They’ve also released a RPM Fest 2018 Compilation on Bandcamp, featuring over 30 songs from the festival roster of bands, and is offered at a ‘Name Your Price‘ digital download.

Each year of RPM Fest has occurred in Western Massachusetts, which has been a hotbed for spawning nationally-recognized heavy music acts like Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall. Since RPM Fest’s 2014 start, West Mass has seen a heavy music resurgence, with its goal to keep fostering the local heavy music scene by showcasing some of the best underground bands New England has to offer.
