Resist Promotions has announced the fourth Blister Heavy Metal Festival scheduled for October 20, 2018 at The Tote Hotel in Collingwood.

This year’s festival will be bigger and better than ever, featuring a variety of different metal genres, ranging from groove‐melodic metal headliners Eye of the Enemy to punk‐metallers, I Am Duckeye and grindcore outfit Grudge.

The Blister Heavy Metal Festival has been gaining in popularity, becoming one of the premier local shows to attend on the heavy metal calendar.

This year will see the introduction of a singing/screaming competition with 10 vocalists
offered the opportunity to register their interest in becoming the first BLISTER SCREAMING

having them open the night. Interested parties will need to register their interest HERE before August 10.

really grow and we’re getting more and more requests from bands to play. The event has a
