With Gamma Ray and Dragonforce in America at the same time, it seems kind of stupid that they couldn't get their shit together and be on the same tour. That would help fill venues, and even better, not cause the bands to cannibalize each other's business. Instead, you have Gamma Ray announcing their tour first, and Dragonforce touring with a bunch of mismatched openers. Oh well.
Protest the Hero: http://www.myspace.com/protestthehero
Sanctity: http://www.myspace.com/sanctity (there's a video and a player that both load so you need to pause at least one)
Sanctity's song annoys me with what seems to be a quiet vocal track that plays throughout and almost echos the singer. It sounded like I still had two songs playing at the same time and I kept checking to make sure I wasn't. Still, it's a fairly basic metal band.
I can't get the songs to play on the Protest the Hero myspace. I don't know if the stream is off another website but the links to dls on their mainsite is also down & their label doesn't have anything. However, they really look like a punk band. Looks can be deceiving but they seriously look like they would open for something like Yellowcard or Fall Out Boy.

If it stays like this - I think the Gamma Ray crowd will completely kill the Dragonforce crowd in terms of numbers

Speaking of Dragonforce... what's taking you so long to get these guys to a Prog Power? Ever since Prog Power V, I have been predicting Dragon Force and sorely being disappointed every time. They're such an obvious choice.

Not that I expect an Atlanta date to be added, but those dates totally preclude one unless it gets tacked on before Canada, or after a Western swing. Oh, well.

That is one hell of a week. I like Protest the Hero, but they're much more "modern" than Dragonforce. Odd bill, for sure.

I'm doing it just to piss you off. That, and the fact that the band just got their visa problems solved.

HA! You should be nicer to me. I might be bringing my friend and his girlfriend to their first ever Prog Power for VII
Of course, considering you sell out every year... I don't know if I'd just be taking away a regular's opportunity to get tickets in time.And I don't care how predictable it seems. Dragonforce HAVE to come to Prog Power one year.
