The organizers of North America’s extreme metal mecca Maryland Deathfest must never get a vacation, because the hype and planning of the annual festival begins almost immediately after the last one draws to a close. Truthfully, I greatly suspect the planning for next year’s iteration began before this year’s fest…
If you’re in the northern hemisphere like most of you who read this site, then you’re no doubt enjoying the benefits of natural seasonal changes as the nightmare that was winter 2015 has given way to a beautiful spring. And if you’re in the southern hemisphere — particularly if you’re…
I’ve had my ticket for Maryland Deathfest purchased since the day it’s gone on sale, and I’ve been pretty stoked about making the pilgrimage up to Baltimore this summer ever since. One of the main selling points for me was the exclusive US show from Norway’s Ulver. A weekend of…
Aside from two bands still to be confirmed, the near-complete lineup for Maryland Deathfest has been announced! Here is the last batch of bands confirmed to be playing the festival, which takes place May 22nd – 25th 2014 in Baltimore, MD: DARK ANGEL – One of only a few US…
Word has been granted from the higher ups (ie, my girlfriend) that I now have the okay to start saving up and planning a trip to Baltimore next year for Maryland Deathfest. I had to sit out this year’s fest due to lack of funds and a job search, but…

Maryland Deathfest, America’s self-proclaimed “biggest metal party of the year,” was fantastic this year. As much fun as I had and enjoyed the almost surreal dive into saturated metal subculture for that weekend, I was under the impression that it was going to be a one-time thing for me. Judging…
I miss Maryland Deathfest already. It was like living in a surreal world all weekend where I didn’t have to do a damn thing other than hang out with friends and watch metal bands. While the 2012 show was excellent, next year’s edition already looks like a step up. The…
