Further notes from MDF that appeared on Facebook later in the day after the final line-up was posted:
“As mentioned previously, accidentally left off of the list posted earlier is Massgrav (Sweden), who will be playing at Soundstage.
“We’d also like to make it clear that the Ascension playing is the black metal band, the Necropsy playing is the local band from Baltimore and NOT the Finnish band, and the Infest playing is NOT from Poland. As always, if there is no country of origin listed next to the band, you can assume they are from the US.
“Next Monday [Oct 15], multi-day passes and Thursday only tickets will be available to purchase at 12 pm (ET). There will be multi-day pass options that cover only bands playing at the former Sonar, and there will also be an option that covers all bands on all days at both venues. As mentioned previously, Soundstage will only be in use from Friday-Sunday.
“We will announce who is playing the Thursday show on the 15th when tickets go on sale. We will have a list of bands for the other days complete before the end of October, which is when single day tickets for those days will go on sale.
MDF XI
May 23-26, 2013”

Road trip?
Driving directions from Seattle are very simple: Get on I-90. Drive east for 2,764 miles. Arrive at destination.
If you’re lucky they’ll have perfected these things called “airplanes” by then, that might be able to help your journey.
Yeah, right. Like I’m getting on one of these.

Deiphago, Evoken and Ascension (the black metal one if anyones wondering) are all awesome..Cobalts okay…not really impressed with the rest. Still looks like an awesome lineup overall (and Ilsa’s always cool)
I’ll be there. this lineup is amazing.
Hey wait…does this mean that the dudes in Cobalt will be playing together for the first time in, like, ever? By blind luck I happened to meet Erik Wunder. He works in a bar in Brooklyn called Lucky 13, a very bitchin place with a fucked up jukebox and GoGo dancers who grind to death metal. I had no Idea who he actually was until we started talking about music. Anyways, he told me that Sergeant McSorley was on the trail and pretty much decided he was gonna be a lifer. He said he wasn’t sure when they might be making music together again. This is already a motherfucker of a lineup, but that just might be enough incentive for me to finally experience an MDF, provided The Man lets me take some time off.
Cool that you got to chew the fat with Erik Wunder. It sure looks like Cobalt will be together to do this. Not sure how the Sergeant is making it happen. Also, I just saw that Erik’s other band, Man’s Gin, have finished recording their next album (due for release in November) and that Cobalt is working on their next one. Might be some new Cobalt music by MDF time.
Infest!!!!!??????? As in the Where’s the fuckin’ Unitttttyyyyyy!!!!!!!??????? Infest? The hardcore/powervio-lence Infest.?!
The very same. See this:

I will not begin passing around a cup to collect donations.
The money will go to a little, armless, blind girl suffering from cancer of the imaginary glands. All of it. 100%. I promise that none of it will go to buying Phro a plane ticket to Maryland. Pffff! Who’d wanna go to Maryland anyway? Too damn many Maries.
*I will NOW begin…
My aunt had imaginary gland cancer asshole, you’re a real prick for making a joke about it
You know only people who eat kitten’s faces while the kittens are still alive get imaginary gland cancer, right?
YOUR AUNT EATS LIVE KITTEN FACES!!!
That’s very strong language to use about an aunt, especially one with imaginary gland cancer. I don’t know how you live with yourself.
Mostly by not eating kitten faces.
You know, it’s not that hard to figure out if you do your research.
I have.
Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Exodus (and on a good day, Carpathian Forest) are enough to get me to travel across the world to check out a metal fest…let alone just hopping my across the Canadian border to trip down to Maryland. This is great news indeed. Let’s just hope I can get my passport in time.
