NEXT YEAR’S MARYLAND DEATHFEST ALREADY LOOKS GREAT

Maryland Deathfest’s longtime home may be gone (no, not Maryland — The Sonar), but that’s not slowing the event’s organizers down. They’ve announced that next year’s edition of the fest — the eleventh!!! — will take place from May 23 – 26 at a venue still to be determined, and they already have sixteen bands confirmed for the bill:

Venom
Carcass
Manilla Road
Righteous Pigs
Pentagram
Antaeus
Integrity
Convulse
Aosoth
Pelican
Midnight
!Tooh
Morgion
Kommandant
Ahumado Granujo
Ingrowing

I honestly do not care about Venom at this point in history, but — Carcass! Convulse! Pentagram! Pelican! A BAND WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT AT THE BEGINNING OF ITS NAME!!! And this is just the beginning! So I tip my hat to MDF’s curators. Nothing is certain in life, except for death, taxes, and Maryland Deathfest having an unfuckwithable line-up.

P.S. You think this means we’ll get full U.S. Carcass tour? I’ll cross my fingers, you sacrifice a goat in Ken Owen’s honor, okay?
