I hadn't seen a mention of Cold Colours on the bill before... they released a great cd a bunch of years back, and then dropped off the face of the planet. Glad to see they're still together, even if I can't make it out to see the show.

 

[Iced Ray]

That is an awesome replacement. Very good line up overall.

this is going to be one big event. this fest is not to be missed. Of course ProgPower is the main one to hit.....
But you can not miss TANKARD, OMEN, HELSTAR, JAG PANZER, STEEL ATTACK, GAIA EPICUS and other great acts.... *Shameless Plug*

Helstar has the original lineup from the Remnants of War album. James Rivera, Larry Barrigan, Rob Trevino, Jerry Abarca and Russell Deleon. Russell was not the original drummer but was a member of Helstar. He replaced Frank Ferrera when Frank left right after Nosferatu. The band I think is supposed to play Remnants of War in its entirety.

I was trying to find out the other day... what period of Helstar Joel was a part of.. but couldn't find much (and which albums he would have appeared on).

Joel just filled in on some live dates, most notably Helstar's 2001 performance at Germany's "Bang Your Head!!!" Festival; he isn't on any albums but appears on the BURNING ALIVE DVD from that show...

You going to be there selling? You've always got some cool stuff, and we'll need some new tunes for the ride back, I'm sure...

I *wish* we didn't have a show Saturday night, so I could be there to see them...

 

[Pelata]

Damn. I'd like to be at that show...

 

[Exploding Ned]

No sorry eaeolian, I have a show in the southeast that weekend or I would definately have considered it. So Division is playing there, hope that works out well for you guys.
