Harvester said:Yes. Your post the other day sent me scrambling to the phone. Vocal tracks are in the process of being recorded now. Your source deserves a punch to the face.

Harvester said:Andy Franck returns to the stage as Symphorce makes their North American debut with an exclusive date. "Tears" can be downloaded in the audio section.
Stride becomes the first band to jump from the pre-party to the main stage as an opening act. Their new album is due in October via Sensory Records. However, their disc will be available at the festival exclusively via The Laser's Edge. A new mp3 (different from the ProgPower V sampler) is located in the audio section.
The final headliners will be announced on March 8th.

Barking Pumpkin said:I guess he just said the announcement would make traditional prog fans happy, and I just jumped to the conclusion that it meant both bands were prog.
I'm still holding out for Ayreon.
Walter_Langkowski said:Right. Stride fits that category but Symphorce is about as Power Metal as they come, IMO.
Harvester said:Ayreon is not going to happen. It would take 50% of my budget to pull that off and that is with Arjen giving me a break.
