Big national touring acts come through soundstage mainly, they’ve got lots of good shows coming up. Death to All/Suffocation, Carcass, Enslaved, Hell in the Harbor festival.

Smaller national touring acts mainly play at Metro Gallery and Ottobar. Ottobar has Dead Congregation coming up, Metro has Hari Kari for the sky.

Local bands will open at those shows and Metro and Ottobar both have local only shows sometimes. Close to Metro is Club Depot. They’ve got local shows…doom is real big in MD and probably the most common but death and thrash/traditional shows too. Holy Frijoles in Hampden has random shows…usually local but they had Early Moods a couple weeks ago. Theh only get posted on instagram. Dive bar called Shamrock Inn has random metal shows too, they only get posted on their Facebook.
