Heaya Mike, yeah a pity i wasn't there this year.
The rest of the bands?.....well, overall it was a very good festival considering i didn't knew half the bands before. The first three bands on day 1 one were not really my cup of tea (we even left halfway the set of Throes of dawn, which was the weakest part of the entire weekend) but ok, just a bit of average metal music. The best surprise (ah well, knew it already after all the stories at PP usa) was Orphaned Land, great -live- band.
On day 2 we started with The Aurora Project, a typical sympho band, not bad but during the first 25 minutes i sometimes i had the feeling of falling asleep, just too mellow. The second big surprise that weekend was Dynamic Lights, great live performance from this talented band from Italy. I assume you know the rest of tha bands that played that day?
Overall a very great festival
