Denver Deathfest 2023 Wave 3 Announcement
Artist announcements for the first annual Denver Deathfest are well underway as we enter the 3rd week with a 3rd wave of some of the hardest hitting bands in the area. With the third week, a new sponsor has also joined the DDF ranks. Welcome to Metal Maidens! Metal Maidens are a dedicated group of both Denver local promoters as well as some nationwide volunteers who support local artists by handing out flyers, doing digital promo, attending shows, modeling merch, participate in photo/video shoots, and more. They also hold an annual calendar contest. Definitely check them out and let them know how they can help your band/event/etc.
Wave 3 Artists:
Eyes Of Perdition
Las Vegas, NV
Eyes of Perdition is a brutal death metal band that combines old school death metal with the heaviest of hardcore elements. If their goal is to melt faces, it's working.
I Am Destruction
Grand Prairie, TX
"Started in 2013 by Stephen "Mud" Mashburn: I Am Destruction is a force to be reckoned with. DFW's Brutal Death 4-piece includes Buddy Griffin, Richie Pennington, and Paul Von Dundas. Slammy slams and technical death riffage come together to give a driving sound unlike any other." - from the band's facebook
Crotalus
Colorado Springs, CO
"Crotalus is a 5 piece death metal band from Colorado that formed in November 2017. Powered by a
nihilistic outlook of humanity, copious amounts of weed, 80s shred, and blast beats, Crotalus is set to blast the front range and beyond in 2023 with the release of our 3rd EP." -from the band's bandcamp
Parthian
Wichita, KS
