come hell

I am 26 years old from New York. 2009 was my first MDF and I've been going ever since. I tend to do the 3 day pass, but this year I most certainly will have a 4 day pass. I'm happy for the most part the direction this fest has taken. I'm met pretty amazing people throughout the years. As far as music-viking metal is usually my favorite. I do listen to just about every other sub genre of metal. Impaled Nazarene has been my favorite live performance. Carcass, Anaal Nathrakh, Impaled, ATG, Ihsahn, Agalloch, Moonsorrow, Turisas, Tyr, SAMAEL, Wintersun, Sentenced, Marduk, Tsjuder, Ghoul, Ensiferum, Kataklysm, Daath, Asphyx, Darkane, Mastadon, Darkthrone, Scar Symmetry, SYL, Therion, Municipal Waste, Morbid Angel, Threat Signal, Runes of The Evening, and Arsis to name a few of my favorites.

Hello losers, my name is Mark

Hello losers, my name is Mark and my name was Smammered on the old Smn boards. I am a 30 year old and I lay my head down in South Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I work in a behavioral health program with a bunch of misunderstood kids and it makes me drink heavily after the day is over. I have attended the fest since 2011 and have not missed one since then! I am pretty eclectic in my music taste really and don't consider myself a pure metalhead. I like metal, punk, classic rock, underground hip hop, blues, etc. The bands I dig are: Kiss, Slayer, Discharge, Jedi Mind Tricks, Muddy Waters, Dropdead, Hank Williams, Suffocation, Rorschach, Electric Wizard, Hawkwind, Immortal Technique, Atomic Rooster, Noothgrush, Spazz, Morbid Saint, Killing Joke, 7 Seconds, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Johnny Cash, Disrupt, Cryptic Slaughter, Exciter, Siege, Urban Waste, YDI, Skinless, Alabama Thunderpussy, Reagan Youth, Neurosis, Assuck, Goblin, Cream, Merciless Death, Haemorrhage, Pisschrist, etc. I am also an avid old school gamer. I own Atari, NES, SNES, and Genesis. I need to find the rest of the older systems. I am big on horror films from.the 1930s classics to gore films. I dig craft beers and whiskey as well. Well that is about it, but hope to meet some of you in Baltimore!

Hey, my name is Glenn.  I

Hey, my name is Glenn.  I currently reside in York County, Pennsylvania.  I have lived in eastern Baltimore/Baltimore County (Canton, Highlandtown, Essex) for over 30 years.  Around 80% of the bands in my CD collection is on the wishlist.  I range from Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Venom, and Bathory to Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Immortal, Emperor, Inquisition.  I listen to all types of music, but metal is my first music choice. I can't really get into grindcore too much, a few bands here and there.  I also like industrial/aggrotech bands like Psyclon Nine, Dawn of Ashes, STG(Screaming to God), and Mortiis.  I have been to the first Maryland Deathfest when it was at the Thunderdome.  I only missed 3 years of the fest (2004?-2007?).  The main band that is on the list that I want to see so far next year is Taake.

Hey...I'm Jay...

Hey...I'm Jay...I enjoy hiking and long walks on the beach. Oh wait...wrong site, but seriously folks 2014 will mark my 5th MDF in 6 yrs. I first attended in 09 and missed out in 2012. I've also been to Roadburn in Holland (2011) and a shit ton of shows/venues up and down the east coast. I am 40 years old and currently residing in York, PA which is only an hour from Baltimore. When it comes to music I am pretty open minded but I prefer it heavy. I don't adhere to any one particular genre and that is exactly what I love about MDF...the variety. Highlights for me over the years have been Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Mayhem, Obituary, Venomous Concept, EyeHateGod, DRI and SLEEP...just to name a few. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Bongripper in 2014 and also drinking some beers and celebrating good music with good people. Cheers!

Re: Who are you?

Hello all,My name is James. 40 years old. Alexandria, VA. I tend to gravitate toward music that is technical in one way or another. Death, Grindcore, Black metal, and Thrash are my favorite styles. I'm new to the area, so I've never been to MDF before. I have a four day pass this year. VERY excited, especially for At The Gates, Taake and Bongripper. Favorite concerts that I've attended are: SLAYER!, Despised Icon, Necrophagist, Napalm Death, Cattle Decapitation, Mastodon, Dark Funeral and most recently, (the) Melvins. My favorite current band that I have not seen in concert is probably Skeletonwitch. Those guys are fucking awesome. The worst concert I've been to recently is the set by Five Finger Death Punch (or Five Finger Donkey Punch) at the Mayhem festival. What a load of shit. Anyway, that's about it.Stay metal, my friends.

Re: Who are you?

You will not be disappointed! Last year was my first MDF. So I treated myself to a 4-day pass. You saw Necrophagist live?! Damn, I'm jealous...

Re: Who are you?

From New Hampshire. Been going every year since 2010 for every day after i missed out on 08 and 09 due to lack of rides. Music i literally listen to all kinds, but yeah heavily into Metal and Punk and related subgenres. So far i'm not disappointed with any announced bands, and am starting to hope that MDF will book bands i don't care about soon so i'll have an excuse to take breaks each day. 2012 and 2013 were both tough to find some time to do shopping and get food haha!Outside of metal i guess travel, and writing are passions. Watching films pretty frequently these days. Collecting records (but realy, this is common in the metal scene these days) and being a couple years behind relevant pop culture.
