About:
Taking influence from Europe's music festival circuit, Armstrong
Metal Fest is a heavy metal celebration that encourages
metal heads from across Canada and the globe to mosh and camp with the backdrop
of great outdoors of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. What started as a backyard party in 2009 with nothing but
eleven local metal bands such as Terrifier, Xul and Odinfist to name a
few, has grown into a a huge success admired by the Western Canadian Metal
scene. 2016
was the eighth year of the festival and was its largest year for
music and attendance. Previous years of the festival have seen line ups with Cattle
Decapitation, Suffocation, Anciients, Bison BC, Striker, Crimson Shadows, Holy
Grail, Archspire, Cryptopsy, Unleash The Archers, Divinity, Into Eternity,
Ninjaspy, Vesperia, XUL, Odinfist, Death Toll Rising, Gomorrah among many
others .
