Maryland Deathfest

Well, I think, you know, I'm probably the best moment was I met my heroes, like, you know, Kronos from Venom, Mantis, and Abaddon.

And I met Tom G. Warrior from Chaotic Frost last year at Marianne's Death Fest.

And, you know, and also I got, and I became friends with Voivod, Guide Senior, because those people were my heroes when I was a teenager.

So that kind of thing is, you know, the best experience, you know, through our,

...

the Maryland Deathfest, I think.

Oh, wow.

So, so Hellbutcher and his band, which is, like, old-school speed black metal, they, they actually went to the States.

They're fucking awesome.

When Extortion played Maryland Deathfest, me and Milky went and watched them play.

We got up in this special area that the bands could get up to and we were in like a, we were on like a mezzanine level that was directly above the stage, and the drummer is just this fucking psycho drummer.

And me and Milky just stood there and like looked down watching, like-

Whatever this is, it's close to home.

What's left on the calendar is Quebec City in January and Maryland Deathfest in May.

43 years in, and the only thing that's ever stopped Voivod is family.

That's exactly as it should be.

So anyway, one of the things that is happening is he's trying to talk Northwest Terrorfest into getting Weft to play next year.

And as I will say, I ran into the guy from Northwest Terrorfest at Maryland Death Fest, and I told him if he gets Weft to play, I'll come back to Northwest Terrorfest, which I might have overstated how likely that is we'll see but i don't know if i can do this again because we'll continue with like the rest of my adventures yeah i looked it up his name is

charlie charlie anderson yeah

charlie anderson's

know.

But, yeah.

all right so um from seattle washington to baltimore maryland the world's premier extreme metal festival maryland death fest shit fucks i've been there a couple times not often enough but um y'all were there all of you right uh right yeah yeah i know it's like everybody went And it rained a lot.

It rained.

When

they played Maryland Death Fest the year before last, he even had, I think it was his daughter on stage playing, and she's a young kid, a young girl.

Wow.

10 years old with coarse paint and playing instruments so his wife plays in the band like they're pretty fucking badass but when they use it for a purpose it's cool and it's just like hey let's try to look like abbott from immortal it's like it's been done i'm also sick of this i'm also sick of this anonymous masked bullshit too i'm so tired of it now

They're very extreme death metal.

They do Maryland Death Fest.

And then

Devil's Radio was more...

Okay.

So, like, um, uh, for us, like, right, like Maryland Deathfest, that's one of the biggest metal festivals in the US, honestly.

They're right down the street here and everything.

So, um, shout out to them.

So it is kind of a tragic story of like a band who honestly dropped their best album as their last and then unfortunately stopped playing after that.

So I personally, I got super lucky.

Um, I, I know we talked about this before, but like Maryland Deathfest, shout out, awesome metal festival.

Um, they did do a show.

Still nothing in the U.S. yet.

I was lucky enough to catch them at Maryland Death Fest in 2013, I think it was.

So hopefully that they make another swing here in the U.S. for at least Maryland Death Fest, if nothing else.

But I believe Avant-Garde is redoing Welcome My Last Chapter.

I think that's up for pre-order right now.
