"Some Metal and mostly Hardcore" Festival 2014 The lineup is good but hopefully more metal will be on it to even out the huge amount of hardcore bands.

anonymous 11/26/2013 5:01:19 PM

*MOSH ALERT* CoA and Nails *MOSH ALERT*

anonymous 11/27/2013 3:14:15 AM

Ramallah alone makes it worth it

anonymous 11/27/2013 3:35:42 AM

Whoever is going to this, MAKE SURE you check out Discourse.

anonymous 11/27/2013 6:14:02 AM

Nails, Nile and Scale the Summit. Not worth the $40.

anonymous 11/27/2013 7:06:13 AM

Final east coast shows for all of those bands, or just bleeding through?

anonymous 11/27/2013 8:27:42 AM

The hardcore portion is obviously better than the metal portion, but it's still basically all the same bands you see on every fest.

anonymous 11/27/2013 8:44:55 AM

Islander should be on this

anonymous 11/27/2013 9:33:10 AM

first half looked a little promising and then the second half of the lineup looks just like any other Douchefest on every corner of the country. NO THANKS.

anonymous 11/27/2013 9:36:46 AM

Dimebag hologram????

anonymous 11/27/2013 2:35:27 PM

lineup is garbage, only Nile is worth to see i don't care for the plenty of gaycore bands...promoters should make festivals like wacken open air not this bullshit

anonymous 11/27/2013 5:20:38 PM

This festival is a joke, it just gets progressively worse. I haven't enjoyed one of these since maybe 2006-2007

shane_battier 11/28/2013 5:10:40 AM

decent lineup

anonymous 11/28/2013 11:49:20 AM

All That Remains- we aren't the cool band anymore :(

anonymous 11/28/2013 1:11:55 PM

Hilarious how bleeding throughs final tour ended in a van wreck days after all the other bands dropped off. Had to pick up this shit fest to make a few bucks to say it wasn't a failure.

anonymous 11/29/2013 9:01:43 AM

Would go for Nile. However, I traveled across the country for the '05 lineup.. and this is shit compared to it. Definitely wouldn't drive more than 100 miles for this.

anonymous 11/29/2013 1:24:30 PM

Worst line-up on NEHMF ever. Scott Lee needs to get his shit back together. 2008 was the real deal.

Snoopy2 11/30/2013 2:09:36 PM

Three fcking metal bands = three too fcking many, you idiots

anonymous 11/30/2013 6:42:16 PM

^ metal rules and most of those hardcore bands are crap so go wear a flat bill and take a picture with your fat hands covering up your dick. idiot

anonymous 12/1/2013 5:59:12 AM

fest is a sleeper as usual

anonymous 12/16/2013 12:38:38 PM

Harms way and the mongoloids....enough said
