It's with great pleasure we can now announce the next two bands for PROGPOWER SCANDINAVIA 2009:
Headliner for the first night of our main-event will be Swedish doom metal kings CANDLEMASS (www.candlemass.se). 10 full length albums, a live album, a couple of live DVDs and a bunch of EPs, into their career and they are sounding better than ever, a statement to which the new album "Death Magic Doom" (their second with American vocalist Robert Lowe) serves as bullet-proof evidence. Although Candlemass isn't exactly power or progressive metal, we feel that their heavy-as-hell blend of classic metal infused riffs and doom-stomping beats makes them the prime example of how genre-descriptions doesn't really matter - it's all about the quality! We're sure that any open minded music fan will be able to embrace this fantastic band and enjoy witnessing them headline the first night of PP Scan 2009.
As second band on Saturday 26th of September Swedish/Norwegian melodic power metallers SAINT DEAMON (www.saintdeamon.se) will be performing. Built on the ashes of power metal band Dionysus, Saint Deamon continues with a highly melodic blend of heavy metal, hard rock and powerful metal, musically somewhere between Hammerfall, Europe, Dream Evil and Royal Hunt. A total feast for all fans of big melodies and sing along choruses.
The remaining two bands will be announced in a few weeks ...

Awesome. I say that just after saying I don't want non-prog/power bands to headline PP USA, but I still think that Candlemass can kind of fit... they are sort of progressive doom at times .... whatever, great band. I hope you find success.

Candlemass is an excellent band ... hopefully some of the prog and power fans that aren't too familiar with them will give them a chance. They might actually like what they hear.
Not to pick nits but check the spelling of the word "proof" in the release .. slight typo there.

Ok Matt,
we promise you that the last 2 bands we book are going to be extremely crappy bands, so you can have time to drink at least once per night, hahaha

I must say that the lineup is pretty damn cool so far!! I'm not a big fan of Pretty Maids or Candlemass, but again, it's not all about the headliner.
Very good job Claus!

Agree that Fairyland is a really girly name, BUT they kick ass (or he does, I guess I should say).
...so here's the whole weekend of September 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th:
24th: pre-party with Fairyland, Anubis Gate and Leprous.
25th: PP Scan with Candlemass, Freak Kitchen, etc.
26th: PP Scan with Pretty Maids, Mercenary, etc
27th: Dream Theater + Opeth in Copenhagen!!!
Is there anything holding you back from buying your tickets to Denmark right away?

Hard-sell tactics like this are kinda illegal in my country, Lars.
I wanna come to this pretty badly.
