This is just the first of many announcements on the horizon and I can't wait to see everyone in Milwaukee next May!"
Sound Talent Group's Tim Borror added: "Milwaukee Metal Fest 2023 was so awesome but more importantly, it's a stake in the ground of how important and vital metal music is. Especially extreme metal! 2024 is going to be even more incredible. Come hang with us in May."
