These bands are legendary thrash metal titans who never disappoint. 2015 is shaping up to be a great lineup and I couldn’t be more proud and excited.

so many terrible bands...

and that sums it up for me

Same fest every year fest

Will be around on Saturday. Incantation, Nuclear Assault's final ever New England show, and Testament playing their first two albums in entirety? Worth it, IMO.

So i'll hang around upstairs all day, then at 6:15 head downstairs for the rest of the night.

Friday has a few good bands, but no thanks.

Friday and Saturday were fun.
