Earlier this month, the Garden State played host to a massive display of brutality in the form of this year’s NJ DeathFest. As you can probably imagine, it was an event comprised of an assload of bands looking to throw down at the legendary Dingbatz in Clifton.

From April 12 to 13, that’s exactly what happened, with bands like Wormrot, Gorgatron, Abacinate, Nuclear Remains, and a whole lot more ripping it up. There was no way we were going to miss this event, so of course we had to at least send our friend and incredibly talented photographer Jess Ripper out there.

Armed with her trusty camera, she headed out and bared the unwashed masses just to get these images to you. Seriously, there’s a lot to check out so be sure to take your time and live vicariously through these killer shots.

As always, a big thanks is in order for Jess Ripper, who was at the show to take these great photos. Comment on how good her work is down below. Oh and feel free to follow her on Instagram at @jess1ripper.
