FESTIVAL REVIEW: Maryland Deathfest XIX Part 1 Various Venues
What a difference a day makes, revenge of the new day…
Today was a bumpy day for us festival attendees: it was over 90 degrees, which really impacted a lot of people, particularly with the addition of the second outdoor stage; and a new security checkpoint was put in place toward two of the more popular stages, and we were all pat down every time we went through it, meaning that running back and forth to catch bands could take an extra ten minutes or so.
