    It was time for the annual trip down to ATL for a few days of Metal Heaven :)

    Thursday Night:
    Manticora
    Gamma Ray
    Helloween

    Gamma Ray was really awesome; they put on a great show!



    Helloween was pretty good. I enjoy a couple they played off Keeper 2, like Dr. Stein and Eagle Fly Free.

    Friday:
    Pathosray
    Elvenking
    Andromeda
    Iron Savior
    Riverside
    Amorphis

    And now for the night I'd been waiting for... Got into the venue as soon as I was allowed and took a spot on the railing, front left. An hour and 1/2 later, Pathosray took the stage and they exceeded my expectations of how they would sound live. The sound mix was great and the vocals were spot on ! Excellent set.





    Next, the second band I'd been waiting for - Elvenking. They opened with ÇalThe Scythe, which was SO awesome. It was great being right up front ! They also played Infection and ÇalThe Divided Heart from The Scythe :)

    Didn't get into Andromeda or Iron Savior. Riverside, however, were very good and I picked up a couple of their cds later on.





    Didn't care for Amorphis, but the video announcement for next year's band was worth the wait. You can see the video here: http://progpowerusa.com/

    Saturday:
    Saint Daemon
    Spheric Universe Experience
    Rob Rock
    Mustasch
    Jon Oliva's Pain
    Iced Earth

    I like Saint Daemon and they put on a great show. Lots of great melody lines to sing along with and the looked like they were having a blast.



    Did not get into Spheric Universe Experience much, but they were interesting to watch.



    The surprise of the night was Rob Rock. I hadn't even checked him out since announced as a replacement band, but I really like them and picked up a cd. Great voice and catchy music.



    Mustasch was the "oddball" band of the fest, so guaranteed to be an interesting set to watch. Nice heavy stuff, and the singer was having a great time and very glad to be there.

    The highlight of the night for me was Jon Oliva's Pain, mostly for hoping for some Savatage tunes! This man is a legend and did not dissapoint! The lead guitarist was incredible and you could tell he really felt the music. They did several Savatage tunes, and finally did ÇalHall of the Mountain King as the encore song - AMAZING. He sang it great, with all the little screams in all the right places :)





    And the final band of the night and of the fest was Iced Earth. After an extremely long 1 1/2 hour set changeover (yawn...), they finally began. I stayed for the entire thing just to say that I did.





    And that was the end of another great time in ATL with all my METALHEAD friends..........'till next year, stay METAL!

  • ProgPowerUSA IX Part 1

    10 Eki 2008, 04:09 yazan Caymanscubaman

    ProgPowerUSA September 26-27 2008 (and the 25th!)



    This year I finally was able to attend the ninth annual Progressive and Power Metal festival in my hometown of Atlanta. Over the years, some of the biggest and best bands from around the world have come for a weekend of music and fun and I cannot believe this was my first one!



    Without even considering the festival aspect, I bought tickets almost a year ago because Riverside was playing. Over the last couple of years this Progressive Rock band from Poland has become one of my top favorites and they planned a rare US appearance at ProgPowerUSA IX.



    Once the tickets were in hand, I began investigating the other bands on the bill. As I listened, some I have come to love, like Andromeda and Amorphis while others were not my cup of tea. That I was going to see several bands I enjoyed, all at the same place in one weekend was irresistible.



    Never having been, I was blown away by the atmosphere and the people. The Center Stage Theater in Atlanta is a perfect venue for such an event. Capacity is about 1100 and every seat has a great view. Dim lighting and couches surrounding the arena gave the place a feeling of a nightclub or private party. Music fans from all over met and got to know each other, bands would come and join the social atmosphere.



    When time for the signings came, fans lined up, met the bands and walked away happy with autographs and pictures. No security, no hassles. Inside the show, there were no fights, no mosh pits just a lot of rock and great fun. This was one of the most well behaved crowds in my concert going career, which now numbers in the thousands of shows.



    Bryn, Lisa and I made the 12+ hour trip without a hitch. Jon Freeman at SPV (thanks, bro!) hooked us up with tickets for the Hellish Tour, whose stop in Atlanta was added to the ProgPowerUSA fest on Thursday night, Sept 25. Manticora opened the show and while I am not a huge fan of this metal band from Denmark, they did put on a great performance.



    Gamma Ray was next (the co-headliner with Helloween) and what a performance! Having only heard their latest CD a couple of times before the shows, I was unsure what to expect. A mixture of metal and arena rock, these guys put on a hell of a rock show. Although Kai Hansen was an original member of Helloween, he has found his calling as the leader of Gamma Ray.



    Having never seen Helloween before but semi-familiar with their music, they were better than I expected. While Andi Deris was a fine front man, I was more impressed by the guitar duo of Michael Weikath and Sascha Gerstner. They was they worked together reminded me of older Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, trading leads and loving every minute of it. The evening was only a taste of what was to come.



    Friday was the official start of ProgPowerUSA and the Italian Prog-metal band Pathosray started things off. Having listened to their debut, I was even more impressed with their live performance. It is not easy to start a crowd off at four in the afternoon, when the audience knows five other bands are following but Pathosray did an impressive job of generating excitement.



    Next was the Italian Fantasy-metal band Elvenking and all I knew before I got there was what I had heard on their Myspace page. The interesting part to their mix was the addition of a violin player, which gave their medieval brand of metal additional layers of sound.



    Of the bands I discovered only because of their placement on the festival list, Andromeda has become one of my all-time favorites. After checking out their Myspace pages, I picked up their three CD releases, plus their new live DVD long before we got to Atlanta. The Swedish band plays Progressive Metal in the vein of Dream Theater but they do not sound like anyone else. They have evolved since their first release and their latest, The Immunity Zone (released one week before the Atlanta show), is arguably their best yet. Their performance was one of the strongest of the weekend, marred only by some technical difficulties during the last song that was beyond their control. Many people in the audience were impressed with their set and the professional way they recovered from the end of set problems. I will not miss them the next time they come stateside. (I “bumped” into them the next day and have started a friendship with David Fremberg, the lead singer. Details in chronological order i.e., part 2.)



    The German metal band Iron Savior was next and although they gave it their all, their Judas Priest-style rock was our cue to make a food run. The festival has bars but no food, so they allow pass outs and there are a few restaurants within a block of the venue.



    We got back in plenty of time to see the band that brought us to ProgPowerUSA, Riverside, and we were not disappointed. A couple of years ago, a last.fm friend Dee told me that is I enjoyed Porcupine Tree as much as I appeared to, I should check out Riverside. I have since picked up all four releases, including the German 2-disc edition of their latest CD, Rapid Eye Movement. (And I cannot wait for their first live DVD next month!!) To say I am a fan is an understatement but nothing prepared me for the ‘live face” of Riverside. Mariusz Duda, vocalist and bassist, has said there are two sides to Riverside: the studio and the live. And he is absolutely correct; the band plays like they are on fire live. These days it is rare that a band floors my jaded concert-going self, but I was picking my jaw off the floor during their entire set. (Even other bands the next day were asking, “Did you see Riverside? Wow!”!) I will never miss a Riverside tour again.



    Wrapping up the first night was Amorphis, a band who came all the way from Finland to headline the festival. I have enjoyed their last two releases and was looking forward to seeing them live. Amorphis started as a death metal band but had become more progressive in the 21st century. With their lead vocalist change in 2005, Tomi Joutsen is versatile enough to handle clean melodic vocals while bringing back some death growl elements from the bands early works. Being as old school as I am, few bands with death growl vocal turn me on, Opeth being the largest exception to the rule. Amorphis now joins that short list as there was no denying their electrifying performance. Powerful yet melodic, Amorphis was a worthy closer to ProgPowerUSA Day 1.





    Details about Day 2, meeting some of the bands and looking forward to next year will be in the next installment. Thanks for reading!
  • I had a (pretty nonsense) dream

    29 Eyl 2008, 17:08 yazan shalotka

    Of course that's not worth a *journal*, but before I start with these brilliant articles I have in mind, you'll have to read this.

    OK, so I layed down, listening to Andi Deris, because I was too tired to read. And as it usually happens in the afternoon, instead of half an hour I slept 3 hours.

    What I saw in my dreams was a fan meeting with Jorn, who had released a hit single. It was a part of campaign to save polar bear cubs. What was the most striking about was that it was akshuly a Helloween song (something from The Dark Ride), but in Norwegian. I wondered wtf, but then I thought that the best things ever happen when Jorn works with Helloween guys (vide Masterplan). Anyway I asked him why he akshuly agreed to take part in this campaign to save polar bears and well, he told me how much they paid him. And then he kissed me :P

    Now, seriously, I hate waking up from dreams that are very relistic especially when something more could have happened :P

  • I bash my twenty again! : (

    28 Eyl 2008, 18:09 yazan Saraisk

    Some have remained where they are, some are new so let's give it a go.

    1. Twilightning - you're a lazy, lazy band. It's been a YEAR ever since you updated your page. I love your experimenting with different styles, but now after a long silence all I get is "we're working, but the album's going to be weeeeeeird" and it intimidates me, knowing how you like to change your genres (from cheesy power to hard rock anyone?)
    And someone kill Nalle. The bitch left the band and I can't get over it.

    2. Sonata Arctica - I love Unia, but whenever I listen to Ecliptica, I want to slap Tony Kakko and break his eagle nose. You've lost your essence, the very thing that was "Sonata Arctica". Also I miss your decent solos. Your overuse of keyboards sometimes make me want to beat somebody up.

    3. Kiuas - you're a death-power band, not a progressive band. Several of your songs sound so terribly same that when a song changes, I think: "Did it just change or am I delusional?". Also the lead singer lacks his usual raspy, DEEP voice on the last album.

    4. Apocalyptica - You go in the direction of electric instruments and heavy drumming. That's nice. But next time, put more acoustic songs to your album, make it sixty-forty and don't hire absolutely terrible vocalists. Matt Tuck and Cristina Scabbia are fine examples of absofuckinglutely terrible choices.

    5. Havoc Unit - I geddit, you hate Christianity. I'm not too keen on religion, either, but all of your songs in h.IV deal about religion.. fuck you. It's boring as fuck.

    6. Psyclon Nine - I love your black metal/terror EBM crossover, but I hate your earlier works. I also hate your imagery. Women.

    7. The CNK - I think you're brilliant, fun and kind of mean. But you got boring pretty quickly and you aren't releasing new material fast enough to keep me interested.

    8. Northern Kings - bitches, you didn't cover Michael Jackson, YOU DIDN'T COVER MICHAEL JACKSON!

    9. Anorexia Nervosa - is it REALLY that hard to make songs that don't have the same beat on the background and those terribly cheesy keyboards? Decadence is OUT, so are the gothic themes. I like this band, but I think Hreidmarr did himself a favor when he gtfo'd this band after a while. Warlike imagery fits you so much better than the gothic black metal thing.

    10. Tarot - Crows Fly Back was boring, apart from "Tides". Marco aren't the best singer either, although he fits his band. The band sounds repetitive on their last album.

    11. Emperor - Ihsahn is a great man, but his vocals suck and he always seems to be overshadowed by the mighty Samoth.

    12. Helloween - One word: "Chameleon".

    13. The Kovenant - The vocals on SETI were just sad. YOu used to have such great varied, interesting vocals and now you go for bland "talking-type" vocals. Fuck you.

    14. Deathstars - Horrible vocals, also the hordes of goth chicks who follow this band is frightening. This sexy type of metal is too overdone, way too overdone, overproduced.

    15. Hevein - what a great concept of a band.... and it's all ruined by fucking terribly angst-ridden lyrics. Seems to me that this cello/trash metal band doesn't consist of grown persons but a pack of 17-year olds.

    16. Agonizer - your lyrics kill me. How can someone sing of sorrow and other such things during the whole damn album? You sirs are no power metal, you're mower metal, which ties to the joke "I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself".

    17. The Sin:Decay - nice cold atmosphere in your songs, but now when you're going to release a new album with less SAME-SOUNDING songs on it?!

    18. Moonspell - doesn't provoke any big feelings, songs are nice but I get tired of them fucken quickly, they get boring.

    19. Thunderstone - I don't get how you got this high. Apart from two songs your stuff also fails to be interesting.

    20. Eicca Toppinen - whyyy oh why do you repeat yourself? I recognized several melodies from your Apocalyptica when listening to the Black Ice soundtrack.
