Kiuas!!!!!!!!!

SUPER OVER RATED. not a bad band, but waaayyyyy over hyped. I cant see why people catagorize them as folk inspired....there is zero folk in thier songs.

Neither can I, but they are one of the best bands I've discovered inthe past several years.

 

[Diabolik]

the vocals are a little annoying but not a bad band. I still want to know why they are grouped in the folk metal genre? Other than thier album art there is zero folk in it.

 

[Diabolik]

Really, I have that disc and cant hear a single folk inspired note in it? It was sold to me as a folk metal act.....I got home and was like...HUH???? Not a bad band, just not what was hyped and sold as.

 

[Jasonic]

Folk is getting more notoriety.
Expect more and more bands to get misclassified as such.
Look at how many genres have been used to classify Novembers Doom?

 

[Diabolik]

I think the only reason they get labels as folk is because on thier first disc there was folk inspired artwork.

They should change their name to Novembers Folk, just to keep up with the times

Novembers Core

I have such a good comeback for this one..
I think I will email it to Bob instead!!!

 

[es156]

I forgot about...

Pagan's Mind
Masterplan

Excellent choices.

Threshold would be good and I would like to see Solitude Aeturnus again as well.

 

[Machine of Hate]

if you guys ever feel like booking a DM band, get Immolation.

 

[Jasonic]

Pagan Altar
Pentagram
Gates of Slumber
DoomSword
Spritus Mortis
Electric Wizard

 

[Jasonic]

Oh, and YES! For those keeping score, PAGAN ALTAR are my ELVENKING and TURISAS....

 

[Machine of Hate]

They tour a lot.


Get DISMEMBER instead!!!

while i will not say no to Dismember, Immolation fucking OWN live

 

[wildfyr]

Nice to see the other requests for a Solitude Aeturnus replay. Cool!

Here's my reunion wish, a long shot for sure but...

A Savatage set would ruleth.

 

[Jasonic]

If Prog Power hasn't gotten Oliva to do a full blown Sava-reunion, I don't think it would happen for Chicago Powerfest.

 

[Machine of Hate]

i think everyone here will be agree with me when i say...





HEATHEN

 

[Jasonic]

No....I can do without HEATHEN.
I think the US festival circuit has seen enough of one-off reunion gigs...

There are so many great young metal bands here in the states that are gaining attention. If an older band is active (IE - new studio album) then that's one thing.

Though I guess if there is a lot of demand for a reunion gig, then business will always prevail I suppose.

 

[Diabolik]

Well Heathen are working on a new disc...so....HEATHEN!!!!!

 

[Machine of Hate]

at least one person agrees with me!
