Unfortunately for you, it's a fairly safe bet that they won't be. Especially since they're regularly touring bands & they're also from the states...so the lack of novelty to boot won't get your ass here...I'm certain of it.

So...there's always 2010.

You gotta admire honesty this refreshing. This is great news for me, though, because I prefer US bands over European bands most of the time.

Nevermore fits that description, and I'd walk to Chicago for Nevermore.

... so the lack of novelty to boot won't get your ass here...I'm certain of it.

Ironically, you've already delivered the novelty... Kiuas. I love Reformation. And truthfully, I'm not looking for novelty. Granted, someone like Eyefear would be awesome. But I also recognize that flying five guys in from Australia, who won't draw flies, makes little business sense.

So...there's always 2010.

Given that I flew to Sweden last year, in large part for Primordial, it's a fair bet I'll make it to Chicago for Primordial, Moonsorrow, Novembers Doom, Kiuas, MWC and Korpiklaani. It's already a very solid weekend. I'm just a greedy bastard and I'm hoping for a little more icing on my cake.

FYI...they're doing nothing but writing...no shows in any near future...not in the states anyway.

OK. Yeah... I know you're a fan, so I expected they'd be high on your list. Plus, it would seem they would be a perfect fit, in both style and popularity for what you guys are doing.

Some guesses:

Over Kill
Jag Panzer
Exodus
Warbringer
Obituary
Arsis
Cannibal Corpse

Wishes:
Forbidden
Powermad

But like General Zod said, I'm happy with the line up so far, and everything else is just gravy.

 

[Will Bozarth]

bring on the alcohol, then

 

[General Zod]

Some guesses:

Overkill

That would be my guess as well, and quite possibly Symphony X.

Exodus & Warbringer are already on tour with Kreator at this time. I think Cannibal Corpse is also (or just finished a tour).

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Morbid Angel - god I hope not, but they arent regularly touring
Pestilence - they have been touring since reforming or at least I think
Anthrax
Chimaira
Down

 

[axehomeyg]

Zod

I would shit 2^10th kittens if Symphony X played.

You don't like Morbid Angel?!

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

You don't like Morbid Angel?!

Not a fan of Death Metal in general. I mean I like Prog Death and Melo Death but not regular Death.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Morbid Angel is on another side of Death Metal than "regular death". but eh, ok

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Morbid Angel is on another side of Death Metal than "regular death". but eh, ok

What kind of death are they then?

 

[Will Bozarth]

not the generic urgleburgleburgleturgle kind. I don't know what to throw MA under.
