Maryland Deathfest

Maryland Deathfest takes place in Baltimore, Maryland, typically over Memorial Day weekend. Founded in 2003 by Ryan Taylor and Evan Harting, it is devoted to extreme metal in all its forms (death, black, grindcore, doom), bringing together bands from around the world across several stages and days, many of them making their US debut. It has established itself as one of North America's premier underground extreme metal gatherings.
