Maryland Deathfest – Saturday, May 25
Thursday, July 18th, 2024 by Liz Kosik
by Saturday I had several interviews lined up which was wildly exciting. I had been studying and researching the bands and artists to be able to ask insightful and thought-provoking questions that hadn’t been asked before. Prior to my interviews, I was able to catch the Avulsed set on the Market Street stage. This live performance has to be one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

Maryland Deathfest – Friday, May 24
Wednesday, July 17th, 2024 by Liz Kosik
by After an incredible first day at Maryland Deathfest 2024, I was beyond pumped for another day filled to the brim with death metal. The first show I saw was Aura Noir, a Norwegian black/thrash metal band formed back in 1993. The band members had so much passion and energy during their set, and the crowd was definitely feeling it. Even though it was early in the day, they still had people crowd-surfing for most of the set. The music itself had a lot of nice, heavy breakdowns and some solid shredding.

Maryland Deathfest – Thursday, May 23
Wednesday, July 17th, 2024 by Liz Kosik
byI have been a lover of Death Metal and all metal for a very long time. I had never been to an all-metal festival let alone one of the biggest Death Metal music festivals around the world. This was the experience of a lifetime and I’m so thankful for all of those who helped make this possible. I first arrived on Thursday evening and had no idea what to expect, I’d been to other music festivals but I knew this one was going to be quite different. Even just driving through Baltimore there were so many people in metal shirts and denim jackets covered with patches, I felt like I was meant to be here, among my people.

by Liz Kosik ’25
WLOY is excited to highlight our Loyolapalooza artist, Fitz and the Tantrums!
Fitz and the Tantrums arrived on the music scene in Los Angeles in 2008, bringing with them a fresh blend of indie pop and neo soul sounds. The band’s core duo, Michael Fitzpatrick (Fitz) and Noelle Scaggs, joined forces with James King, Joseph Karnes, Jeremy Ruzumna, and John Wicks to create their famous ensemble. What definitely set them apart from the beginning was their energetic live performances and their commitment to crafting catchy sound.

And that’s a wrap! WLOY has concluded its 7th year of Vinylthon, upholding the tradition. This year’s event was particularly special as we welcomed back esteemed alumni and past DJs, some dating all the way back to the 70s! The excitement was in the air as we reunited with our very own Eddie Fine ’23 and Anna Markulis ’23 for the day. The Loyola community showcased its spirit, with dozens of students enthusiastically participating in our raffle-giveaway. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who hosted a show for Vinyl Hour, returned to visit for the day, entered our raffles, and showed their unwavering support for WLOY. Also, a special thank you to Wax Mage for their custom-made vinyl designs! With memories of this year fresh in our minds, we can’t help but wonder how we’ll top it next year!
