I'm not much into the harsher stuff these days so Kinetik hasn't been very appealing. I've had little interest in the lineup for the past few years, but that's just a personal preference. I've heard many good things about the festival. Edwin Sonambulist of Industrial Strength Nightmares does a lot about Kinetik on his show (
