Elvenking Discussion

Wyrd is highly underrated by Elvenking fans btw.
Its a good album, with some fairly progressive songs (for them) on it, while still having their energy. I think the singer is pretty good, the flack against him is mostly since he isn't of that rougher style that Damnagoras (and Skyclad) had.. I think this album might be favored by many in the ProgPower community.

oh noes!!
No Oakenshield either probably...
I would make the suggestion to them that they really should try to balance their set out, though I guess they do only have an hour. I would just play 2-3 songs off the new album...one from TWW and the rest from Heathenreel honestly.

They have about 45 minuites, in all honesty, I would bet their setlist is composed of the following:
Intro
Pagan Purity
Regality Dance*
The Silk Delimma/Jigsaw Puzzle
The Wanderer
Trows Kind/Swallowtail
The Winter Wake
The Divided Heart
The Scythe
another Scythe song
*I special requested this one from the band. I don't know if they'll play it, but I'd joygasm if they did.

Seriously, everything else is icing on the cake for me - Elvenking is THE reason to be there, as they're one of my top 10 artists. I love everything they've done (Wyrd is the lowest ranking for me, though). Put in a sponsorship bid for them, would be VERY honored to be able to say I helped getting them over here. Probably more honored than I would be for some "big" names.
I don't know if anyone else did, but you know how the video had the clip from The Divided Heart playing for maybe a second or two before the Elvenking logo popped up? Yeah, I was jumping and screaming from the moment the song hit (as opposed to the majority of the people I saw, who didn't cheer until the logo popped up). Not sure if any of you saw me (except for dcowboys, who I know was right next to me). I love these guys (and was quite disappointed not to be able to find any of their CDs at any of the vendors. I assume I was too late and missed them).
Can't wait. Everyone else on the bill could cancel at the very last minute except Elvenking and it'd still be worth it for me.
Not saying I want that to happen, though, as there are a few other bands I'd like to see.

I'll be as giddy as drunken school girl when I hear "THE WINTER WAKE" belched out from the Progpower stage!

I've counted these guys as one of my absolute favorite bands since the first disc. I'm a proud owner of a leaked copy of The Scythe, and I'd like to let all of you know that it is going to blow your minds. Seriously, any disc that goes from the HIMesque Divided Heart immediately to the heavily folk track Totenanz has my vote. They pull everything off amazingly well, and I've already used it to turn a few friends into die-hard fans as well. If you haven't fallen in love with any of their albums yet, don't give up until you're heard The Scythe.

I know nussing about this band. Where do I turn to begin to prepare myself for their set at PPUSA IX?

Of course I will, on Nov 6th. I'm just impatient. I promise, I'm not one of those "this is my favorite band that I've stolen everything from" people. Just trying to provide some advance info about an album that will easily be top 10 for many people this year.

I'm embarrassed to say it, but while I thought I was a folk-metal (and folk prog) junkie, I had not heard Elvenking till they were announced for PP. I've been trying to round up discs from some of the bands I'm unfamiliar with, and ended up with heathenred cheap! I am really digging this album and kicking myself for not finding them earlier. Oh well. I've got to start hunting down others, but I'm glad that I got the one most people seem to think is the best.
