Knotfest was so important to me. I haven't seen any metal concert for 4 years before went to Knotfest. I stopped listen to any metal band during my bottom period for over a year. On the Knotfest, everyone was so friendly and so real to me. It totally warmed my heart. I saw so many my favorite bands' performances. Knotfest brought the true happyness back to me. I found the real me back and I figured out what I really want in my current life. After the fest, I continiued to see metal shows and liten to metal bands frequently again! Metal never die!

Huge Parking lot all full.

I remembered there were a Christian group standed near by the entrance. They were psychos to me, they said metal was Satan's music and they persuaded people to believe in god. One metalhead argued with those psychos and that was what they wanted which started to argue with people and tried so hard to prove they were right there.

I love this place. Beautiful weather.

We found a spot to took a break before the big show.

More people were coming.

I realiazed Americans really love metalcore bands.

Hatebreed live was very active and fun.

I saw Butcher Babies played at the same time from the screen. I love one of their songs Mr. Slowdeath so much.

Mosh pits were everywhere, and people started bonfire everywhere. Everyone was so real to me. I had never been truely happy as this moment. I wished time could freeze.

The sky was getting darker and here was Black Label Society

Everyone was taking a break and waiting for Anthrax.
