Celebrating its fourth anniversary, Mettalfest will take over Gus’ Pub for a weekend of gnarly longhairs thrashing to some of the country’s toughest metal bands, including Toronto’s Vesperia, winners of the Wacken Metal Battle in Germany, New Brunswick’s Hard Charger and Dischord, with local favourites Spew, Hitman, Dismember and more. Time for whiplash, time for pain. Adria Young
