About Deathfests
The concept of Deathfests is simple: to bring to the world the best and most extreme bands the underground has to offer. Never conforming to trends, or being limited by genre restrictions, we want to showcase what extreme music, both new and old, is capable of. With an emphasis on diversity, our festivals brings together the very best death metal, grindcore, doom, thrash, hardcore, black metal, and experimental bands from all around the world. Since 2015, we've expanded, adding festivals in California, the Netherlands, and Quebec, along with an additional event in Baltimore, called Days of Darkness.
Since the inception of Maryland Deathfest in 2003, festival organizers Ryan and Evan have continued to strive to bring together some of the most legendary bands in the scene and some of the most talked about up-and-coming bands in the underground for unparalleled event experiences. We've taken our knowledge and experience from running one of the most successful metal festivals in North America and are bringing events to metal-loving audiences around the globe.
