The 16th edition of Maryland Deathfest will take place in Baltimore on May 24-27, 2018. In June, MDFannounced the first round of confirmed bands for the festival. A few hours ago the organizers announced a further list of 19 bands to join that first group of 25:
Cognizant
Cripple Bastards (Italy)
Defeated Sanity (Germany)
Dusk
Gateway to Hell
Gonkulator
Helmet
Horrible Earth
Integrity
Khemmis
Master’s Hammer (Czech Republic)
Pessimist
Petrification
Pure Hiss
Pig Destroyer
The Ruins of Beverast (Germany)
Suffering Hour
Today is the Day (Temple of the Morning Star set)
Violation Wound
The first list of bands from June got my heart palpitating, and this new group repeats the experience. And the roll-out of bands isn’t near finished. More bands, including two more headliners, will be announced soon. Whenever I see that, I’m sure I’ll spit out another one of these updates.
Four-day passes are on sale now at this location:

Dusk, Ruins of Beverast, Master’s Hammer, and Suffering Hour all have me very happy right now
Same here. I’m also always happy for another chance to see Pig Destroyer and to watch Bryan Fajardo behind the kit (playing with Cognizant this time), and after all these years I’ll finally get to see Integrity and Helmet. Pretty eager for Defeated Sanity too.
I think Defeated Sanity was originally supposed to be on the recent U.S. Gorguts tour, and I was disappointed that they dropped off (although the show was well worth attending anyway, of course). So I’m also happy to see they will be at MDF, if all goes well.
Yes..definitely want to catch Integrity as well. Hopefully that won’t run up against something in the Rams Head that I’m looking forward to seeing
So … no more black metal at MDF? Either way, this is shaping up to be a very strong line-up.
Fingers crossed that the next announcement will include a lot more black metal.
Thirded…there wasn’t nearly enough last year (though what they had was mostly quality), and this year is really lacking
*and so far this coming year is really lacking
Wolves in the Throne Room PLEASE! I’ve never been but I’m trying my best to plan to be there for 2018. I haven’t seen Helmet since the first tour and Integrity is a must see! Fingers crossed that I’ll make it for 2018
Hoooooly shit Master’s Hammer and Ruins of Beverast? That alone is worth going for
