I am going to guess this isnt our Mercenary

I have heard of very few of these bands, but it sounds interesting.

According to the event organizers, Tidal Wave is "like a picnic with metal, bring whatever you want. Dogs, food, coolers, cigarettes, mullets etc. are all OK. There is plenty of parking and toilets. There will be raffles for merch and stuff all day. Bring a few bucks to buy some tickets to help cover the cost of this free fest."

There are soooo many bands by that name ...

Actually, Eden (the keyboardist from Orphaned Land) used to have a brilliant progressive metal band called Mercenary, who recorded one of the best prog-metal discs I've ever heard. I totally love that disc - too bad they never got a deal for it.

Thanks Claus, I didnt know bands could have the same name to avoid confusion. Or is that only if u have a ridiculous amount of money and can sue anyone.

You have to register your name for each country, and that costs a lot of money.

Mordred is still around? Everyday's a holiday!

Flametal in the US? I was always intrigued by their style of music, though the album never really knocked me over.

It's a different Mercenary.

I saw that too, but as soon as I noticed it was free and I hadn't heard of any of the other bands I figured it wasn't 'our' Mercenary.

On a related note, we had a really shitty local top 40 rawk band named Threshold for rears here, which resulted in weird stares when I tried to explain what prog metal bands I'm into to people who wern't familiar with the scene.
