Roster and Set Schedules Below

After such a magnificent 10th anniversary celebration of #4daysofdoom in 2024, which involved reorganizing and coordinating two stages in one venue (Cafe 611), we are beyond stoked to share The Maryland Doom Fest 2025 roster and marvelous promotional artwork.

The art design was created by one of our Maryland natives in the local music scene—Ben Proudman, the Frederick, MD-based master artist at Key City Tattoo (IG: @tattoosbyprdmn). Ben is also the drummer for the powerful bands Thonian Horde and Foehammer. Our very own Bill Kole (IG: @BillyDiablo) handled the color design and layouts again this year. He majestically brought this piece to life!

‼️Maryland DooM Fest 2025 is the FINAL MDDF‼️

If attending our festival has been on your bucket list, join us for a final blowout!!

Creating, building, coordinating & enjoying this gathering has been a delightful highlight of my life. This unique festival of heaviness has hosted approximately 500 bands over the years & I’m extremely proud of everything associated with its success & the memories that will never dissipate.

To all musicians, sponsors, vendors, supporters, promoters, artistic geniuses (Bill K., Mark C.), the talented 11 DooM Fest poster artists, fantastic staff, Cafe 611, Super 8 of Frederick, merch pusher extraordinaire (Christine C.), merch suppliers (MIBK Silk Screeners & Special Tees), food & ice cream trucks, our seconds venues, (Guido’s, Oliver Brewing, & Olde Mother Brewery), tour managers, agents, Benzotti Live Radio, The Doom Cellar, Mettle Media PR & Riff Relevant (both Leanne R.), Atomic Music, JJ & The Obelisk, incredible sound engineers & stage/lighting crews, & the badass fans that came to party at #4daysofdoom for the past 4,000 days…

I want to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary memories, enthusiasm, and support you have shown me, the MD Doom scene, and this incredible fest, which was a dream venture of mine that has become a beautiful annual occurrence.

Again, thank you. To each one of you, for the incredible times and camaraderie we shared over the past 11 years. 💀🤘💀 THANK YOU & DOOM FOREVER!
