What about death or black metal?

Any interest in having a death metal or black metal band at Madfest?
For instance: http://www.myspace.com/hatredmetal
I like this band, a lot, and they contacted me about playing in 2008. If it works out, I'd be inclined to add them,
unless you all stop me now.

I love death & black metal but that doesn't mean squat for Madfest because I also love Japanese dance pop,
so the decision is up to you - the attendees!

I have no problem with this band, I particularly like their softer parts. They kind of have a Solitude Aeturnus feel. I just really dont like bands like Cannibal Corpse or Dark Funeral. The ones where it is constant blast beats etc.

I've never been a fan of black/death metal...and I'm from Tampa/Brandon area, so go figure. Though, I'm usually in the minority on my opinion, so wtf do I know.

Yes, Japanese dance pop and maybe some Psychobilly like Horrorpops or Crypt Keeper Five. I'm sure everyone would love it.

Cool, thanks! That's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for! Keep them coming people!

Totally!! Japanese dance pop like T.M. Revolution or Kagrra! And horror punk like Shadow Reichenstein! Psychobilly you say? How about Country Bob & The Bloodfarmers? Or Nuke & The Living Dead? Actually, that's not a half-bad idea!

Nope, have not seen them. I wonder how many others are interested in horror punk. It would be funny to find out that a lot of people here do, lol!

Tammy you know I am a fan of great music no matter the label put on it. I suggested last year when bands were recommended for Madfest 2007 that Vesperian Sorrow would be a great band to have and I still say that. I think Madfest is about the quality of band instead of whether they fit a certain category or not!

I also would shite a brick if you had Shadow Reichenstein on the roster next year!!

OH yeah...and to me Hatred fits into more of a thrash/death vibe...I like em a lot! I immediately recognized Tim from Painmuseum!!

True, but you are in the minority.

Ah, note taken

Yep, they wrote to me and are interested in playing Madfest. I can't really offer them much, nor am I sure I'm ready to make that move yet. At least Vesperian Sorrow has already generated some interest in our little community, and if there's one band form Virginia I'll be bringing out it's Division. But we'll see what happens..
