Was wondering if people had any thoughts on what's going on with the Steelfest festival? A link below gives the gist of it, but essentially there has been a lot of pushback due to the booking of NSBM bands at it for 2022 - Satanic Warmaster, Goatmoon, Graveland. A lot of "standard" bands booked - Samael, Deicide, Primordial ect have either pulled out or are very likely to.
It's an interesting one - have to admit I'd be wondering about a promoter getting those kinds of bands together on a bill, didn't think you would see that outside of something like Asgardsrei festival. Other bands probably worried about guilt by association which I can't really blame them for.

Look at the PC and Perpetually Offended thread in the off topic section ;)
Ok thanks!
Wow that thread is some clusterfuck it must be said.
Perfect representation of the whole debacle.
Bardo Methodology interview with Steelfest organizer. This is the second part of the interview, dealing exclusively with said clusterfuck:

Read it earlier. I like his stance/explanation however naive it may be.
It does seem a bit niave, but principled at least.
Would love to go to this as it would tick off a lot of live bands I wanna see but will I be cancelled?!
