Maryland Death Fest 2015 MDF XIII 5/21/2015-5/24/2015[views:18903][posts:58]______________________________________ [Jun 5,2014 11:03am - the_reverend ""] We will return next year, ladies and gents. Mark the dates on your calendar. MDF XIII May 21-24, 2015 We are resting our minds this month, but things will fire up again in July. First round of bands, venue details, and details about an early bird ticket sale will all be revealed before August 1st. Did you miss out on getting the MDF T-shirt or hoodie that you wanted at the fest this year? Due to high demand for these items, we will be reprinting a limited run of all designs for mail order. It is likely that merch will be available on our website this weekend. We'll post an update here when it's possible to order |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 5,2014 11:40am - Alx_Casket ""] Give us the insider info, lineup and set times rev! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 5,2014 1:53pm - spence ""] Can I get a ride to this? |
| _______________________________ [Jun 5,2014 3:28pm - Burnsy ""] Deafheaven is headlining every night because they are the gods of USBM. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 15,2014 12:19pm - Alx_Casket ""] As promised, here is the first round of confirmed bands for MDF XIII! * = exclusive US appearance May 21-24, 2015 Aeternus (Norway) * Arcturus (Norway) * Aura Noir (Norway) * Bulldozer (Italy) * Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult (Germany) Demoncy Dragged into Sunlight (UK) D.R.I. Einherjer (Norway) * Funebrarum Goatsnake Impetuous Ritual (Australia) * Lock Up * Lycanthrophy (Czech Republic) Master Melt-Banana (Japan) Metal Church Noisear Neurosis Portal (Australia) * Serpentine Path Skepticism (Finland) * Splatterhouse Suffering Mind (Poland) Triptykon (Switzerland) * Tsjuder (Norway) * Twilight of the Gods * Ufomammut (Italy) Vallenfyre (UK) * Vulcano (Brazil) * Winter Wolfbrigade (Sweden) * VENUES FOR NEXT YEAR: We were satisfied with the venue situation this year, so we've decided to use the same set up again next year. What does this mean? We will use the Edison Lot (located at 545 N. High St) for our 2 main stages, Rams Head (located at 20 Market Pl) will be used each night and will host death/black metal bands, and Soundstage (located at 124 Market Pl) will be used each day/night for grind/hardcore/punk bands. On Thursday, only Rams Head will be used. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE EARLY BIRD TICKET SALE: We are postponing this sale until Saturday, July 19th at 3 PM (EST). As you probably know, the early bird sale was set for today at 3 PM (EST). However, due to a very drawn out process to approve our ability to accept payments through the new ticketing system (which was just approved this morning), our web team has not had time to test the system. We apologize if you've planned your entire day around this sale, but we would prefer to allow time for the web team to make sure that this new system works, rather than have you deal with problems when you try to order. |

| ________________________________________ [May 18,2015 10:45pm - boblovesmusic ""] nvermind figured it out |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2015 1:54pm - Alx_Casket ""] For anyone attending the Wed night show, Disma was replaced by Funebrarum |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2015 1:56pm - Alx_Casket ""] And Sodom got knocked off too. The government approved the visa petition for SODOM, but then failed to send the required documents that would have allowed the band to actually get their visas despite repeated attempts by the MDF and the band to get those documents. The parties have been unable to get any answer from the government as to why the documents were never received by MDF or the band. The band is incredibly frustrated by this and so are we. We take a lot of pride in doing everything in our power to get foreign bands to the states, but it's really hard for us to swallow when the incompetence of the U.S. government messes this up. SOLSTICE will be playing instead of Sodom. This will change the schedule for that stage slightly and we'll update the website with these changes this evening. |
| ______________________________________ [May 19,2015 3:29pm - the_reverend ""] I wish I could find where I said "I can't wait to see who they replace sodom with" when they announced sodom. |
| _______________________________ [May 19,2015 3:34pm - hlrie ""] Here is the google doc I made for this year alx https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b1UNFRGkmDw9HSxY3nOoKXFO0vXZ_4Svqx_rRhJpWwQ/edit#gid=1 |

| ___________________________________________ [May 19,2015 4:55pm - anonymous beaver ""] Must enter at back entrance? |
| _______________________________ [May 19,2015 5:54pm - hlrie ""] Based on last year having to enter either on the front or back of Ram's Head specifically. No idea if it's still the case. I do understand there is a joke there. Don't care. |
