October 31st brought the official reveal of The Maryland Doom Fest 2019 lineup of bands. Early Bird Weekend Passes for the event go on sale Monday, December 17th. Riff Relevant is once again quite honored to help sponsor the festival for the 2019 Fifth Anniversary events.

It’s a goddoomed doozy, too. I mean, would you just look at this insane lineup? LOOK.

THE MARYLAND DOOM FEST 2019 PENTAGRAM + CONAN + EARTHRIDE + MOTHERSHIP

The festival poster this year was a collaboration between Kyle Stratton of American Art Tattoo Studio (main illustrator, as well as the guitarist / vocalist for Atala), and Bill Kole of Billy Diablo Designs (who coincidentally did our original Riff Relevant logo). The Maryland Doom Fest will take place once again at Cafe 611 and Guido’s Speakeasy in Frederick, Maryland, with next year’s events happening June 20th through 23rd (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday).

We waited a bit to share the MD Doom Fest 2019 news, to have a special sponsor contribution included with our own announcement. I created a couple of playlists for you potential fest-goers to grab an earful of what you’ll be in store for at The Maryland Doom Fest 2019. The MD Doom Fest 2019 Spotify Sampler (bottom of the article) was shared on Halloween, but today we have a brand new MD Doom Fest 2019 YouTube Video Sampler below! This playlist includes 48 different video selections from most of the roster and runs as close to the current four-day full lineup schedule order as possible. Enjoy!

Riff Relevant has shared much info on prior years’ events (past MD Doom Fest related articles here), and we’ll be tempting you further with more details, including the ticket links and some highlight features over the course of the year. We want to see you all at MD Doom Fest 2019! The original October 31st announcement from JB Matson (founder/organizer) is below, then read on to check out the current lineup for each day:
