Right now, much of New England is covered in snow. However, in two months, instead of weather systems hitting the region, Worcester MA will be set upon by metal fans as the seventeenth annual New England Metal and Hardcore Festival takes place at the Palladium. Featuring their most impressive lineup in a while, Between the Buried and Me, Testament, Exodus, Corrosion of Conformity, Overcast, Nuclear Assault and Nails are just a fraction of those playing this year. And as the official media partner of the Fest, we’re giving you several chances to win some prizes. In fact, between now and Friday, we’re giving away a pair of weekend passes to the entire festival.

To enter, all you have to do is put your information in the entry form below. We’ll be picking a winner at random on Monday, February 23rd. In the meantime, you can feel free to pick up tickets here. Booker Scott Lee recently caught up with us about the Fest and what it’s been like booking it for the last 17 years. You can check out that interview here.
