High On Fire is pretty good live. Whitechapel has some mean pits. As I Lay Dying is orgasmic live. I've seen them twice. Asking Alexandria has a pretty good Wall of Death. I've seen them 3 times. The Devil Wears Prada...well, just watch your back. I've seen them 3 times. Have yet to see Anthrax, Slayer, or Slipknot. Really excited though. Overall I think Mayhem has a pretty good lineup this year.

[MultiNatester]

What if the special guest is Maiden? Holy shit!

[USAirForceRecruit]

I hope its not Motorhead. I hope its five finger death punch or Korn!

[xSlayerMike]

Hatebreed and I'm going jest cuz of slayer slipknot. I could careless about AA and TDWP

[turquoiseguy]

btw, that's not actually true, there has never been one black metal band on Mayhem. Usually a fair share of death metal, but big US tours don't seem to pay any attention to the black metal or folk metal scene.

[turquoiseguy]

This is a pretty bad lineup. Not because of the shitty bands that don't belong like AA and TDWP, although that does contribute to it, but more so the lack of diversity. The lineup is virtually entirely Thrash Metal and Metalcore. As a fan of black metal and folk metal, I can understand that these genres are not fairly recognized on US metal festivals, but as a fan of death metal, I am shocked that there is not one death metal band. Hopefully this means Summer Slaughter will be better though.
