Southern Darkness Fest held its inaugural event last August and brought 27 crushing acts to three venues in Tampa. Destroyer Fest followed a mere three months later in St. Pete with nearly a dozen local and Florida-brewed acts of varying heaviness joined by nationals Weedeater, Full of Hell and Lazer/Wulf. Both culled the best and mightiest sounds from most metal sub-genres and hardcore branch-offs, making for two intriguing bills with surprisingly little overlap. facebook.com/southerndarknessfest, facebook.com/destroyerfest
