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.
Skullshiter fuck yea
Wow!!! That’s insanely awesome 🙂
What a lineup indeed! Will not be in attendance this time unfortunately 🙁
