Wow long time since I've been here, but this lineup is amazing. I'm looking forward to next year. I'm finally in a place where I can make this happen again. I can't believe I turned down gold badges pre-covid! I should have bought them anyway, just to support the fest, but I just couldn't at...

Damn it, the post I don't want to make. Two tickets for all four days available. Gut punched to miss Angel Dust. I'd like to get face value for them. Easiest to hit me up at esp at nmia.com.

My review of the new album, if any are interested. http://www.themetalpit.net/review/unleash-the-archers-apex/

Wanted to see where people stood on this. I'd hate to see Dynazty go by the wayside, they are getting so damn good with the last two albums! And I'd also be selfish and say, as long as we get to see BOTH at ProgPower first! Full text at...

Angel Dust! They are what turned me on to ProgPower way back in 2001. Also Teramaze. I'll be damned if Her Halo isn't one of the best albums ever. Sunburst for sure. I will witness the birth of a new guitar god. And I get to see Amaranthe and Serenity again. Bonus score!!!!

It is really interesting to compare the two voices on the Heart Of Stone song. I've always loved Readman, from the PC69 days, and loved him in Voodoo. Glad I got to see them live, thank you Glenn! Almanac was on my top 10 list of best of 2016, so I don't mind him moving on too much, because I...

Good stuff. Lots of great music coming out of Greece right now!

Crossing my fingers for an Albuquerque or even El Paso date on May 12th. This is one hell of a great line up! Otherwise it will probably be worth traveling for!

So much good stuff, but I was floored by Wilson/Wakeman's Weir Keeper's Tale (thank you Piffle!). You have to be in a mood for it, with no drums or bass, but it's just painfully beautiful. From Glenn's list I feel like I'm pretty up on them, but Heaven's Below is blowing me away at the moment...

I have to go with Bleed because it was the first one I listened to. Enlighten is amazing, but I think all four Albums are amazing. The first two don't count. 8)

I don't know if it's kosher to pimp our own stuff, but I did an interview with Fredrik Larsson here: http://www.themetalpit.net/interview-with-fredrik-larsson/ There is also a review of the new album that I did on the site.

So FOUR headline caliber bands in just the first two days! Wow. Kudos. You guys are amazing.

I'm guessing we get one more Prog band and one more headliner! Can't wait.....

I haven't paid much attention to Metallic for a while now. But I like to give them a chance, because of the old days. This is a great throwback to the Kill 'Em All sound. I am very happy! Holy Shit I like Metallica again! Let's see what other people think.

I just put Haken's Visions back on. It never hit me the way The Mountain did. I don't hate any of their stuff, but I'm not in love either. I am a huge Angel Dust fanboy, so that is my most anticipated act. Love Amaranthe, saw them last time, looking forward to another set. Seen Dream...
