Palabra de Dios said:Another suggestion would be Therion.
It would be breaking the rule to have them at the main fest, but the Showcase does not have to adhere to the rules. It is about as close to a consensus as possible that Therion stole the show at PPVI, and they would get a huge response from a Thursday crowd eager to see this band who has only now done ONE American tour (and one PP).
Other suggestions from past PPs: Devin Townsend Band, Edguy, Orphaned Land, and Freak Kitchen (had to throw them in again sorry).
That would be sweet..though does anyone yet know how Snowy Shaw sings yet?

I mentioned in another thread that if Ensiferum played PP with another awesome band, I'd happily pay more money, even if all solo projects of N Sync played. I have realized the other band must be THERION.

Absolutely awesome news, Glenn and Shane! Best news I've read all weekend, and that thread title had me freaking out, too!
(Regarding Therion)
Please note that AFAIK, Mats Leven (lead singer at PP 2005) is still singing for Therion; Snowy is replacing Christofer on vox (growls).
I distinctly remember a LOT of nay-sayers and "Great! This will give me a chance to go buy CDs!" comments regarding Therion's slot before the event...and a lot of people who said later that they were really sorry they had chosen to go away during their set.
As their sponsor, I was keenly watching the comments beforehand. They'd been running negative (or ambivalent) enough that, right before their set started, I looked out from the side-stage curtain and was dismayed that only 4-500 people were in the "bowl." During their set I couldn't see too well from in front of the barricade, so I was startled after a song or two to hear an amazing amount of crowd-noise, cheering, 'Therion' chants, etc. I thought "Hot damn! For such small numbers, they sure are making a lot of noise!"
Afterward, Glenn confirmed that it was a pretty full house. *whew*
Financially I'd expect Therion to be a tough egg to crack for ProgPower itself, let alone the pre-par-- err, Showcase, but I'd loooove to see it.
Err, did someone mention Orphaned Land?
For me, FK, Mercenary or VD would all be welcome in 2008, too.
