    Roster update (Day 1) & more...

    Shame that these situations continue to arise and cause so much stress and problems. Props to you guys for finding such solid replacements that were willing to step up in Theocracy and While Heaven Wept. I'm excited for WHW and also the other changes on Wednesday. To be honest, Wednesday and...

    Paladin join the roster

    Never heard them before, but I'm halfway through their only full-length album Ascension. Pleased having them as an opener. Nice job Glenn, especially on such short notice. Convenient too since they're from Atlanta.

    Pretty Maids Cancel ProgPower USA Appearance

    Well, not disappointing for me. I happen to like Insomnium. Like Pretty Maids too, but the show must go on. Just seemed logical to me since they were already on the bill and their visas were already approved. I'm also pleased with Sanctuary returning although I'm not a fan of returning bands...

    I hope INSOMNIUM just get bumped to the headline position and play longer.

    James LaBrie cancels PPUSA performance

    Oh well, stuff happens. Planning this far in advance things will ultimately arise that are out of control of the promoters. Things like this have happened in the past, pretty often actually a band cancels for some reason or another. It has NEVER kept me from attending and won't this year. Look...

    THE CONTORTIONIST: Clairvoyant

    Not sure if I would say it is transcendent as I don't believe that it surpasses/exceeds the amazing "Language". They have continued to progress to a more progressive sound, having eliminated all the harsh vocals. I happened to enjoy the mix of clean and harsh on Language as they were used in...

    Speculation for 2018 PPUSA lineup?

    I definitely am not a fan of returning bands. People that haven't been to specific PP events may have missed some of the bands that they wanted to see... I get that; however, as a person who has been to every PP event except the first, I have no desire to see returning bands although I know that...

    PPUSA Day 1 Headliner Announcement! (update 11/16)

    I know that a lot of people have clamored to see some of the great bands that have already played at ProgPower such as Threshold, Kingcrow, Myrath, Orphaned Land, etc, etc, etc., but I for one am totally happy that some bands that I have never seen at ProgPower are being lined up. I'm good with...

    Tesseract - New Album Polaris

    Thanks for putting that stream up. A lot more mellow than "One" with Daniel Tompkins on vocals, but I dig it. I enjoy his vocals in all of his works, even the very ambient White Moth Black Butterfly album. Plan on picking this up on the 18th.

    Midweek Mayhem 2015 - Lineup Announced

    says tickets available December 1st 2015, I'm assuming it's 2014. ProgPower 2015 is going to be killer!

    R.I.P. Adrian Bromley

    Adrian was an awesome guy. Someone that everybody in their lifetiime should have the honor to meet. Luckily I was granted that honor. Here's a pic of Adrian and Glenn at ProgPower a few year back. And here's to you Adrian, may you RIP :kickass:
