PP USA VII: Band #7 & #8 confirmed

[AngraRULES]

Not to mention that Vision Divine RUUUUUUUUUUUULES big time! Thanks to some people in this board (especially nightwish58) I got to discover them a few months ago and now I'm a big fan of their work as well! Killer Killer Killer!

However....

Aren't they a little bigger than Thunderstone (or almost even Epica) to be getting only a 2nd slot? (Note that I am NOT criticizing Glenn's choice, I'm just wondering if there's anymore people that share the same thought I have).

 

[TBJ]

Even though I am not a fan of any of the mentioned bands, I will hold my desicion untill I see who's Headlining...although Mercenary and Vision Divine are interesting choices...

 

[zekeyou]

That Mercenary is a niiice addition....

 

[Ascension]

Hhhmm... 2 oddballs this year? Mercenary (Death Metal) & Freak Kitchen (Melodic Metal). The pickings must be getting slim. I could think of plenty of bands that should be at this festival besides some that have been announced...especially these 2. I am definitely hoping that the last 2 announced are big...or this year I'll have to skip. I know I know...you can't please everyone. But, I'm betting alot will be disappointed unless the last 2 are "have to see's".

But it could be

 

[AngraRULES]

I understand your point.... But last year apparently we had two oddballs as well isn't it? (Orphaned Land and Pink Cream 69)

 

[MetalAges]

Funny thing is, I think Freak Kitchen is one of the bands people will come away this year saying, "What the hell just happened!?" - I can't wait to see IA on the guitar if ANYthing!

 

[J-Man]

HOLY SHIT OH BOY< WOOOOHOOOOOO what else is there to say except OH MAster Glenn what else do you have for us I BOW TO YOUR GREATNESS.

 

[urinalcakemix]

Glenn, I hope you did the noble deed, and put it in Vision Divines contract that they MUST. MUST. MUST. Close thier set with their cover of Ah-ha's "Take on Me".

If not, there will be hell to pay

Good stuff here Glenn, cant wait to see the headliners!

Yep...you're right & I was pretty perturbed with that line up too. Especially after seeing the lackluster performances & thinking of the bands I'd rather be seeing. Swore I wouldn't go to another minimal talented show as that again.

 

[zekeyou]

I thought Orphaned Land was the best set of 4 ProgPowers I'd attended. Minimalistic talent? Lackluster performance?

And a handful of growling does not a death metal band make....(Mercenary)

 

[Prog Maiden]

Wow, I haven't listened to Vision Divine since Fabio sang for them... but I am more than happy about seeing Mercenary again.

 

[nailz]

Excuse me while I shit my pants for 7 months. In a good way.

A hearty FUCKING THANK YOU. To glenn.

Damn, dude...what a freakin' buzzkill you can be...

 

[Dragongrrrl]

Mercenary...OH HELL YEAH!!!

 

[guardian26]

MERCENARY!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAH!!! EXCELLENT! This bandf alone makes PP7 worthwhile for me.

 

[YtseJammer]

Not for nothing, but shouldn't Vision Divine be a 4 and Mercenary a 2? The Olaf Thorsen factor alone (that is, his history with Labyrinth) makes VD higher than a 2.

Food for thought.

 

[The_Kinslayer]

I'll have to offer a rare dissenting opinion and say that I'm not too excited about the recent announcements. I'm also a little suprised that Thunderstone is big enough to be a third slot and Mercenary is considered to be big enough for the 4th slot. Nevertheless, a solid line-up once again. Just not exactly to my tastes.

 

[1Time]

Well that does it for me...I'm in with Mercenary on the show. 11 Dreams is one of my favorite albums to come out recently.

 

[nailz]

A reminder to all of you mercenary fans... a new album will be out during this "tour".

I agree with you, even though I like Mercenary a lot better!! But yeah, I was really shocked when I saw Vision Divine at number 2.. I think they are the biggest band announced so far.. Maybe not Epica, but still! they are right up there!
