Orden Ogan, Secret Sphere, and Galneryus are my 3 essential bands. Beyond that, I'm really looking forward to Insomnium, Evergrey, Demons & Wizards, and Paladin.

Got my ticket! Will be my second ProgPower after this year's excellent experience. I'm much more familiar with Days 1/2 than 3/4, so I'll be buying a ton of CDs to start discovering some of these bands.

I have thought about it some more, and I'm very likely to return next year. I think, with time, I will end up liking at least half of the Day 3 and Day 4 bands (and I love the Day 1/2 lineup). The cost of doing this trip honestly isn't too bad, even coming from so far away. I suppose because I...

This was my first ProgPower! I came from Toronto for it, and had a really great time :D Pros -Labyrinth - not just for a great set, but also being friendly at the signing session. I don't often talk to/meet bands because I never know what to say, but these guys were my main reason for coming...

1. Labyrinth - these guys were awesome. Playing a masterpiece album in its entirety was just special 2. Alestorm - Not sure how they pulled this off because I've seen them 6 times before and didn't think I could really be blown away by them anymore, but this was probably the most fun set of the...

I'm looking forward to most bands. Labyrinth is my #1. Return to Heaven Denied is the best album to ever come out of Italy, and I've had it on repeat for almost a year now. Triosphere was unknown to me before buying a ticket, but they might honestly be the band I'm next most excited about. The...

Bought mine! This will be my first ProgPower. Return to Heaven Denied will be life changing. I also haven't heard anyone get hyped about Bloodbound, but I really like them. Triosphere I had never heard of and am already in love with. Great band! Definitely plenty of other great stuff on days...

Would be really cool to see Domine. I don't think those guys have ever played ProgPower.

2017 will be the first time I'll be able to go, so I'll throw in some hopes: HammerFall - since they've totally given up on North America Sunburst Eternal Champion (not quite the power of a lot of bands at this fest, but USPM is good too; alternatively: Visigoth) Labyrinth - special Return to...

Seems like a really strange business approach: sit on old records that will never earn another cent, or license them out and make a bit of money (and more importantly: make a lot of people happy). Also, unrelated but since I'm in here: My Dark Descent order just arrived today with your...

I was just on Metal-Archives and really surprised to see that Invocator's debut hasn't received a CD reissue (at least, not that I could see). I know it was discussed in this thread a few years ago, but anyone know anything about this album? Are the members not up for it? Or they can't be...

Stoked! I ordered the Apocalypse reissues (+ Midas Touch) on the weekend! Can't wait for these to arrive :D

Awesome! Thanks for clarifying! I feel really dumb for missing the fact that I've had another album + EP ever since the DFTL reissue came out :P

This is kind of a dumb question that I think I've asked indirectly before but wanted to clarify: I have both of your Grinder reissues, and wanted to know if the bonus tracks between both albums make up "The 1st EP" and "Nothing Is Sacred". More specifically, on Dawn of the Living, tracks 11-13...

How long do you think tickets will still be available for? I start classes that week, but I realized I might not have classes on Friday, so I'm hoping I can make it. Really want to see Scanner.
