they really should change the name of the festival at this point.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY (Animosity lineup)

I always like CoC, but how the fuck do they fit in the MDF??
They must be hard up for $$

Some more bands have been added, it shaping up and looking better.

Needs more Mike Patton and DEP!

Yeah this. They pick waaay too many bands that only a dozen people seem to have heard of. That'd be fine as long as they did like last year and get a bunch of awesome, well known, DEATH METAL headliner bands.

I wonder if the two black hookers who were at the deli across the street will still be there when I return. We had a good conversation... they were lacking quite a bit of self respect, but i like my women like that anyhows.

race traitor

CoC, Exhorder, Kylesa, Goatsnake, Neurosis, Orange Goblin

They just confirmed Voivod. What the fuck happened to the "death metal" part of this festival

yeah really. bands like CoC, Exhorder, Kylesa, Goatsnake, Neurosis, Orange Goblin, while they may or may not be good, have no business at this festival.

Who the hell would want to go to a festival with nothing but death metal bands? I hope they change the name to Maryland Metalfest and keep the variety.

I don't mind the occasional out of genre band, but this year it seems like the only death metal bands there are these extremely obscure bands that most people have never heard of. Last year was great as they had some classic DM acts like Obituary, Entombed, Pestilence, Gorguts, Autopsy. Hell just ONE of those bands coming back this year would make it 10x better. This fest looks like shit this year.

Something tells me, with izzy being so displeased that this years festival will be the most successful yet.

I think it's all set, here's the running order:

Looks as fuck.

I don't know if anyone's actually going but the club it's located at, Sonar Lounge, has been shut down. Damn shame because it was a great place for it. I'm not sure of any better place in Baltimore for it.

Damn that sucks. That place was actually located pretty well, or so I thought. The overpass above the parking lot provided great shade from the hot ass sun. However, I'm not going this year, I thought I was, but a few people I was going with either aren't going or still unsure. I have that week off from work so who knows...but, I doubt it.

It looks like pure ass. Too much grindcore and other odd genres at for something called a deathfest. They should just call it a grindfest because that's basically what it's turning into.

Noisear, Flesh Parade, Nails, Hatred Surge, Kylesa, Exhumed, Neurosis, Funebrarum, Creative Waste, Cretin, Hail of Bullets, Skinless, Wormed, Last Days of Humanity, Ghost...

I have no complaints. Except that I won't be able to go, most likely.

Where did you see Skinless? Aren't they broken up anyway?

Holy shit, they are playing. WTF?

Oh they did break up, but the MDF is going to be their farewell show...I might have to go just for that.

they should just find a nice quiet park in a residential area where they can set up a couple of stages.

Okay apparently Sonar has resolved whatever issue caused them to close down and they're back open and the fest is still on at the same place. That's very cool because it means I can go see Neurosis for free by standing outside in the parking lot

Im pretty sure Ill be attending Friday. and SUnday, maybe tailgate on saturday.

i'm really tempted to go just for buzzoven.

I'm really tempted to go just to punch Izzy in the testicles.

I hope you have tiny fists
