Bands willing to play....but needing sponsorship - Page 2

There are doom festivals?

Climb Thar Hill · May 6th, 2008, 05:07 PM

Taking a step away from my blatant Pagan Altar fanboyism, I do agree with the points Eric & Ali bring up.

They'll surely attract a lot more people I think, then say Arkona or the like (I'm not knocking them either). They'll fit in perfectly for the odd band out slot and will offer a great performance of doom tinged NWOBHM.

In fact, if Pagan Altar does indeed get signed on for HCIII, that'll ensure my presence at the event and I'm sure that'll happen with many others.

Jason, which songs did you listen to? They are certainly more in lines with NWOBHM than actual doom metal.

The ones on the Myspace. Of course, with it being a short sampling, I'd be more than happy to give 'em a fair shake if they were to play HC. Also, the fact that apparently many would be pleased can only be a good thing, so if it makes most of the cool peeps I hang out with there happy, then I'm all for it.

Whoa, I had no idea Doomcifer and En Vind Av Sorg were considering coming out!

That may be the case for you, but would most NWOBHM/Doom fans be willing to travel to hear one band, amongst a bunch of folk/viking bands? While I wish for variety, I think Pagan Altar are too far away from the general musical theme of the festival. IE, they're not folk/black metally/pagany to be that push that makes the folkers decide to come, and I doubt that them alone would be enough to attract the doomers/heavy metallers from across the nation, that is besides RC of course.

I may be wrong of course, but how many Pagan Altars fans are into bands like Gernotshagen, for example?

That said, I like what I've heard of Pagan Altar, so it will still be cool if they are chosen, but from a financial point of view, I think Arkona would be a safer bet. I mean, look at the "Bands you would love to see at Heathen Crusade" thread and see how many people suggested Arkona.

I hereby decree, no more posts about Arkona.

Krigloch the Furious · May 6th, 2008, 05:47 PM

Arkona
Heidevolk
Mael Mordha

Dark One · May 6th, 2008, 05:50 PM

Ok, that's it. I've decided to use my sponsorship money solely for the purpose of bribing Heathen Crusader *not* to get Arkona.
