MDF VII

it's called Maryland DEATHfest for a reason - it's supposed to be a death metal festival. Yes, they added some other genres this year, but the primary focus is death metal.
Actually, other than the first year, it's never really been a primarily "death metal" festival. It's always been about booking the best bands in underground/extreme music. I realize most of you are only into the (relatively) mainstream side of metal, so you aren't able to tell the difference/haven't heard most of the bands, but they also book grindcore, goregrind, powerviolence, crust, d-beat, hardcore, black metal, thrash, experimental, etc. bands. It's easily the most diverse underground metal festival in the US.
 
Among the worst fans of metal. Biggest faggots at shows next to Thrashfags in jean jackets and the folkmetal fags screaming out GREAT ODINS BEARD and drinking from horns. Even if it's not a folk metal show. :Smug:

Fuck you, I am that folkmetal fag :lol:
I never saw one person in warpaint in any Toronto show, before I did at Moonsorrow, and I stick by that. Although Bryan later told me "You were there? I saw some guys in warpaint they looked like idiots."

I was the Thashfag when I was 16 too!

Yeah, but it's called Maryland DEATHfest for a reason - it's supposed to be a death metal festival. Yes, they added some other genres this year, but the primary focus is death metal. It may look like a quantity over quality show, but for death metal fans, it's got a lot of quality.

Yeah, that's my point. For Death Metal fans, it has a lot of quality, but for Death Metal fans only. The adding in of other genres is because of the obvious lack of interest. It seems like a massive waste of energy to me. A full on metal fest is what MANY of us have been wanting for a long time. Although I do like Death Metal, its probably my least liked genre of all metal. It just gets sooooo boring. I know its all about opinion, but had this fest been more than just Death metal, it would actually be fucking huge.
 
grindcore, goregrind, powerviolence, crust, d-beat

That sounds like the most retarded shit I've ever heard of. Seriously what the fuck. I hate subgenres in general, the complicated names are fucking stupid and unecessary, metal can be classified by either harsh or clean vocals, and if you need to you can usually split it into Thrash, Power, Death, Black, Prog/Avante-Garde, Folk and Melodic metal... most bands fall into that, maybe I missed a few.

Crusty-powerpunkgorecorepowergrind is fucking ridiculous.
 
You can make some badass fucking shelves from MDF, badass as fuck.

My point exactly :lol:!

Heavy MTL in Montreal is shaping up to be the NA huge metal festival, at least I hope so can't wait for the line-up this year.
