PP USA IX: Replacement Band Announced

[Harvester]

Say hello to Sweden's Saint Deamon.







I would like to thank the 63 bands that took time to apply for the position. There is no way for me to reply to all of you with personal notes, but please note that I have filed away your contact information for the future. I'll also be passing them along to Shane for when the Showcase returns next year. I'd also like to thank all of the fans that took time to be involved with the process as well.

cheers,

Glenn

Awesome replacement, looking forward to seeing them. "in Shadows....." is a pretty decent album

 

[Sentinel]

One unknown out, another unknown in.

 

[J-Man]

Haven't heard them Oh Yeah I have, I love their singer, excellent voice. Kinda like Lance.

 

[Harvester]

Haven't heard them, but i have heard the buzz surrounding them.

I posted the video a while back and you participated in the thread.

Must be the old age....

 

[Rider of Theli]

*thumbs up* great choice! I sampled that video when you posted a few months ago.

Now I guess I'll have to break down and find some of their material sooner than later.

 

[General Zod]

Never heard of them.

Well I am definitely going to miss Serenity as I was really getting into that album.....

But I have to say I am digging this tune! Love the lead singers voice - definitely interested.. Nice one Glenn!

Gotta be the age and the time of the morning, and your so right, I have heard of them, but damn there is so much music posted here and so many bands to check out i do forget sometimes, just kick me in the ass when i do.

And i still stick by the post i made in the thread on Jan 15th concerning them, I Love the vocalist. Amazing voice.

 

[PatrickHoyt]

most excellent. Love the tune, can't wait to see what they bring live.

 

[Osiris' Eyes]

SWEET!!!

One of the groups I listed as a replacement...I've been listening to "In Shadows..." all week.

Thanks Glenn

Cheers

 

[Perditions Ghost]

I'm going to echo the "Great choice" statement that's already been said a few times.

 

[Cheiron]

I remember liking them when it was discussed in the past. I like what I've heard.

 

[MetalAges]

For those wanting more (link to come soon on the site) they have their full album available for listening: http://www.saintdeamon.se/media.html

Excellent stuff so far!

 

[PurpleCrayonWriter]

I remember when you posted info on these guys awhile back. I think I posted a comment that something about their vocals (on the song "My Heart") reminded me of Europe circa "Final Countdown." Killer vocals. Layered harmonies.

This is an unexpected, but very welcome choice. Bravo!

These guys have to feel very proud after overcoming over 60 other bands to land this coveted spot on the PPUSA IX roster. I can't wait to ask them!

Nice work, Glenn. A solid addition to an already stellar line-up.

[Stevie WOnder]

Don't know them but from the track you posted, I'm "prog snob" happy!!

Steve

ps: I know, they're not really prog but it sounds good.

 

[7thSaviour]

How would you classify this band?

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

I like them about as much as Serenity, 6 of one half a dozen of another.

 

[Stevie WOnder]

How would you classify this band?

Melodic metal maybe with some prog tendencies??

 

[ALowerDeep]

One unknown out, another unknown in.

Yeah never heard of them either, a bit surprised, I too thought it probably would end up being a more known band. I don't remember, was this band a 'hot' band from the fans suggestions, I scanned the recommendations but did see them there.
