USA metal fest circuit

[Datis]

I saw that on the REGGIES site, but no bands yet are listed as confirmed.

The problem with shows like that in Chicago is that whoever puts that on does a piss poor job of advertising, as I am in Chicago, and never even knew there was one last year.

Jasonic - On Thursday, June 16th, as part of our Pre-Fest Metal Party in two different cities in the Midwest, The Nite Cap Lounge in Chicago will feature Sacred Dawn, Aura Azul (Puerto Rico), Machinage (Brazil) and Degradation.

The other show is in Fort Wayne, Indiana hosted by ARGONAUT (most of the former Zephaniah crew) and that one features Spellcaster(Portland, OR), Vanlade (Kansas City, KS) and Split Heaven (Mexico).

Aye, Warriors of Metal looks utterly deadly. Dantesco? Fuck yes. Really temped to catch that one if I could convince some friends.

Cheers for the kind words Element Man. But even if you can't find some more True metalheads to come with you (which I'd find hard to believe), you should totally come to the Fest anyway, all by your lonesome if ya have to. You don't wanna miss all the other great bands other than DANTESCO, believe me!

Oh yeah, and we'll also have the first ever WOM Fest Bar-B-Q challenge as the bass player for the Brazilian Thrash Metal band (Machinage) has promised to make us Brazilian Bar-B-Q and he has welcomed the challenge from the girlfriend of the bass player of last year's bands (Beyond Fallen & Forgotten Legacy's Chuck Donahue) to go head to head with her own receipe of barbecue ribs from Northeastern Pennsylvania! Who will win? EVERYBODY, lol! So nobody should miss this !!!

Great Thread !

The Warriors of Metalfest always have great line ups. I am lucky since Spellcaster and Split Heaven are playing Reggies the monday after.

Yeah that lineup is awesome.

Split Heaven and Dantesco are sweet. And I totally did Vindicator!

I really hope this years fest gets some more attention than previous years, I really would like to see it succeed. So many people and fests, promoters, etc loosely use the terms "true metal", "traditional metal" etc but I think WOM is the only festival that actually is a really true metal festival. No horrible death and black metal or pertinacious proggy power metal, just pure heavy fuckin metal

Ok well I can think of two other "fests" but they seem pretty non existent.

Hey Everybody
