5 must see bands

[Diabolik]

so if you could list 5 bands you would love to see live this year....who would it be.

- no bands who are broken up. As if they were playing tomorrow in your city.
- current line up.
- no band that doesnt play shows.
- no dream set list.
- can be from any country.
- just 5, dont do honorable mentions and anything stupid like that.

1. Demon
2. Metal Inquistitor
3. Crystal Eyes
4. Stormwitch
5. In Solitude

 

[Will Bozarth]

My Dying Bride is the last of my "dream bands" that are still around and I need to see.

 

[modernwizardry]

Witchcraft
Black Bonzo
Horisont
Graveyard
Gamma Ray (again!)

I have a ton more but these are at the top.

 

[Jasonic]

Wow, just 5?
Ok, I am going to limit this then to bands that I haven't seen live yet.

- OMEN
- GRAVE DIGGER
- FATES WARNING (yep, late to the party on this one)
- MY DYING BRIDE
- PAGAN ALTAR

4. Stormwitch

Wow....didn't think they were still around.
Stronger Than Heaven was a great album.

yeah....they have new material and have been playing them live for a while now. They dont do big tours and stuff but they are active and do lots of festivals. They have tons of good disc....thier later output hasnt been as strong but still a great band.

Post some samples homeboy!

 

[nomisofsiman]

Saxon would be on this list, but considering they're set to play Chicago I won't include them.

My others are:
My Dying Bride
Grave Digger
Solitude Aeturnus
Draconian
Rhapsody of Fire

 

[Vegetaman]

Grave Digger
Solitude Aeturnus

Some good choices there... For me, even though I've seen some of these bands before, I just can't get enough sometimes:

1. Candlemass
2. Solitude Aeturnus
3. Dream Evil
4. Headless Cross (Tony Martin's "let's go around playing mostly Black Sabbath material" thing)
5. King Diamond

I left some others off because I can't seem to find out if some of them play live or not.

Haha I was about to say that Rats in the Attic was my favorite tune by Stormwitch.

5. King Diamond

How the FUCK did I forget the King?!!! I guess probably because it seems like he's inactive at the moment. Yeah, he would actually be my number one if he was currently active right ahead of MDB.

 

[Diabolik]

here you go Jason....

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Agalloch (moved away from the Southeast once they did a tour down there)
Falconer
Ulver
Rhapsody of Fire
My Dying Bride (also)

And as big a black and death metal fan as I am, I've seen most of my black and death metal heroes (Bolt Thrower, Celtic Frost, etc.) And the rest don't exist any more.
