welcome.to
Note that I only included bands that feature some clean vocals. Necrophagist, Spawn of Possession, Psycroptic, Martyr, etc. are not eligible because it is my understanding that Glenn would not book this type of band for PPUSA, which is understandable given his core audience.

Aghora, they are friends of mine, really humble, nice people and great musicians. Totally deserve the exposure. :rock:
 
I'd love to see Cynic as well, but I assumed Glenn would not book them due to the death/vocoder combo vocals.

I don't consider Spheric Universe Experiment to be complex/tech. They're more in the standard prog metal realm to me. I realize that everyone has a different threshold or definition for complex or technical music.

Some Zero Hour tunes would qualify them for this category, IMO, but they have played the fest three times now, so I omitted them.

I realize the metalcore elements of Protest the Hero would not go over well in these parts, but they also have a large helping of progressive thrash (think Toxik and Realm) in their sound. Their songs are quite catchy as well. I love em.
 
This one is easy for me...

Unexpect! :notworthy :notworthy

Ever since We, Invaders! took me by surprise at the beginning of the year (including Novae becoming one of my all-time top 10 songs), and then with In a Flesh Aquarium firmly sitting at the top of my discs of the year... there has not been a single band I want to see more play live (from the videos I have seen... they are amazing live too!)

This is how i like my music... complex, different, giving me something new... plus masterfully written...

So for the ones who haven't heard them... this is more less how I would describe them (although I just recomend to listen to their cd)....

Symphonic Mr. Bungle meets Arcturus meets DEP meets Therion meets death,black,thrash meets any music genre you can think of (in the last record it includes tango :Smokin: ) www.unexpect.com

I know this is probably too chaotic for Glen to book... but who knows.... look at how well the oddball bands have done the last few years... therion, orphaned land, freak kitchen....

cynic trancends the death/vocoder vox tabu because of their legendary status
