Atlanta’s MASS DESTRUCTION METAL FEST has unveiled the complete lineup for its eighth edition, set to take place November 6–7, 2026 at The Garden Club at Wild Heaven West End.
The two-day gathering once again leans heavily into death metal, black metal, doom, and the underground extreme metal spectrum, bringing together a diverse roster of international and U.S. acts.
Finnish black metal veterans ARCHGOAT top the bill alongside progressive death metal pioneers ATHEIST. The lineup also includes ARTIFICIAL BRAIN, MORTIFERUM, CAUSTIC WOUND, LIVIDITY, OLD TOWER, TRHÄ, CLOAK, DRUID LORD, PALADIN, ABHORRENCY, TOMBSTALKER and more.
Festival organizers describe the event simply:
“Mass Destruction Metal Fest returns for its 8th year with a weekend of chaos and crushing riffs on November 6th & 7th, 2026. Prepare for two relentless days of metal.”
Doors open at 3:00 p.m. each day, with music beginning at 4:00 p.m. The event is all ages.
