    Persefone Removed from ProgPower USA XVI Roster

    This royally sucks. Yet another shit sandwich courtesy of the fine folks at the USCIS. As others already said, you are doing the best you can giving the crappy situation you are being put in. I am looking forward and will be curious what the replacement is going to be. I guess some days...

    Jeff Scott Soto Confirmed for ProgPower USA XVI

    That really is awesome to come up with such a replacement in short a short order. Awesome that Jeff Scott Soto is also ready and willing to step up to the plate like that on such short notice as well. Looking forward to getting to see and meet the guy.

    Morgana Lefay Forced to Cancel ProgPower USA Appearance

    Talk about getting kicked in the nuts and then handed a shit sandwich! I was actually looking forward to Morgan Lefay myself. I feel for the sponsors (having gone through this myself with Anubis Gate), the band, Glenn and crew (for having to put up with the bullshit coming from UCIS), and...

    New Operation:Mindcrime Song, better than expected

    That was interesting. I have to agree that this is probably some of the best material he has put out in 20 years. I'll have go check out the album on Apple Music.

    Kick-Off Show: Saxon & Armored Saint join the roster (6/18 upate)

    Been awhile since I was last on here. However, I got notification about a change in the line-up with regards to the kickoff and had to go check. DAMN!!! I was majorly bummed about D.C. having to pull out, but getting to see Saxon and Armored Saint again is going to be friggan AWESOME!! That...

    RIP Empire

    I am so going to miss that place! If I was not going to be at RoS Fest on Sunday, I would so be at that Haken show - at the very least to see the place one last time. Hell, I was just chatting with a guy at the gym today that said that he may go to that Haken show. Baltimore shows are very...

    MARMOR - Alma Celta, ft ALMAH drummer Marcelo Moreira

    This is pretty damn cool. I am streaming it from my iPad into my Pioneer N-50 DAC via Airplay and it actually sounds pretty darn good, considering it is just off of YouTube. Wonder if there is a lossless high-res version of this available anywhere. May have to at least get the CD.

    What drew you to ProgPowerUSA the 1st time?

    Dave here pretty much summed it up for us. Let me elaborate a bit here. In the late 90's, early 2000's, I started exploring the more independent, underground music scene via the old MP3.com site. I did not like the direction that the mainstream music that I was hearing on the local FM radio...

    Top 50 Discs of 2014

    Finally got around to checking out what ol' Glennster had to say here. :) Most of those disks I've already had. However, my brother wanted me to fill out my wishlist on Amazon for Christmas, so this did very nicely :) BTW, checking out that Daydream XI album on Bandcamp. Damn, that shit is...

    ProgPower USA XV Photo Thread

    I've managed to get a few nice photos of the Wednesday night event. Unfortunately, a number of them did come out a bit brighter than I hoped as I was I still trying to figure out my damn camera to adjust the exposure down. EDIT - Appears that Photobucket is being a dick tonight, so the photos...

    Cheers and Jeers 2014

    The first time I went to the fest, I was just overwhelmed by everything going on. The awesome music, all of the CDs that I could find in the vendor area, all the people there and so forth. I did not know ANYONE and I am not exactly the most social person around either. That first time, I...

    Cheers and Jeers 2014

    I thought that was awesome and the staff was really grateful for the help. I think we pretty much had that place cleaned up in 5 minutes!

    ProgPower USA XV Photo Thread

    And check this out! Like I've said numerous times before, the main reason I initially went to ProgPower in the first place was to see Stratovarius. That was nine years ago in 2005, and now here it is again in 2014.... Me with Lauri and Timo from back in 2005: I showed that picture to both...
