Days of Darkness was a two-day festival organized by the same people involved with Maryland Deathfest. Held at Ram's Head Live in the fall, Days of Darkness holds a greater emphasis on doom and stoner bands than it's predecessor (Which has also hosted a great deal of stoner & doom acts on it's own accord.), along with hard rock and synthwave.
