Away Team

It’s that time of year again when the metal community starts to gear up for the annual New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, taking place April 20th – 22nd in Worcester, MA.  This year f.y.e. & ‘stache media have teamed up with MassConcerts to create the 2012 New England Metal & Hardcore Festival CD sampler, featuring some of the bands playing this year’s festival + more!

There is a contest running where one winner and a guest will receive a three-day pass to the festival, roundtrip airfare, and hotel accommodations.  For details and official contest rules visit www.metalandhardcorefestival.com/Contest

The New England Metal & Hardcore Festival CD sampler is available at your local participating f.y.e. store (while supplies last).  Get the sampler for FREE when you purchase a $9.99 CD in stores from the featured bands below.
