Ouch..... I have to say that this is a pretty Skinny festival :S....... veryfew big names...
Anyhoo.... I hope you guys that go leave us some reports on how the bands were.

 

[Chris Lotesto]

Perhaps the "names" aren't there but the hunger and intensity
will be....I guarantee the fest will be worth every penny, no one
will leave disappointed and many will be very sorry they missed
this.

I think the bands that are playing this year are amazing. Every year I go to this festival, I find a new favorite band haha. Chris and Rob always know how to put a killer festival on, and to get killer bands. The best thing about these festivals is that it showcases some up and coming bands, along with some big name bands. This gives fans of metal an outlet to see some bands that they might not have seen before, or maybe not taken the chance on. Trust me, everyone of these festivals I've been to has never dissappointed myself, or anyone I've talked to. So if some people are worried because they don't see the biggest names in metal right now, trust me these bands will probably be the biggest names in metal soon. Chris and Rob know how to pick 'em.

Hmmmmmm... I think when these are names of bands that play a ton of the European festivals including Wacken, Gods of Metal, Sweden Rock, Rock Hard, etc... that's about as big as you get for non-mainstream metal. Especially when these fests get between 10,000 to 40,000 people in attendance.
