Bands you would love to see at Heathen Crusade

[Dark One]

Name and/or describe some bands you would love to see grace the stage of a future Heathen Crusade (regardless of perceived availability).

Some random bands:

Primordial (in a triumphant return)
Mael Mordha (see above)
Nae'blis
Malsain
November's Doom (a great suggestion any year the fest is held)
Ludicra
October Falls
Darkestrah
Dawn
Destroyer 666
Drudkh
Negura Bunget
Raventale
Root
Satyricon
Secrets of the Moon
Turisas
Waylander

For starters.

[Crafter]

Melechesh
SuidAkrA

 

[Dark One]

Solid choices - Melechesh would tear the roof IMO, much like Rudra last year.

 

[Necromunchkin]

I would entirely support all the bands mentioned. In an interesting twist, I think it would be great to see the re-united Sabbat (UK obviously) at Heathen Crusade. And for that matter, getting Sabbat (Japan) on the show would be most excellent as well.

I saw Melechesh live with Wolves in the Throne Room and Dark Forest in Calgary, Alberta last september. Fucking wicked, I'd love to see any of those bands again.

I'd like to have Dark Forest return to Heatehn Crusade. David Parks recorded my viking/folk metal bands (Eldgammel) EP last weekend, and he was afraid Heathen Crusade III wasn't going to happen when I asked him about it. I didn't get to go to Heathen Crusade before, but I think I'd make the trip from the great white north for the hird installment.

- Dark Forest
- Melechesh
- Wolves in the Throne Room
- Suidakra (Hell yes)
- Ensiferum
- Arkona (Rus)
- Tyr
- Moonsorrow
- Skyforger (Because I missed them last time, haha)
- Eluveitie
- Korpiklaani
- Turisas
- Kiuas
- Borknagar

Anything like these bands, really.

 

[MetalNations]

Good Choices people.

 

[The Limey]

All of the above would be amazing. The bands I would most like to see are;

Turisas (although the word is now they may be touring the US soon for the new album)
Borknagar
Asmegin (last I heard new album should be out late this year)
Ensiferum

Yet bringing back any of the last two years' headliners would be great. Love to see Moonsorrow, Thyrfing, Manegarm all again.

 

[The Limey]

Oh and of course Finntroll! So bitter they didn't come near us on their tour last month.

 

[valsgarde_guitarist]

Menhir
Eluveitie
Heidevolk
Manegarm (return)
Thyrfing (return)
Tyr
Thronar
Skyforger (return)
XIV Dark Centuries
Odroerir
Sworn
Aaskereia
Suidakra
Turisas

 

[JayKeeley]

On a two day event, with some repeats:

FRIDAY:
PRIMORDIAL (headlining)
Helrunar
Turisas or Korpiklaani
Negura Bunget
Gwynbleidd

SATURDAY:
DESTROYER 666 (headlining)
Agalloch
Mael Mordha
Novembers Doom
Slough Feg


Somehow AETERNUS need to be persuaded to play and stick to material from their first 3 albums only.

 

[Dark One]

Oh hell yeah, definitely add Gwynbleidd to my list. Slough Feg would always be welcome as well based on last year's show.

 

[JayKeeley]

Thing is, in reality, I'd love to see an HC where I don't know 50% of the bands. This music always works better live and you always discover some great talent at an HC fest.

I'd buy my tickets even before the roster was announced either way.

It is plenty of fun to discover - though I absolutely love being at one with the music because I know it so well. I honestly think either way works great, so your analysis is spot on for me.

I'd buy my tickets even before the roster was announced either way.

Yep - blind purchase bar none.

[Cheiron]

Yah these are the bands I want to see <looks above>. I need more of that heathen folk hehe =d

another is
http://www.myspace.com/arkonarussia

and Heidevolk !!!

Aesma Daeva would be sweet, since I couldnt catch them on their Therion tour. As well as Waylander ... be cool to finally see them and say 'hey I met you on Everquest'

hmm what else... Dark Moor, Cruachan

 

[JayKeeley]

Falconer

I'd agree if they were still called Mithotyn.

any of these except Dark Moor... they would not fit.

 

[EricT]

Primordial and Mael Mordha back to back. That'd make me squeal like a pig ALL WEEKEND.
