We highlight five bands playing this year's installment of NWTF (from Thantifaxath to Thou and more) -- even if you can't make it this time, the lineup makes one hell of a playlist.
Currently an editor at Bandcamp, you've also seen Zoe's metal writing at Revolver, Pitchfork, CLRVYNT, and more. She stopped by to let IO know what she liked best this year.
