After fantastic sets from Flogging Molly, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Vended, and Spiritworld…. Slipknot takes the stage to close out the mighty Hellfest. All credit and appreciation to the bands, crews, and staff of the event - a joyous celebration of the global metal, rock, punk, hardcore (and all things adjacent) communities. Welcome all. Keep it about the fans. Keep it about the art. Do those things, and watch it grow
In 4 days we virtually depart on the Heavy Metal Truants annual, multi-day fundraising bike ride to the UK’s mighty Download Festival. While this year we’ll miss out on camaraderie, rain, and beer, we’ll surely make up for it in… REMOTE camaraderie and the promise of more normal times to come. Clink the link in my bio to pledge support, benefitting @TeenageCancerTrust@SaveTheChildren@nordoffrobbins@childline #heavymetaltruants @hmtruants #heavymetalcycling #photoofscotlandnotengland #samekingdom #equallydamp
To those too jaded, lazy, or ‘busy’ to vote – take a moment to think of the millions of young Americans who understand the stakes and are mobilizing, and making a difference – but are too young to actually HAVE a vote in this election. Think of that person in your life, stop pretending what you're doing is THAT important (it isn’t), and go do the right thing. 🇺🇸✊🏻✊🏾✊🏿🏳️🌈🇺🇸
