The New England Metal and Hardcore Fest has been going strong for 18 years now, and their 19th year is adding to the already-impressive lineup that they’ve already got. Taking place on April 21st and 22nd in Worcester, MA, much the same as in previous years, they’ve divided the days pretty equally by genre. Friday appears to be the more traditional of the days, with Testament, Sepultura and Prong headlining. The 22nd is more power/prog metal, with Sabaton, Katatonia and Hammerfall among those on the bill.
The Fest has just added another eight bands, with Harm’s Way, Cruel Hand, Traitors, Currents, Face Your Maker, I AM, Cryptodira, and Angel Vivaldi being added. More bands will be added in the coming weeks as well. Here’s where you can get tickets, and this is the lineup as of now:
