iwrestledafaggotonce
Yes..Friday FTW
Anybody notice Withered are listed for Friday and Saturday
id be happy to see withered twice, but thats prob a typo or something. its kinda weird that ATR is headling a day that has suffocaiton/kataklysm/ napalm death/ cattle deacpition.
this is the same weekend as gratefull dead at dcu, its gonna be a bitch for parking and hotels…..
Shit, why even bother? The good bands playing Friday have their own tours going on, too much shit to sift through.
get’s shittier every year
Wow this looks freaking terrible so far.
If August Burns Red is really headlining over Suffocation it will give me more reason to not like them.
All That Remains? Seriously?
This fest is a pile of shit.
All the decent bands have their own tours going on, so fuck this fest in its tasteless ass.
New England Metal Fest > MDF
dude no way, MDF is def better then new england metalfest, at least this year….
As The Tears Burn To Ashes sounds like a fucking kid that would rather see Winds Of Plague than Bolt Thrower. What a shame…
WoP SO FUCKING GOOD
Whats bolt thrower ??
Metalheads are notoriously easy to troll
notice how friday has a bunch of the bands that are on the carcass tour… and that this falls around the time of the carcass tour…
Suffocation, White Chapel, Veil of Maya, Decrepit Birth, Pyscroptic
hmm interesting about carcass….. id love to see them at the palladium again
this fest gets more pathetic and effortless every single year.
I would think that if Carcass were playing they would be the headliner and not All That Remains. All That Remains as headliner……LOL.
from the looks of it ont he palaldium site, the fisrt day dosent have a set headliner al the abnds are in alphabetical order. so carcass could very well headline it this year
^ sorry about my spelling^
dude its not alphbetical order, look at it all the way. ATR is listed on the headliner
All That Remains fucking sucks.
i will kill all of you
ugh, mostly metalcore garbage…
