It’ll be April before we know it, and that means the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival line-up is coming together. With headliners like Testament, Between The Buried and Me, and Motionless In White already announced, we’re stoked to bring you the news of the third wave of bands that will round out this year’s already impressive line-up! When we spoke to Mass Concerts’ Scott Lee earlier this week, he said there were still bands being added, and now bands including I Declare War, Fit For An Autopsy, and Vital Remains have been added.

Said Lee on this third wave of bands:

“I’m very excited to add some New England flavor to the festival lineup this week with Vital Remains, and On Broken Wings. These two types of bands are the reason this festival was created in an effort to combine metal and hardcore together. I’m also excited to have I Declare War, and Lionheart join the festival lineup. Don’t forget, there is still more to come!”

This is the 17th year for the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, taking place as usual at the Palladium in Worcester, MA on April 17th, 18th, & 19th, 2015.  The festival already includes bands like The Red Chord, Exodus, Nails, Nuclear Assault, Overcast,  Rotting Out, and Incendiary, with even more to be announced. Don’t wait, go get your tickets here.
