Destruction Baltimore, Maryland Deathfest 2026 – “Pure insanity” Festivals

THANK YOU, BALTIMORE! 🇺🇸

The first of our summer festival run — Maryland Deathfest — was absolutely wild! A massive metal party right in downtown Baltimore, surrounded by skyscrapers and fast-food joints… pure insanity! 🤘🔥

But the weekend came with some serious challenges: endless rain ☔️, cooling temperatures for days… and to top it all off, we got stuck in the hotel elevator for 30 minutes right before the show! The fire department literally had to rescue us. 🤯

And as if that wasn’t enough chaos already, SCHMIER’s bass guitar suddenly died due to an electrical issue just moments before we were supposed to hit the stage! 🤯

We sincerely apologize for the delay and the shortened set — BUT you guys were absolutely INSANE! 🔥🔥🔥
Celebrating INFERNAL OVERKILL in its entirety with us like there was no tomorrow! Huge energy, massive pits, and true metal warriors who didn’t give a damn about the weather! 🤘😍🔥

A huge THANK YOU BROTHER goes out to Kreator and their bass player Freddy for saving the day by lending us his bass guitar. You’re a legend, mate! 🖤🖤🖤

CHEERS to everyone who came out to witness this historic night — THRASH TILL DEATH! ⚔️
‼️ Catch us at one of the 15 festivals coming up this summer ‼️
