Ancient Rites, Metsatoll (Estonia) and others confirmed...

[Will Bozarth]

I don't know any of these bands... but I didn't know most of the bands from last year's, either. I'm sure the fest will be amazing even if we have no idea who these bands are.

 

[Dmanx Pit]

Indeed. Add in Haaska & Kylän Päässä as well for my ultimate setlist.

For the Canadian tour last year they actually opened I think with kuin ikuinen! I wouldn't mind sitting through about half of the new song if they played those 2 as well. Versiakeet was out when Moonsorrow played HC 1, but they only played stuff off Kivenkantaja and Strength & Honor. THAT was an insanely good setlist.

They played only 5 songs, they werent the headliners, but they were really amazing, easily the best band of the night in my opinion, very epic.. their setlist was
Sankarihauta
Ukkosenjumalan Poika
Pakanajuhla
Sankaritarina
and Jotunheim!!!

Fuck yeah, that's tight. And as a headliner they'd easily be able to add some other favorites to the arsenal.

I'm pretty sure they played "Pimeä". What's Strength and Honor?

 

[JayKeeley]

Personally, I think all the whiners need to silence themselves.

oh stop your whining.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Touche.

 

[Dark One]

Voimasta ja Kunniasta

Can't say that I'm familiar with Ancient Rites but I checked out some of their stuff and they good. Still would love to see Skyforger get to headline this year though.

They co-headlined last year.

 

[Dark One]

And a sigh of relief is breathed.

 

[Reign in Acai]

And Maggotcrusher would have been there had Corey Taylor not been in town.

 

[Maggotcrusher666]

I was there. And my username is the title of an Impaled Nazarene song.

I lol'd.

Here's hoping for Rvbicon material from Ancient Rites.

 

[Maggotcrusher666]

So are returning headliners out of the question then?

 

[MetalNations]

I did not say that.... Repeats are good this year.

 

[Maggotcrusher666]

k my bad seemed like you were shooting them down for some reason. I suppose the way I worded it could make it sound like they didn't get to headline last year.

 

[MetalNations]

Wraithian is off of the bill. Hate to see them leave, but things happen.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Any idea if there will be more band announcements by the time the sponsorship deadline rolls around?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]
