First Bands Announced for New England Metal & Hardcore Fest 2014

The first thirty-four bands, to be precise. Highlights for adults include Iced Earth, Nile, Sabaton, Nails, Scale the Summit, and Fit For An Autopsy, while All That Remains and Bleeding Through will entertain the kids’ table.

The real standout if you ask me, though, is Ramallah. I’ve only ever heard one song by this band and I had no idea that they were actively active (they haven’t come across my radar since 2008 — I checked), but that one song remains one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever heard.
