MARYLAND DEATHFEST 2010 ALREADY COMING TOGETHER
Monday, October 12th, 2009 at 10:30am by Vince Neilstein
2009 was a banner year for metal festivals in the U.S., but one extreme music festival has outlived and out-brutaled all the rest: Maryland Deathfest. Now going into its 8th year, Maryland Deathfest is the flagship metal festival in the U.S. bar none, the closest we have to anything resembling the myriad European Summer festivals. The next iteration is still 7 months away, but already the lineup is well on its way to continuing the excellent tradition of past Deathfests.
Confirmed bands for 2010 that I’d be interested in seeing: Sodom, Obituary, Possessed, Pentagram, Gorguts, Entombed, Eyehategod, Converge, Melechesh, Gorod, 16 and Howl. And that’s only a portion of the whole list of bands who have been confirmed.
Rumors have been a swirlin’ about a reprise of last year’s highly successful Scion Rock Fest in Atlanta, but as of yet nothing has been announced. Either way, MDF 2010 is gonna be hard to beat.

Magrudergrind, Sodom, Converge, Gorguts, Melechesh, and The Chasm are the only bands in this lineup that I care about.
Why can’t I live in New England?
I suppose it doesn’t make much difference to your being able to attend (assuming you live in the Midwest/West Coast/another country), but for the record Baltimore is not in New England, it’s actually considered “the south”.
Baltimore isn’t the south. It is north of the Mason-Dixon and a short train ride from Philly.
oops…i meant south of the mason dixon…so technically, you are correct sir.
Dude: Magrudergrind, Coffins, Wolfbrigade, Captain FUCKING cleanoff, capitalist casualties, jesus crost, massgrave, fuck the facts and god damn GRIDLINK. Will be buying a ticket and going to this.
I didn’t NOTICE Fuck the Facts at first.
The dude part is reall directed towards everyone, but based on what you’re looking forward to you’ll probably like those bands as well.
The last metal fest I went to was Milwaukee in 2000. It was the first U.S. performance of both Opeth and Katatonia. I don’t think that experience can ever be topped, but I think I’m finally going to make the trip to MDF this year.
PORTAL!!!!!!!!
FUUUUUUUUCK!
Oh hell yeah
Seriously. I’m going just for them. NOT missing their first US show.
Been going for the last 3 years, next year will be no different. One of, if not the best US metal festival around, hands down.
Bloodstock open air, england, looks good already.
Gorod, Naglfar, Fuck the Fact, Magrudergrind, Melechesh, Portal, Autopsy…
I hope to see some of you crazy fuckers there.
I saw that Pollstar has
SCION ROCK FEST @ The Masquerade (ATL) Sat. 2/27/2010
Hope they work out a better ticket system, to guarantee entry somehow.

Yeah, it’s been announced. http://www.noisecreep.com/2009/09/22/blackened-music-series-scion-rock-fest-mastermind-is-putting-o/
I just hope it’s not 18+ again. Do you think I could sneak in, though? Do they check your ID? I’m 17.
