BlackRose, this looks to be a great festival idea! I wish that I could attend, but just can't pull it off. I hope it sells out and does really well!

Thanks, Brian. I hope Nathan and I can keep this going for a long time! Maybe next year you will be able to make it up to St. Paul to check it out!

There are some decent bands on that list (well, I like Todesbonden and Luna Mortis), but I don't think I could go to an all female-fronted fest. You can color me sexist (I really swear I'm not), I just prefer male singers 9 out of 10 times in my metal. Female voices just don't always have the, well (for lack of a better term), BALLS that I look for in the best of heavy metal.

Thanks for your comment/feedback.

I wouldn't call you sexist for having a preference in vocals. I prefer female vocals, you prefer male vocals, and that's ok. Everyone has their preferences. (If you were to say "women can't singe metal" or "female singers aren't metal" ... that's when it becomes sexist.)

There actually isn't one band on our bill that falls into the typical "symphonic operatic" vocal style that is generally associated with female vocals in metal. (Todesbonden is the closest thing and even they don't fit into that category fully.)

If you are looking for female vocalists with more "BALLS," I think you may be surprised at some of the other bands on our bill - Benedictum, A.D.D. and Blood Corps in particular. If there are bands on the roster you haven't checked out yet, I really recommend giving them a try/listen.

I'd love to...maybe so. I didn't realize Nathan had a hand in this as well. He's a good guy!

Freak Near-Death Mishap Knocks Blood Corps Out of Line-Up
Idaho’s Melodic Goth-Metal Band Rott Tapped To Open 2009 Flight of the Valkyries Metal Fest

St. Paul, Minnesota – Flight of the Valkyries, America’s premiere female-fronted metal fest – the first of its kind in the U.S. – was forced to make a last-minute change when Blood Corps, an up-and-coming band from Virginia, experienced a brush with death.

More details in the FotV forum:

Check out the news, the new band added to the roster and get your tickets soon!

Looking forward to seeing you all in June!

The first time I read this, I thought Freak Near-Death Mishap was the name of a band that took over for Blood Corps. Glad to hear everyone was OK in the band was OK.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking, too. Glad everyone's okay.


Hmm, Freak Near-Death Mishap IS actually a pretty kewl name for a band......

If that is the name of an actual band, I want to hear what they sound like.

I told Blood Corps that the important thing was that they were all ok, which means we will be able to have them back another year.
