ELVENKING must come !

[Saruman]

Actually I have no idea if this is even a possibility, but it would be extremely cool, and the band is definitely the finest progressive power metal band I've heard since Blind Guardian! Even as a measly opener, I would kill to see this band...

If you haven't heard them, check out some songs.
Seasonspeech
Under the Tree of Us'dum
Oakenshield
White Willow
Banquet of Bards

As for the other two bands...all I have to say is.. BAL SAGOTH!

They are a definitely a love-or-hate band, and I happen to love them. Some people might say they are black metal, but I think they certainly have some progressive and powerish elements to the music.

If you haven't heard them, get
A Tale from the Deep Woods
The Dark Liege of Chaos is Unleashed at the Ensorcelled Shrine of Azura-Kai (The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath the Blazon of the Hyperborean Empire Part 2)
Callisto Rising
Atlantis Ascendant

I would also love to see NEVERMORE, though their coming is probably unlikely since they already do US touring...

ELVENKING
BAL SAGOTH
NEVERMORE

Secure any of these bands and I shall be extremely happy (actually I am already very pleased with the roster...but one of these shall make me ecstatic )

I've heard that Bal-Sagoth is playing the Bloodstock Festival in the UK opening for Blind Guardian and Balance of Power and Freedom Call in August.

I agree!...reign in the Elvenking, he dwells lonely in his forest of pagan rituals and white willows...

"Then all the fouls stay silent
and the leaves end their fall
Suddenly i realize
the earth is breathing with me
and i cry.....
she is now my beloved bride"
