Shadow Woods Metal Fest announce full lineup for 2016 edition

We usually talk about more mainstream festivals across the US with big headliners like Megadeth, Five Finger Death Punch or Disturbed; we also talk a bit about more underground fests like the well-known Maryland Deathfest or Hells Headbash but if we wanna go deep in the true underground, we need to talk about Shadow Woods Metal Fest.

If you live on the east coast, like more underground bands and camping, we suggest going to the second edition of Shadow Woods Metal Fest which will take place at the Camp Hidden Valley in White Hall, MD between September 15-18 and will boasts a large array of North American bands including the enigmatic black metal band Ghost Bath and some international acts like Chinese folk band Tengger Cavalry or Canadian post-metallers Numenorean.

The festival includes bands of a lot of sub-genres of heavy metal represented including death metal, thrash, black metal, doom metal, sludge, stoner, heavy rock, drone, noise, experimental, progressive, folk and classic “traditional” heavy metal and more. Check out the full list of bands below and make sure to get your tickets at this location.
