PPSCAN 2009 - next 2 bands announced - MERCENARY and LOCH VOSTOK

Claus / Intromental

20 years of uniting the powers of metal
Here are the next two bands for PROGPOWER SCANDINAVIA 2009:


MERCENARY is without any doubt one of Denmark's finest heavy metal bands, and further introduction almost seems unnecessary! But, for those that have been hiding under a rock for the last 10 years, let's just say that you won't make any mistake by checking out this extremely talented band, who are able to combine melo-death metal with powerful songs and technical abilities. Their live performance is a punch in the face that will leave you jaw-dropped, drooling, sweating and wanting more as soon as possible. There's a reason Mercenary has established themselves as one of the biggest heavy metal bands ever emerging from Denmark, and that reason can be witnessed on ProgPower Scandinavia 2009 in September.

If you say LOCH VOSTOK, you also say Avantgarde Melodic Progressive Death Metal. In Danish we have a saying: "a cute child is known by its many names", and did this saying ever have any relevance, then it sure has to be as a description of the Swedish band Loch Vostok. The band is hard to define within one genre, simply because they keep pushing the borders of all metal genres, and they do it so damn close to perfection. Throughout the years Loch Vostok has played several gigs in Copenhagen, in fact more than in their own home country, so with their 3rd album, "Reveal No Secrets", to be released in the spring, ProgPower Scandinavia could not only be sort of a "home-coming" for the band, but also a celebration of their musical endeavours and all things progressive.
