So, you're at Maryland Deathfest 2012, and only have time to catch one act. Strangely, they're all on stage at once. Gun to my head, I think I have to go with Coke Bust. Morbid Angel Electric Wizard Napalm Death Dying Fetus Suffocation Agalloch Eyehategod Anvil Godflesh Unsane Yob Autopsy Brujeria Nasum Artillery Rwake Church Of Misery Today Is the Day Negura Bunget Castevet Tsjuder Ghoul Nausea Macabre The Devils Blood Cough Ulcerate Winter Horna Sargeist Saint Vitus Dodheimsgard Black Witchery Morgoth Archgoat Unanimated Rorschach Bethlehem Haemorrhage Demigod Desaster Coke Bust Disma Dragged Into Sunlight Confessor Hellbastard Deviated Instinct Morgion Demonical Looking For An Answer Interment Nashgul The Day Everything Became Nothing Noothgrush Agents Of Abhorrence Bloody Phoenix October 31 Infernal Stronghold Die Pigeon Die Needful Things Backslider Extermination Angel T.D.E.B.N

Yeah, but only if Coke Bust plays their old stuff. For me the most pleasant form of death has to be Haemorrhage. They know how to make a guy suffer.

A double bill of Cough and Ulcerate has a touch of marketing genius, I think.

Napalm Death and Morbid Angel - actually used to listen to them and sport their shirts in my youth back in Tipperary....

Edgy MD Mar 12 2012 07:54 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

Extermination Angel, on the other hand, was too studied by half.

sample lyrics from Napalm Death From Enslavement To Obliteration" Commited to a life of slavery In the factories our own hands have built Where we must work twice the graft Before gaining the goods we've already slogged to create To consume all things material Stands above human compassion As we compete with our fellow man In the bid for a stronger position In our ruthless search for prosperity We become the tools of our own oppression Forming the backbone of a society That thrives on mass division From enslavement To obliteration. then the magnum opus of Multinational Corporations Multinational Corporations Genocide of the starving nations there are five speed riff breaks in there IIRC...ten very short solos ...and a lot of grunting

Seriously? You'd pass up Extermination Angel? I covered one of these once in Flint, on a much smaller scale, of course. Lots of black clothes, lots of leather, lots of suburban kids hoping to piss off their parents. Lots of growling. I don't think I could figure out a single lyric.

metirish Mar 12 2012 08:22 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

I'd go but am disappointed that The Great Kat is not on the bill

Edgy MD Mar 12 2012 08:23 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

Extermination Angel, quite the constipated bunch.

metirish Mar 12 2012 08:26 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

Singer looks like Jim Bruer doing a skit meanwhile, wasn't there always one guy in the band that couldn't grow his hair long? In Napalm Death's case I believe that is the singer in the pic

Edgy MD Mar 12 2012 08:26 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

My brother-in-law's 90s band, Mischief.

Rwake promises death to all farm animals

intersting tidbits about Napalm Death from their debut album Scum, recorded for 50 pounds The song "You Suffer" was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's shortest song; the track is precisely 1.316 seconds long. the magnum opus I quoted above clocks in at 1:06 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scum_(Napalm_Death_album)

Edgy MD Mar 12 2012 08:39 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

What I know about death METALLLL! could fill a very thin book, but this strikes me as pretty impressive lineup, like three generations of bloody vicious death and discharge, with long-since-decomposed bands reintegrating their dismembered remains and reanimating their corpses just for this very special festival. In the land of Mary.

metirish Mar 12 2012 08:45 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

Yeah, it's the kind of lineup that you would associate with Finland and not Maryland.

Edgy MD Mar 12 2012 08:57 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

The Day Everything Became Nothing T.D.E.B.N. I'm going to guess the latter is composed of discharged members of the former, and they are PISSED that their ex-bandmates retain the rights to the name. All income from both bands has been consumed by lawsuits over the rights to the name and associated trademarks, and this festival will feature a massive on-stage throwdown between the splintered remains of the once great deathly syndicate. I forsee a monumental rumble in the moshpit, warring over which posse of pain rightly deserves to claim the legacy of Nothing, to bring the standard of oblivion forward for a new misbegotten generation. It's really impossible to charge too much for this isn't it?

The only band I've heard of is Anvil because there's a movieabout them (that I haven't seen)

Fman99 Mar 12 2012 10:40 AM Re: Maryland Deathfest

I've always been a big Noothgrush guy. Most of these bands' lead singers sound like a hybrid of Satan, Cookie Monster and Dikembe Mutombo on a meth bender.

I'm going with Negura Bunget, extra spicy. Maybe some mango chutney to go with, if it's good. How's the chutney? Mets – Willets Point wrote: The only band I've heard of is Anvil because there's a movieabout them (that I haven't seen) This one's good.
