Band #6 is confirmed.
- Thread starter Harvester
- Start date
Crosspost from PMX2:
I'm probably one of the few people (well, of the Americans, anyway) who's already seen Thunderstone live, and I'm telling you all, this is going to be the band that everyone comes home RAVING about how awesome they were, like Stride was last year. (yeah, yeah, there's always a handful of naysayers, but nobody pays attention to 'em anyway.)
I saw them open for Symphony X and Stratovarius about three years ago, not long after their first album had been released. I had no idea who they were; I was just there for the other two bands, and they kicked my ass all over the place. They're also incredibly nice people - if you've ever spent any time with the Evergrey guys, they're on that level of sociability and friendliness (and drunken antics).
You WILL enjoy their show. You can kick my ass afterwards if you don't. (Ben is exempted, because he doesn't like anything anyway.)

I have their first album which is fantastic; not crazy about the second one and have yet to fully digest the third. The festival is shaping up very nicely thus far. 5 out of 6 thus far for me (not a bad ratio). Now just throw in Labyrinth or Vision Divine and I'm set!!! Cheap plug every time I post, I know...

I hope they play Until We Touch the Burning Sun, that song kicks ass! So far this line-up is pretty damn good considering I like every band playing.

you forgot to tell the folks unfamiliar with Thunderstone that if they would like to hear more of their songs, to head over to Beyond Ear Candy and request like crazy!
Damn fine announcement Glenn! Keep 'em coming!

still would like to see them above Epica. great band, new cd is really good, first one is very Stratovariusish but still cool. Next two are better.

another "never heard before" band for me. However, their name is more promising than "freak kitchen."

Never even heard of them! But it sounds cool.. Man, If somebody told me it was a Masterplan song I would have believed! I am serious! The vocals are sooo similar to Jorn's!

This year's Prog Power seems to be a big "fan request" fest. Pyramaze has been spoken for by many people, and while it might not seem like it in this thread I can remember quite a few Thunderstone requests over the past three years. Epica is another band that alot of forum goers have been talking about recently and you cant get more Prog than Freak Kitchen.
This is going to be a very good year.
