There are plenty of good bands playing at MDF, I was ready to buy my ticket before the Melvins were announced. Even though I'm a Melvins fan, I'm actually not that excited that they, and Down also, are playing. I would much rather see other black/death bands at this type of festival. I've listed out the best bands playing below, anyone going to the fest should try to catch as many of these bands as possible. Especially Cruciamentum, since they've announced they're breaking up after their last few dates:
Antaeus
Aosoth
Bolt Thrower
Revenge
Kommandant
Convulse
Ascension
Cruciamentum
Evoken
Loss
Midnight
Speedwolf
Anhedonist
Deiphago
I will also probably check out these bands if I'm not doing anything else:
Carcass
Carpathian Forest
Abigail
Antaeus
Aosoth
Bolt Thrower
Revenge
Kommandant
Convulse
Ascension
Cruciamentum
Evoken
Loss
Midnight
Speedwolf
Anhedonist
