Hellbound invades Maryland Deathfest 2012, Part 1
“If you’re a fan of extreme metal and you live in North America, it’s likely that you have a strong impulse to attend the continent’s biggest annual festival: Maryland Deathfest. Actually attending the fest, however, isn’t always possible, especially if you live thousands of miles away.” Part one of Jay H. Gorania’s recap of Maryland…
