In Anticipation of Flight of the Valkyries 2008 - Requests? - Page 2

Well found out the singer left Ignitor so don't know if they would have a new singer and if they would be female at this time. Still would love to see Motorpyschos from Pittsburgh PA or Broadzilla from Detroit MO. Would be incredible to see Holy Moses or Detente with Ann Boleyn. Benedicturm of Vainglory whom I missed last year making a reapparance would be cool too. Also can't remember her name but she fronted Maltese Falcon back in the eighties, a awesome female fronted thrash band. She still plays, maybe you could get her to see if she would do that with a new lineup. Or Sally Cato who fronted Smashed Gladys, a great sleaze rock female fronted band from the eighties as well.

There are a ton of great female fronted metal bands out there. I wish the Swordlord the best.

Thank you again for all your suggestions, requests, and descriptions on this thread. I cannot thank you enough for the support and great suggestions you have all given.

We have a three great bands already lined up for the 2008 fest and will be making announcements starting in January. (We had hoped to make official date/band announcements before now, but with the holidays and several other personal and professional matters that each the SwordLord and I have been working through it has been difficult to line everything up for all the changes to the Web site, Myspace, forum, etc. Beleive me, I'm about as bummed out about not being able to make these announcements already as you probably are about having to wait for them. In my opinion, though, the wait will be well worth it.)

Please keep your requests coming. We have some great ideas for the 2008 FotV Fest, but the full roster is not yet complete. We've approached a few other bands that have not confirmed yet, but we are always interested in hearing about other female-fronted metal bands, projects, and female metal singers that you - the fans - want to see in the US.

Keep the requests coming! Fly Strong!

Hails,

Im the lead guitarist for Severed Heaven, an all female death/black doom metal band from the UK. We would love an opening slot at the festival, it would be a great chance to prove that women can also be the band aswell as fronting it

We have excellent live reviews and many gigs lined up for this year already so please check out our myspace and let me know what you think

Brutal Blessings

Ignitor from Austin Texas
Echoes of Eternity from California
Forgotten Tales from Canada
Aghora from Florida

Maybe Stream Of Passion since they dont have Arjen they may not be as expensive.

Any chance we could at least find out if this is going to be a one day Saturday gig again (in which case I don't need to worry about vacation time) or a two day event so I can request a day off. I got to request vacation time soon and all the family planning people with kids start taking week long holidays in the out of school season. If you feel like putting some band info with the date I wouldn't mind either.

As of right now, the plan is for one day - a Saturday in June.

Official date announcement and first three band announcements coming before the weekend.

Benedictum is one of the most kick-ass female-fronted metal bands in the U.S. I interviewed their lead singer a couple of years ago and she was a blast to talk to. Their first album is a metal masterpiece.

If you can reach outside of the U.S., I suggest Kingfisher Sky. Their debut album Hallway of Dreams is brilliant.
