New England Metal and Hardcore Fest is This Weekend!

This year’s New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is its TWENTIETH, which boggles my mind. While in some ways it feels like the festival has been around forever, it really doesn’t feel like that long ago that NEMHF first gave it a go and quickly became the ONLY metal festival worth a shit in the U.S. Time is weird that way… isn’t it? Sure, there may be tons of metal fests all over the country now, but it wasn’t always so easy!

This year’s festival will take place this coming weekend, April 20th and 21st, at its usual home of The Palladium in Worcester, MA.
