Due to originally announced headliners OCEANO along with VCTMS and INCITE unable to perform at this year's 2023 TOLEDO DEATH FEST, the festival is proud to announce their replacements will be SIGNS OF THE SWARM as the new headliner along with CASKET ROBBERY and SUMMONER'S CIRCLE.

The festival organizer Keith Wampler issued the following statement:

"We have good news and we have bad news. The bad news is that OCEANO and VCTMS are no longer able to perform at TOLEDO DEATHFEST 2023, This was very unexpected and is something that is out of our control. We ask that you please respect the Bands, Organizers, and Venue and understand that we are all still working to bring you a great day of heavy music. That being said, We do have some good news... We were able to get two amazing artists to replace OCEANO and VCTMS at this year's event! They are SIGNS OF THE SWARM and CASKET ROBBERY. We really appreciate these bands jumping in on such short notice and are looking forward to seeing them perform! Thank you to everyone who has supported Toledo Deathfest and we will see you all June 3rd!"

Along with a statement from OCEANO:

"We deeply regret to inform you that we will be unable to perform at Toledo Deathfest. The band is currently undergoing personal and internal changes that have unfortunately hindered our ability to proceed with our plans. However, we are pleased to announce that the festival organizers have secured another exceptional band to take our place. We encourage you to continue supporting your local music scene and show your enthusiasm for all the talented bands performing. The lineup promises to be outstanding! We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. We hope to connect with you again in the near future!"

TOLEDO DEATH FEST will be stirring up the most extreme mosh pit to ever tornado Ohio and its surrounding states. This year's event is being hosted on June 3rd in Toledo at Mainstreet Bar and will feature headliners, SIGNS OF THE SWARM alongside THE CONVALESCENCE, CASKET ROBBERY, SUMMONER'S CIRCLE, and many more (full lineup below).

Since its inception in 2009 by Keith Wampler, the frontman of THE CONVALESCENCE and owner of The Legend Agency, the festival has showcased the talents of some of the American Midwest's best up-and-coming metal bands. Past editions have seen past support from well-known artists such as JUNGLE ROT, MALEVOLENT CREATION, and THE BREATHING PROCESS among many more. The festival has been an extreme metal pilgrimage for fans living in the surrounding states of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and West Virginia.

"I am very happy to be able to bring Toledo Deathfest back in 2023 with one of the most insane lineups we've ever had. This festival has come from being local bands at small venues to a two-stage festival featuring bands from around the country thanks to the incredible support of everyone who attends each year. Thank you to everyone who has supported Toledo Deathfest and I look forward to seeing everyone again on June 3rd!"

Highlights of the confirmed bands include headliners SIGNS OF THE SWARM with their slamming brutal chugs, to black metal-tinged frenzies and groove-driven downtempo bursts of aggression, the band cohesively captures a vile sound spreading across the genre’s various styles. THE CONVALESCENCE is one of the USA's unstoppable tour de force, touring Europe in 2022 with CHELSEA GRIN, and CARNIFEX plus an upcoming tour in Japan in 2023 with EXHUMED and DEFILED along with their latest single "No Survivors" ft. Scott Ian Lewis of CARNIFEX, that has fans demanding more and more. Emerging from the darkest and most desolate areas of the Midwest, CASKET ROBBERY creates its own signature style of death metal by infusing horror and occult themes. Their trademark huge riffs and unstoppable grooves create the unrelenting, brutally catchy, and eerie sound that only CASKET ROBBERY is known for. SUMMONER'S CIRCLE, hailing from Dandridge, TN, is a six-piece theatrical metal band that blends elements of doom, death, black and progressive metal into what they refer to as simply Epic Metal.
