Wacken is a village of less than 200 souls in the north of Germany. One weekend a year this swells to a little under 100.000, mostly dressed in black. Wacken open air (WOA) is one of the largest metal festivals in the world. It is without a doubt the most relaxed festival.

Noctis Metal Festival

Morris — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:28:06 +0000

The Noctis metal festival is held yearly in Calgary, typically in the early fall. The festival has been growing rapidly attracting bigger international acts in its three years of operation. In 2009, the festival featured many well known bands such as Cynic, Suffocation, Destroyer 666, Novembers Doom and Slough Feg among others, along with popular local acts.

The festival is usually held at the MacEwan Hall as well as The Den, two indoor venues located at the University of Calgary. The 2009 edition of the festival also featured a second club night at a downtown club in Calgary called The Distillery, along with a metal conference conducted at a nearby hotel where music industry professionals and musicians participated in presentations, interviews, and also panel discussions on various music business related topics.

Maryland Deathfest

Morris — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:07:50 +0000

MDF is America’s biggest and best metal festival. It is typically held in late May at the Sonar club located just a short distance from the scenic inner harbour area of Baltimore. The Sonar is a large multiroom club that regularly hosts concerts. In 2009, they also blocked off the street in front and setup a large second outdoor stage. There are several hotels within walking distance from the festival.

A word about the area for any young or inexperienced travelers; I had no problems during my visit, but Baltimore does have a reputation for being a crime plagued city and there are plenty of homeless ‘crusty’ kids hanging around too, so if you’re walking around outside of the fenced venue grounds try to go with a friend, especially at night. I’m not trying to scare anyone cause its not that bad, but some common sense goes a long way, just like when traveling in any bigger city.
