45 More Bands Added to Maryland Deathfest 2016, Including Testament, Nuclear Assault, Repulsion and More

Wanna know why Maryland Deathfest sells out so far in advance year after year after year? Because the fest’s organizers never, ever fail to put together a ridiculously good line-up. And so the MDF brand has become a thing of value in and of itself, not unlike Wacken. You really don’t need to know who’s gonna be on the bill — you just know that you’re gonna need to be there.

Case in point: the forty-five bands MDF have just announced for the 2016 edition of the fest.

Jeezy creezy, that’s a great line-up. I’m sure that some idiot somewhere is bitching about Testament not being a death metal band, but that dude can go suck an egg, ’cause Testament are awesome.

MDF 2016 will take place from May 26 – May 30 in Baltimore. Tickets will go on sale here once the final line-up has been announced.
