The fest will feature forty-one bands across three stages during the three nights. Thursday performers will include North Dakota’s Ghost Bath and Canada’s Numenorean, who are on tour together, as well as German duo Mantar (on an off day from their fall tour with Cobalt). Friday will feature Brooklyn’s Tombs and a very special reunion of Philadelphian two-piece Sadgiqacea, plus an appearance by Mongolian folk metal band Tengger Cavalry, who are also in the midst of a U.S. tour. One of Saturday’s highlights will be Faith in Jane featuring the legendary Scott “Wino” Weinrich, as well as a handful of bands from local Maryland label Grimoire Records, who are one of the festival’s partners and co-producers.
