  1. I was almost gonna forgive myself for passing it up this year. Then this happened, and everything must be reconsidered. Shit.

  2. Looks like most of the Soundstage bands got announced with this round

    That being said, going to be a great year for Swedish Death metal….

    Hoping to catch:

    Centinex
    Demonical
    Demonic Christ
    Discharge
    DOOM
    Dragged into Sunlight
    Hellbringer
    Horrendous
    Interment
    Novembers Doom
    Nuclear Assault
    Paradise Lost
    Repulsion
    Satan
    Secrets of the Moon
    Testament
    Wombbath

    • You said it — a great year for Swedish death, which really hits my sweet spot. But some other fine nastiness in the list too. Very cool to see DOOM, Discharge, Magrudergrind, Ringworm, and Rotten Sound coming to Soundstage.

      And I’m also very happy to see Crypt Sermon, Dragged Into Sunlight, Paradise Lost, Secrets of the Moon, and Testament on today’s list.

    • I agree with most of your list – maybe I’m getting more curmudgeonly as I exit my teenage years. But for real I need to figure out somewhere to crash in Baltimore, ’cause that’s the only thing stopping me now.

  3. Skullshiter fuck yea

  4. Wow!!! That’s insanely awesome 🙂

  5. What a lineup indeed! Will not be in attendance this time unfortunately 🙁
