This coming spring, New England Metal & Hardcore Festival will return to The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts for a full weekend of face-melting fun. Earlier in the day, head-bangers were graced with the first wave of performers for the annual three-day event, and if this initial offering is any indication, attendees are in for quite a treat this April. Check out the lineup below, and let us know if you approve in the replies.

“2015 is shaping up to be a great lineup and I couldn’t be more proud and excited,” said festival co-founder Scott Lee. “This year we are trying to hit every genre of metal and hardcore to focus on creating as much variety as possible for the fans.”

The mayhem begins on Friday, April 17 and will conclude the following Sunday. If you want in, tickets can be purchased here.
