A rainy-dark musk set the mood on Saturday September 7th as Spread The Metal Festival brought forth a day filled with epic and intense head banging and guitar thrashing performances from all over.
The Toronto line-up included headlining performances by: Suffocation and Kittie with intense openings from: Skull Fist, Augury, Crimson Shadows, Vesperia, Beheading of a King, Deathpoint, Wretchedpain and Answer With Metal.
Fans were pumped and horns were pumping throughout the crowd. If you were fortunate enough to show up at the beginning of the day, then not only were you fed a mouthful of hefty metal for lunch, you were also pleasantly warmed up for the evening ahead.
Luckily for us, and for you… The Heavy Press’ Anna Sklavos and Jeanette LeBlanc were there to capture the day in it’s entirety. Whether you want to catch up on what you missed or relive the day, we have you covered! (trust us, you’ll want to check these out).
