Hitting the halfway point of Maryland Deathfest is usually a milestone that no one really notices and those who do will actually not speak of it. No one wants to think the weekend is going to end nor that the end is already halfway here. Instead, hangovers are nursed, more questionable food is consumed, and everyone marches back to Rams Head Live and Baltimore Soundstage for another day of partying. Fortunately for myself and my party of friends, we know how to party but dodge the hangovers. So, we made sure to be on time for Soundstage opening up with the first band playing slightly before four in the afternoon. That included polishing off a bottle of vodka left behind by the previous renters of the Air BnB. Thank you to those unnamed heroes! Continue reading

Maryland Deathfest 2017: Part I – Baltimore Maryland
Memorial Day weekend in the United States is a time to remember our veterans who have served in the country’s military and most will commemorate such an occasion with cookouts. In Baltimore, Maryland, the partying starts a few days before the weekend but the celebration is about extreme music. This weekend is known to the fans as simply, MDF, or in full, Maryland Deathfest. Doom metal, black metal, grindcore, punk, and of course, death metal, take over multiple venues in the Inner Harbor area of the city all weekend long as the streets run black with hideous, graphic band t-shirts. For me, this is my sophomore year of the festival and could not be more excited to return.Continue reading

On The Road… with Retox and Whores
Retox is on the road touring behind their just released killer album Beneath California (Three. One. G Records), destroying stages in droves and playing to their rabid fans in sweaty packed clubs. Teaming up with the manic noise psychos in Whores, this has surely been one of the best bills of the early year so far. On a recent stop in Cambridge MA, the band played The Middle East Nightclub. On this night they were joined by I Am Become Death and Fucking Invincible (not pictured) as well. Special thanks to Meg Loyal of Meg Loyal Photography for this photo set from the tour.
