Lawnmower Deth

King of Pigs at The Underworld

Formed in Nottingham in 1987, Lawnmower Deth are one of the UK’s most gloriously unhinged cult thrash bands. Blending razor-sharp riffs, hardcore velocity and a warped sense of humour, the band occupy the chaotic space where thrash, punk and hardcore collide—loud, fast and unapologetic.

Early releases including Ooh Crikey (1989), the Kids In America EP (1990), Return of the Fabulous Metal Bozo Clowns (1991) and Billy (1993) earned them a fiercely loyal following thanks to their breakneck songs and anarchic live shows. After years of cult status, the band returned in 2022 with Blunt Cutters — their first studio album in 29 years — produced by Chris Clancey and released via Cherry Red.

Lawnmower Deth’s legend has only grown over time, with appearances at Download Festival (six times), Bloodstock, Damnation and London’s Alexandra Palace, plus a notorious collaboration with Kim Wilde on the festive anthem FU Kristmas.

Known for chaotic performances delivered with equal parts precision and reckless abandon, the band thrive on audience connection and pure energy.

With new drummer Chris Billam (Consumed) now behind the kit and the band firing harder than ever, Lawnmower Deth continue to prove that good taste is optional — but volume and velocity are essential.
