I love it!!!! You rule as always Glenn. Ray is an awesome addition to the festival, and I can't wait to see him perform with Redemption.

Glenn, any idea on when Ray will be arriving??? I would love to have a chance to chat with him. Fates would have been a great choice for PP. Hey, maybe next year!!!! Regardless, great news Glenn!
 
OK, can somebody clarify for me? Who is doing the vocals on the sample clip on the PP4 site? I see three names mentioned on the band-info page for vocals, so I'm not sure who's actually singing what.

I have to say, IMHO the vocals were the weak point in "Nocturnal".
 
Rick Mythiasin of Steel Prophet...whose voice does bring down this album considerably

Mythiasin brings *DOWN* the album quality? You can't be serious. Mythiasin is one of the best vocalists in metal, and is certainly better than Ray Alder.
