With less than three months to go before Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Philly blows the doors off the Fillmore Philly on May 2-3, five more breweries have joined in on the festivities! Decibel is proud to welcome Necromantic Brew Co. (NY), Ghost Hawk Brewing Company (NJ), Spring House Brewing Company (PA), Imprint Beer Co. (PA) and Requiem Bier (PA) to our already delicious who’s-who of American craft brews! They join presenting brewery and American craft beer vanguard 3 Floyds Brewing (IN) as well as WarPigs Brewing (IN), XUL Beer Company (TN), Magnanimous Brewing (FL), New Trail Brewing Co. (PA), Nepenthe Brewing Co. (MD), Little Cottage Brewery (GA), Bear Cult Brewing Co. (DE) and flagship meadery Brimming Horn Meadery (DE).
But what about the bands, you ask? Well…
Texas crossover thrash juggernauts Power Trip will headline the Sunday night with their first Philly performance in seven years, while Richmond heroes Municipal Waste will close out Saturday evening via a special celebration of selections from their thrash metal landmark The Art of Partying.
Of course, our flight of special sets doesn’t end there! Montréal death metal kings Cryptopsy will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their None So Vile LP with a set of vintage (and a few new) rippers, while New York hardcore legends Cro-Mags will perform selections from their genre-defining The Age of Quarrel album to honor its 40th anniversary.
The already stacked artist bill, presented by BLKIIBLK, is rounded out by: freshly reunited progressive psych sludge institution Kylesa; Oakland death metal raiders Necrot; Italian death cultists Fulci; bicoastal masked mincecore marauders Haggus; capitol grindcrushers No/Más; and D.C. death/grind blasters Blood Monolith.
This year “Metal & Beer” ticket holders are granted exclusive access to the Foundry, the upstairs room at the Fillmore, where they can sample pours from and speak with participating breweries in a comfortable environment while still having access to audio and video feeds from the main hall. “Metal & Beer” tickets are limited to 500 per day.
