PLAN AHEAD, METALFEST MANIACS!

If you’re hitting up this year’s New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, you’ll be happy to know that the set times have been announced for all the bands playing the two day event (April 23 – 24) in Worcester, Masschusetts. As the official MetalSucks correspondent for this year’s fest, I found this list invaluable in knowing when and where I’m going to want to be, given that so many great bands are performing.

Of course, this also forces me to have to make some pretty tough decisions. Earth Crisis or Doomriders? Disembodied or Skeletonwitch? Malefice or Rose Funeral?
