SMN News reports that British death metal legends Bolt Thrower will be performing at Maryland Deathfest VII scheduled for May 22nd-24th, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland.

“Due to the fact that we are not real festival lovers or great fans of flying, the chances of us ever coming to the States for a one-off show was always very small. But after years of relentless emails from Ryan we’ve finally given in. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 14 years since we last played in the US, so we are very happy to announce that we are finally coming back. BOLT THROWER will be playing Maryland Deathfest VII, on May 22-24, 2009, at Sonar, Baltimore, MD.

Also, in a few weeks time we will be announcing the only European festival show we will be playing next year. We’ll keep you posted on both shows as soon as we have more info.”

Several more bands were announced today as well; ENSLAVED, MARDUK, ABSU, VICTIMS, BIRDFLESH, THE RED CHORD, ROTTEN SOUND, DEVOURMENT, KEEP OF KALESSIN, SWALLOW THE SUN, TRAP THEM, CATHETER, AGENDA OF SWINE, PRETTY LITTLE FLOWER, COMPLETE FAILURE, and HERO DESTROYED.
