So, I know it is early, seeing how they don't announce bands until like two days before the god damn show, but does anyone know any rumours, or have any hypothesis of who is going to be there.

I want to venture a guess that Sonata Arctica will be there because they will be at progpower, and have a new cd out soon, so I am asuming they will be in the states for a tour, I pray to god Therion will be here too, but I have a feeling they are on a european tour this year for their new album.

Maybe Wintersun, or some other semi popular foreign metal band.

I really hope something along the lines of Nevermore or Iced Earth decide to go on tour.


Maybe some of the bands on progower?



but in reality I know there will be like three bands and one headliner I actually will want to see.

it will be like most years

the hardcore kids get nothing
the metal kids get nothing

shitty metalcore worcester bands take the stage for a suckfest

I was going to make a post like this.
I'm guessing that "hot" bands will be playing this like anal naathrak. seems that nemhf gets the bands that are going to be hot for the next year, like dragon force last year.

yeah, there will always be one up and coming, kinda like Bodom, who were not too big, but were huge the year after they played metalfest

I hope Anaal Nathrakh doesn't play this. They'd probably end up like Necrophagist was last year. With only 15 minutes to play.

i will only go to metalfest again if there is a onetime At The Gates/Carcass reunion. otherwise.... no dice.

99% chance some of the bands playing will be terror, btbam, acacia strain black dahlia murder ect.

i wish they would put alot more different bands on.

I guarantee Killswitch Engage will headline one of the days.

Rev, in what way is Anaal Nathrakh "hot"? Nigga please, that's SO beyond the average metalcore moshturd, which is the "core" demographic of NEMHF.

PS - yawn

blood has been shed

mr ryan adams is out of the loop.
anal nathrakh is the "hot" band on everyone's list.
not saying they aren't good, but that's the band who's balls every kid is on now.

also KSE didn't play last year. they probably are like other bands that played there before and ask for too much money to play.

i fucking hate "kids"

LETHAL BAPTISM FOR ALL CHILDREN!

anaal nathrakh is great, but far beyond the scope of the average coretard

PS - watain and deathspell omega are far superior

Killswitch was on hiatus that's why they didn't play last year. They just put out a new album. They will headline 2007.

Anaal Nathrakh is far superior to Deathspell Omega and Watain. But I also disagree with Aaron. They are popular right now with real metal fans but not to your average Mall core kid that would go to metalfest.

Kevord said:

they should do a tour that doesn't coincide with metalfest. metalfest ruins good tours i want to see ------------> evergrey :(

think what you want, but when their myspace name drops are hitting of the level of BDM or JFAC... I'll be right.

actually, I was sort of doubting there would be a nemhf this year.

ANAAL NATHRAKH 'ESCHATON' has 6460 friends.

Not that many my friend.

Job For A Cowboy has 104204 friends

right, cause every person that name drops a band on myspace obviously has that person as a buddy.

Kevord said:

and not 1 fan, how sweet.

the_reverend said:

Aaron you've lost it.

Of The Betrayed?

No but seriously I'm guessing It Dies Today & Bury Your Dead for sure because their albums came out not too long ago.

Basically think of any band you can think of that put out an album within the past few months to any band that's putting out a album shortly or around the time of MHCF and you'll see them on there.

I'm pretty sure Chimaira is a shoe-in because ferret will probably want to push the new cd pretty hard.

Disturbed and System of a Down will headline the '07 metalfest and it will be sponsored exclusively by Hot Topic.


I'm just kidding, but I wouldn't be surprised.

i could see that

New England Metal and Metalcore Festival

New England You-dont-play-unless-you're-signed-to-metalblade-or-friends-with-the-big-cheese-man Festival

like when that metalcore band gamma ray headlined last year and that other metalcore band, king diamond headlined the year before.

Yeah, they always throw in one "true metal" headliner just so that niche has to buy a fucking ticket...myself included

I'd be really shocked if Anaal Nathrakh played NEHMF regardless of whether what Aaron says is true or not, but I sure hope he's wrong

Kevord said:

wow. i hope your retard-crash-helmet is comfortable.

... tard

we got the headlining slot for friday...we're getting paid in twinkies

sever nli said:

bingo

Kevord said:

i wouldnt compare Anaal Nathrakh to Deathspell Omega, they sound nothing alike.

I'd like to make a prediction for 2007............Watchmaker will not be playing, again

I think the network will probably play now.

i'd love to see a reunion thrash show but that will never happen. i have to say not a fan of the new school but this band Human Abstract strikes my fancy.

START SUCKIN'

um, that guy has to go i am sorry

HAHA, thats fucking great!

eh, I'll probably be in Japan when this happens... again.

thats too fuckin funny.

GoatCatalyst said:

Well that was completely uncalled for. Just because Anaal Nathrakh is better in my opinion.

I realize that Watain and DsO are very different from Anaal Nathrakh but if there's a band to get into, those two are where it's at in my never humble, bourbon-enhanced churlish opinion . And I love me some Anaal Nathrakh, mind you. But even the most chest-slappingest retard could discern Anaal Nathrakh's inferiority to Watain and Deathspell Omega.

I do listen to all three bands. I just like Anaal Nathrakh more. Anaal actually seem like they're progressing out of black metal. So us comparing them was silly.

Nothing personal, dude. I once found myself engaged in a debate that almost took a turn for the physical with some wack-ass honky bitch that INSISTED upon Peace Sell's superiority over Rust In Peace. Shit almost came to blows.

Don't worry. I know that Rust in Peace was Megadeth's finest hour. LOL

friends of scott lee [the man as he is known] will be on

others will have to beg
