The one big treat I allow myself every year – snap up an early bird ticket and book a room before I know what the lineup is or can even think about the cost.

The lineup just came out.

#NWTerrorfest is NEVER disappointing. 🖤

A brilliant “fuck you I’m here” album from trans goth metal queen #Sonja! She’s gonna play #NWTerrorFest this year after having to cancel in ‘24. CANNOT WAIT.

BRAINOIL“Autocratic Annihilation” shirt design (2025).

They’ll be playing at the @nwterrorfest in Seattle on Saturday, May 10th and these shirts will be available there.

Thanks again to Grammy Greg for once again trusting me to handle more visuals representing one of my favorite bands. 🔥🔥🔥

If you’re on the fence about heading to #NWTerrorFest next year, this excellent report should push you over. Just sitting here with a smile on my face reliving the whole weekend. #metalsky

#NWTerrorfest just dropped the second tranch of bands for this year’s festival. The line-up was already amazing, but it would be worth the three-day pass if this was the whole thing!

Here’s the link. If you’re near the #PNW and into metal, do yourself a favor.

Chicago’s mighty #ImmortalBird. This might be the record that did the most to alter my ears’ musical frame of reference back in 2019, and seeing them at last year’s #NWTerrorFest was a dream come true. 🖤

More escapism this morning.

#OfWealdandWoe fall into (as you may surmise from the cover) the genre of #castlemetal, but they’re actually good! Great songs, lightly blackened. And they’re playing #NWTerrorFest!

That’s really all I can manage to post tonight. 14 bands is a LOT of bands. I’ll just leave you with this vibe shot from #VerminWomb’s set.

#NWTerrorFest is a great festival in a great venue, year after year. Looking forward to the next two days, prepped with ibuprofen and comfortable shoes. 😅

I’d seen #FallsofRauros at NWTerrorfest, but this set blew me away.

As did Charlie’s hair, a member of the band in its own right! 🫢🖤
