Maryland Deathfest, how many years have I been writing about you now? Facts say "four" but it feels like a lot longer. Every year, there is at least one must-see band -- bands I have never seen before, and may never see again, or bands that put on such a good show, you just have to see them. This year was a banner crop, with Bolt Thrower, Cobalt,

Superb account. I am so envious right now I'm bitterly drinking and farting the night away.

I reckon the security guards should've converged on that Nazi cunt and dropped him off the Baltimore Bridge (...there's a bridge in Baltimore, right?)

I have no hope that the lineup will be as awesome next year (I mean, fuck, this was MY YEAR. Bolt Thrower, Manilla Road, Pagan Altar, Abigail, VENOM....crap. ANother fart for disappointment. YEah, I might be a bit pished right now) but I'll definitely try to make it anyway. Paydays shall also be "stash some away" days. At the very least, meeting the crew is a fucking must.

Right there with ya. I spent the weekend drifting in and out of consciousness (I swear anxiety 'hangovers' are a thing) and grinning at pictures of cute friends going hogwild.

It really stinks that you couldn't go, dude. Fuck illness. :(

We missed you, B.

It was your year, man. But maybe next year will be...Angel Witch? So many of the bands from that era are experiencing a resurgence. Hell, maybe the organizers can convince Manilla Road to come back. It's not like an hour set can even remotely cover their back catalog.
