The Red Chord played last year. As long as the big bands are still amazing.

Plus: Birdflesh. Every year. :fap:

And I don't like Converge so don't make it about that...I'm just saying that there's nothing wrong with having some "bigger" bands who play a style of music that suits the festival. Hell, Obituary played last year, right? And Sodom are there this year? Those bands are known to just about everyone in metal, and I think there should be a good half dozen bands of their status ever year. I still wanna see all the smaller bands, of course, but there's no reason to kick the big kids out.

Yeah but Obituary and Sodom are actually good, and classic.

Behemoth
Vader
Dark Tranquillity
Skeletonwitch
Augury
Blackguard
Nile
Enfiserum
Goatwhore
Intronaut
The Absence
The Agonist
The Black Dahlia Murder
The Faceless
Celphalic Carnage
Aborted
Genghis Tron

...not so much. At all.
I like 4 of those bands, but they are not for MDF.

Oh, and my lineup had Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Beherit, Incantation, Destroyer 666 and Voivod so your half dozen big well known bands it's taken care of

Gotta admit, I know about 10% of the bands at MDF any given year, and that includes in these dream set lists. I'm going in 2012, but a lot of the thrill for me will be discovering new bands...I'm just not that well-versed in the most extreme of extreme metal.

I completely agree also on top of Converge this year D.R.I is playing they are pretty damn popular. I unsderstand that MDF is about underground bands but throwing a few more "well known bands" wouldn't hurt the intergity of the festival. Plus its a dream Maryland Death Fest if i was picking a death fest lineup that's how it would look.

Not trying to start a fight Wizzbang but I don't understand how any of bands I listed with the exception of The Black Dahlia Murder,The Agonist and maybe Enfiserum/Blackguard wouldn't fit.

I think there's a pretty large distance in popularity between D.R.I. and Behemoth.

MDF should be for classic bands and bands that aren't very well known to give them a chance to play a great show that you might not get to see anywhere else.

Why would you even want to see Behemoth at MDF when they'll be back 5 times within the year?
