Holy shit! Heavy MTL 2012 might just prove to be the most brutal event in its short history. Fine, it’s not Slayer and Megadeth, but it’s definitely going to be worth the price of admission.

If you were with us at Heavy MTL 2011, you know that we had the opportunity to speak with a number of our favorite bands, including Opeth, Machine Head, Times of Grace, DevilDriver, and Trivium. We’re hoping to do the same this year.

Heavy MTL 2012 takes place in Montreal, Quebec, over the weekend of August 11 and 12. We’re heading up for sure and hope you’ll do the same. If you’re not, be sure to check out our interviews.
