    Epica and Amaranthe

    At last year's Progpower I came into that event not giving any band fronted by a female a listen cause it just didn't seem appealing to me.Then I sat through one of the best sets I've ever heard live at the 3 years I've been to Center Stage......and yes it was a female fronted band called...

    Help with Symphony X

    Okay I'm a power metal guy,but I like some songs by just about each prog band that plays Progpower.I'm just not one who actually goes and buys prog cd's but with Symphony X can anyone tell me some songs that might cater more to the heavier side and are not 8 or 10 minutes long? I know this band...

    How does the oddball selection work?

    I know we get 1 of these each year,but I'm curious what factors go into selecting "that" band? For example,you got DSO 2 years ago.You got/had/have no more Arcturus this year and then replace them with Ihshan. Would a thrash band ever fit the "oddball" category like say........Annihilator,or...

    Just wondering how many out there would like to see Jon and Hansi together at Progpower? If so,should they headline or play maybe right before the headliner? I know they only have 2 albums together but unless someone has heard otherwise I assume there will be another considering the enormous...

    Everytime I watch the video for "The Book of Heavy Metal" I find myself wishing Snowy would come out just for this song next year.He makes that video for me.Nothing against the drummer for Dream Evil but Snowy is a badass mofo in that video.
