Spread the Metal Festival Launches Band Search For Indie Opener - Toronto Edition w/ Suffocation, The Agonist, Augury, Skullfist & More!

Spread The Metal Festival has launched a new contest in search of one indie band to perform at this year’s Spread The Metal Festival in Toronto, ON on September 7th and 8^th alongside Suffocation, The Agonist, Augury, Skull Fist and many more as they all come together to raise funds for Kiva, an organization that reduces poverty by providing money to struggling entrepreneurs in developing countries.

HOW BANDS CAN SHARE THE STAGE:

Based on a points system, bands interested in performing on the festival will have to share the following link: igg.me/at/STMFest

Each "share" on FB of the STM Festival Indiegogo crowd funding campaign = 1 point

Each contributor to the campaign inspired by their participating band = 5 points

Each contribution made by a band member from a participating band = 10 points

All participating band members make a contribution = 25 points

The participating band that raises the most money through the campaign = 50 points

When making contributions on the crowd funding page, contributors are urged to add a comment letting STM Records know, which participating band they're supporting to help get a spot on the festival lineup.

So what does the band win?

The band selected will receive an opening slot at the "Spread the Metal Festival 2013 - Toronto Edition", full backline, get a chance to meet Suffocation, The Agonist, Augury, Skull Fist, and many more, and have their album reviewed by Spread the Metal Records and other industry reps.

Bands interested in participating and questions can email info@spreadthemetal.com.
