Ever walked into a nearly pitch-black room after roasting on sun-beaten asphalt, only to sweat it out with a host of the moshing unwashed? No? But what if candles were involved — would that make it classier?
Watch experimental U.K. doom-metal band Dragged Into Sunlight’s skin-crawling, multi-sensory set from Maryland Deathfest: The Movie III.
Boil dem angels.
- Billy: Mom, where is my Mortuary Drape shirt?
- Mom: You mean the one with the impaled virgin surrounded by baby Baphomets?
- Billy: No, the one where the drummer's wearing a boss purple robe and holding a Yankee Candle.
- Mom: Oh, it smelled like rectal vomit and something only your father knows about.
- Billy: Moooooom, I wanted to wear it for Deathfest. I bought it off some fat dude on the NWN board for $50!
- Mom: Don't be that guy, Billy, wearing the band's t-shirt to their show.
Prepare for metal mecca: Maryland Deathfest starts this Thursday in Baltimore. All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen invited a couple of metalheads (including yours truly!) to preview “America’s Biggest Metal Party.”
I’m in this thing.
Happy holidays, heshers! Download concerts from Exhumed, Pulling Teeth, Hooded Menace, Dropdead and Oak from Maryland Deathfest right here. And don’t miss out on metal warrior and scribe Kim Kelly’s killer interviews with Hail of Bullets and Funebrarum.
