I remember doing it a few times. I even remember the band I suggested........Annihilator. This time I had numbers to back up my argument.....and the numbers don't lie.
2nd band for 2013: ELDRITCH
- Thread starter Diabolik
- Start date

Many of us here are in the know Mike.
Iced Earth wouldnt be an odd ball or out of line.
I am talking about if a nu metal or death metal or such were booked to appeal to those who dont care about the fest.

Iced Earth would have been awesome, and everything you said Mike would have been perfect. I'm down for a much larger band name and that you'll do it in the good/right taste to fit the festival. I know you're not going to go book Dimmu Borgir or anything 
You miss Chicago Powerfest that much??
HAHAHAHAHA so true. Even with the bad line ups. I always had fun there and stuff. Really well run festival actually. Just some bad booking ideas.

Yeah, I actually don't think Iced Earth would be out of place. Hell, I don't really think Eldritch is out of place, but some will look at them playing Progpower and will label them as being out of place. Having seen them, their live show to me is more in line of seeing a thrash band than a prog band.

I never remember that suggestion. God, I would love for them to play the fest.

Annihilator would be a very smart booking as they haven't played a proper US show in a very long time.
That would definitely draw in some new attendees.

So two pages on this booking, but no one excited for this has posted any samples????????
@ Simon - What are some recommended tracks?

I like that one song they did about global warming. You know, ALL OF THEM.
They did a pretty good Fates Warning cover on their last album, now that I think of it.

If you get a chance, I'd check out their latest, Gaia's Legacy. Yes, it's a concept album based on the global warming problem, heavily influenced by Al Gore's documentary.... if you're not a fan of it, get past the theme and enjoy the music. Really good stuff, heavy/thrashy progressive power metal...
After that, check out El Nino (nothing to do with the last one, lol) and Neighbourhell...

And, if you want something totally different... Blackened Day:

I by no means am the biggest Eldritch fan in the world. They are one of those bands that really surprised me live. Most things on Headquake or El Nino is good. One album no one talks about that I actually like quite a bit is Reverse, and from that album, I love Leech. Unfortunately, I can't find a sample.
I actually am not fond of the new one, and it has nothing to do with the lyrical content. It just leaves me cold for some reason.
