Solitude Aeturnus

[TychoCelchu]

I'll jump on the "would you like to see ________ at PP8?" wagon with Solitude Aeturnus. One of the absolute best bands, but seem to have been pushed to the background by the prevailing winds of today's metal scene. But with (finally) a new album out in just a few short weeks, maybe their recognition will come back?

Now, do you think they'd fit at a fest like ProgPower? Hell, I'd love to see them ANYWHERE.

 

[Flavio CotM]

Awesome band

 

[BenMech]

If you vote no, you have bad ears

 

[AngraRULES]

Good band, but PLEASE enough with the polls!!!

 

[Palabra de Dios]

I voted no because this is a Progressive and Power metal festival, not a doom metal festival.

I love traditional doom metal (Saint Vitus, Reverend Bizarre, and Solitude Aeternus are great examples), but it ain't prog or power, so it doesn't fit this bill.

I voted for the first two options.

that's respectable. They should do another tour with Candlemass once those guys get their singer situation squared away.

Kick ass band, that has some progressive moments, and some powerful songs. I think they'd fit great.

Having seen them several times, I think they'd go over very well with the PP crowd.

I'm actually digging these polls for bands. It's kinda like following approval ratings for politicians, only more exciting.

If our Fearless Leader saw fit to book these guys, I'd do sexual things to him that are probably illegal in seventeen states.

It's a little difficult to thrill a guy who's been with an inflatable sheep.

Does ANYONE still have a picture of that?

On the plus side, he does have Balls of Steel!



I voted SA as "not quite appropriate for the bill".......but they'd be a great choice for the Pre-Pa-- Showcase!

Explain, in terms that have nothing to do with artificial scene labels, what this really means in musical terms.

Surely you're not saying a band has to have totally wimpy frilly-shirted melodies, or nonstop double bass w/ Kiskeske wailing, or they don't fit at all. [/strawman]

 

[Mosquito]

Down Jim Down! No worries, his tastes are actually the same as yours/pauls/mine/bens, though he does love power metal too. =p

 

[Firehead]

Goddammit, fucking A yes!

 

[Imagikafan]

I'd love to see Solitude Aeturnus at PP!

BTW, for those "in the know," Lyle (from SA) has re-started his more recent band Ghoultown.... Totally different sound -- gothabilly, and really entertaining to boot.
