The most recent Northwest Terror Fest took place from May 26 to May 28 in 2023. It has become a mainstay of Seattle's music scene. The festival this year featured a wide lineup of international extreme metal, hardcore punk, and noise rock performers. The event's main stage was once more the iconic Neumos location, with each night's after-parties taking place at the nearby Barboza and Highline clubs.
The likes of Full of Hell, Primitive Man, and Thou, among many others, gave fans of heavy music amazing concerts. The energy during the festival was intense, with mosh pits, headbanging, and crowd surfing in abundance. Anyone who enjoys loud, aggressive music should go to the Northwest Terror Fest, and this year's event was no exception.
