New England Metal and Hardcore Festival Adds Third Stage

The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival will introduce an additional stage this year dedicated to up and coming bands.

The third stage, sponsored by Deathcote Records, will be located at Chasers Nightclub, located behind the Palladium on the corner of Martin Luther King and Commercial streets.  The main festival will be taking place at the Palladium.

“There are so many great bands and not enough time to get all of them on during the course of two days,” said festival co-organizer Sott Lee.  “Adding a third stage is a great way for us to showcase some of the developing bands and it’s a terrific opportunity for these bands to play alongside some of today’s top metal and hardcore bands.”

    This fest is a joke.

    What’s the point of adding a stage for bands no one wants to see?

    First of all, “Sott Lee”. How disrespectful to the might SCOTT LEE.

    I wonder how much Stefan Maxx had to shell out of his own pocket for his joke of a label to “sponsor” this third stage. It’s really kind of pathetic that he did this, since anyone who knows about this guy, knows he had to do this kind of thing in order to get Brother Von Doom on the show. Ahahaahh.

    there is some serious talent in the western mass area… Dead Man’s Dossier, Wrenchneck, Metachromatic, There Was Change…. but frankly, Half-hearted comeback blows
