight from their vhs bucket in my corner.
- Unknown Factor
I remember seeing who I presume were the unknown factor guys running arond Ungdomshuset setting up videocameras attached to the ceiling by ropes, was seriously worried I’d knock one down headbanging to Noothgrush haha.
I can say without a doubt that HDDT is my favourite fest. Last year had the best atmosphere, venues, people out of every fest I’ve attended. Can’t wait for this years, see you in Copenhagen!
