Maryland Death Fest (MDF) XI (May 23-26, 2013) dates announced.[views:96884][posts:351][show listing] _____________________________ [Oct 2,2012 5:50pm - ark ""] Lamp said:That's the thing I'm saying too though, without hardcore punk you wouldn't even have thrash or any of the faster genres of metal at all. Perhaps punk kids were just mad that metalheads only got something out of the music and not the message. OH WELL that's a chicken and egg argument, it's divergent evolution, complete incestual history. neither genre has ever had a consistent message. "metal vs. punk" smells like 80's hijinks to SELL RECORDS because all of it was big money by then. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 2,2012 5:56pm - the_reverend ""] Carina is booking my hotel as we speak. Woot. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 2,2012 5:58pm - KEVORD ""] The 80's Punk vs. Metal thing was more about scenes and cliques then about music. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 2,2012 6:54pm - spence nli ""] So MDF is totally all like: HEY WE ARE GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW VENUE SOON and I'm all... Holy fuck... where the fuck is it going to be? I hope it's not going to affect anything Then MDF is all like: JK guiz, we are doing it at Sonar because the new owners are cool. /facepalm Kind of silly. |

| __________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:25pm - chrisREX ""] Hopefully Down headlines Sunday so I can have an ample break. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:34pm - nekronaut ""] No King Diamond = gay. Also, what a weak ass update besides The Obsessed and Ascension. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:35pm - KEVORD ""] I'm a fan of Down and the Melvins but they do not belong at MDF. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:38pm - LucidCurse ""] The fuckin obsessed. yessssss |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:41pm - AndrewBastard ""] yeah what the SHITTT? so bummed KD isnt playing.... |
| ________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:42pm - KEVORD ""] No King Diamond is super gay. I wish they could have gotten an actual metal band to take Down and the Melvins slots. I fear this fest is gonna turn really mainstream and gay over the next few years. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:42pm - arilliusbm ""] I can't wait to see KOBALT. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:58pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Vinterland |
| ________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 12:59pm - Spence ""] Down and Exodus are going to bring all the tough guys to MDF '13. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 1:00pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Spence said:Down and Exodus are going to bring all the tough guys to MDF '13. Shut up dumb head |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 1:06pm - LucidCurse ""] I didn't even realize Cobalt was playing. Gin is stelar |
| _____________________________ [Oct 9,2012 2:20pm - Lamp ""] You would think an Infest reunion would be a good thing... but nope. This cannot end well. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 9,2012 2:31pm - Lamp ""] The only bands on the Soundstage I'd be real interested in seeing are Hellshock and Sete Star Sept, the rest I've ever seen before or don't care about or both. As for the in Sonar announcement, whole bunch of no care. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 9,2012 2:55pm - Spence ""] "Just a few things that we'd like to follow up on: As mentioned previously, accidentally left off of the list posted earlier is Massgrav (Sweden), who will be playing at Soundstage. We'd also like to make it clear that the Ascension playing is the black metal band, the Necropsy playing is the local band from Baltimore and NOT the Finnish band, and the Infest playing is NOT from Poland. As always, if there is no country of origin listed next to the band, you can assume they are from the US. Next Monday, multi-day passes and Thursday only tickets will be available to purchase at 12 pm (ET). There will be multi-day pass options that cover only bands playing at the former Sonar, and there will also be an option that covers all bands on all days at both venues. As mentioned previously, Soundstage will only be in use from Friday-Sunday. We will announce who is playing the Thursday show on the 15th when tickets go on sale. We will have a list of bands for the other days complete before the end of October, which is when single day tickets for those days will go on sale." |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 9:56pm - quintessence ""] Meh D F.. Its good but I dunno about this year.. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 9,2012 10:07pm - demondave ""] Melvins don't belong here at all. I've seen them multiple times and like em and all, but it's annoying considering how many times they have mocked metal and metal fans over the years. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 10,2012 12:37pm - trioxin245 ""] not mention anyone who hasnt seen Melvins at least fifty times by now is either not a fan or in a coma. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 10,2012 12:45pm - arilliusbm ""] Probably going to the Heathen Crusade in March in lieu of this Ghost Dad and too-many-people fest. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 3:34pm - KEVORD ""] Aren't 4 day passes on sale today? If so I'm buying one when I get home. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 3:36pm - Spence ""] Yup, they went on sale this morning. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 4:02pm - nekronaut ""] KEVORD said:Aren't 4 day passes on sale today? If so I'm buying one when I get home. BUY ME ONE |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 4:28pm - chrisREX ""] $215 for 4 days at both venues. $185 for just Sonar. Kind of lame. I did the latter. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 5:16pm - KEVORD ""] Just bought the $185 4 day pass for just Sonar. Fuck that show at the baltimore soundstage. The only thing I'm missing is Infest. I'll keep the $30. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 5:21pm - trioxin245 ""] KEVORD said:Just bought the $185 4 day pass for just Sonar. Fuck that show at the baltimore soundstage. The only thing I'm missing is Infest. I'll keep the $30. hah I was just looking at the lineup for soundstage thinking 'lolwut' |
| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 5:34pm - Spence ""] Tragedy and Vitamin X would both be fucking awesome to see, but the extra thirty bucks is just... eh. Also, I just noticed Converge was on the lineup. I lol'd. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 15,2012 5:53pm - Lamp ""] Soundstage for me, Hellshock, Iron Lung, Sete Star Sept, and Vitamin X should all be rad. Even though I'm not into Infest reuniting, I would have no choice but to check them out. D.O.C. would probably be fun too as well as some other bands I don't know. They should swap Rotten Sound for Gride at those stages though. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 6:16pm - LucidCurse ""] Iron Lung was great a few years ago at the pre-fest. idk though im going to try and avoid that stage all together |
| ______________________________ [Oct 15,2012 6:25pm - Lamp ""] I'm glad they made it a no barrier stage. Iron Lung is always great live, but as far as wanting to avoid that stage, I can't blame anyone too much. There are some horrible fucking bands playing it. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 8:18pm - trioxin245 ""] There are definitely a few gems on the soundstage like Hellshokc. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 8:22pm - Spence ""] "Due to the limited amount of tickets available for Soundstage (1,000/day between all ticket options), and the fact that we've had an enormous amount of tickets orders come in today, the 4-day pass that covers all bands at both venues will likely be sold out sometime this evening. We knew they'd sell fast, but we didn't expect them to last only 1 day. In fairness to those that want to see only specific bands at Soundstage, several hundred single day tickets for each day there will go on sale before the end of the month for $20/day. Thursday only tickets and the 4-day pass for the former Sonar should last at least a week or two, but we don't know for sure. We'll flick on the warning siren when the time comes." Posted one minute ago. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2012 10:42pm - KEVORD ""] Wow, Four day passes might sell out in a week or two. Glad I bought mine today. Get on that ya cheap bastards. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 16,2012 12:06am - demondave ""] I got the Four day pass. I might get the additional soundstage one, but I would like to know the daily lineups first. I love hellshock, but I'm not going to skip Carcass to see them.... |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 16,2012 10:08am - aaronthed ""] i'm a sucker and bought the 4 day and the 3 day soundstage and I already regret it i know they're gonna pull some bullshit like putting infest on at the same time as manilla road or something uuugh |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 9:32pm - demondave ""] Four day passes are now sold out, but you can get a 3day pass and an individual ticket for Thursday if you jump on it now. Any Bolt Thrower fans have to shit or get off the pot. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 9:46pm - KEVORD ""] I can't believe it sold out in two days. Glad I bought mine. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 9:50pm - demondave ""] yeah, I just found out because I was getting my buddy tickets. I got the 4 day Monday. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 18,2012 8:25am - AndrewBastard ""] FML. I guess I'll buy the 3 day on friday when I get paid. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 18,2012 8:41am - trioxin245 ""] AndrewBastard said:FML. I guess I'll buy the 3 day on friday once I clear it with Bobby. |
