That picture 100% sums up last year.

Is it my imagination, or do I see Steve Flynn from Atheist in the center there?

Are there any more pictures from the afterparty last year? I'd love to see 'em if they exist...

Yeah that's him.

ANGER AS ART, EDEN'S FALL and ANCIENT CREATION are among the confirmed bands for the Midwest Metal Anthem 2008. The third annual event is set take place August 22-23 at J.J. Kelleys in Lansing, Illinois.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

ANGER AS ART
EDEN'S FALL
ANCIENT CREATION
MINDWARP CHAMBER
OTTOMAN EMPIRE
EBONMORTIS
PENCHANT 4 CHAOS
DEGRADATION
VICIOUS ATTACK

Festival promoter Ray Smith comments: "This is the third year for the Midwest Metal Anthem and the support and enthusiasm from the bands, the fans and the venue is better than ever. There is a real metal community vibe at the event. The bands are excited about playing and getting to know the other bands and fans. Plus, everybody gets a change to see a few bands that they know as well as some new bands that they may have otherwise not had the chance to see. This year, we have a good mix of returning bands from the previous two years as well as some great new additions to the lineup. We look forward to seeing everyone get together to support the metal underground".

Glad to see Ancient Creation on there since they totally fucking wail. Only briefly familiar with the other bands.

I will be there again...somehow....as usual! It was fun to see what Corey had done so far with the 2007 footage...Aaron was right, the Ravensthorn clips came out extra-great! Now I'm still in suspense waiting to see how the Saturday show clips will look when he is done with them!

Since we're not involved - that I know of, anyway - you're probably in the clear. Division always brings the rain.

Well, if you guys are involved this year, the only thing falling would be tears of joy!
