Eidolon--Now that Shawn is out of Megadeth, maybe there's a chance that this band will actually release a new full-length album. Besides, Nils K. Rue is a favorite at this festival, so why not have him come back with these guys? Tony Martin--Here's a guy with quite a history and a tremendous back catalog. He hasn't performed in this country in years, which is an absolute travesty. Mekong Delta--I'm not sure if this band is really up Glenn's alley, but they've been doing the technical thrash thing longer and better than most bands. Stay metal. Never rust. Albert
I love the idea of Triptykon or My Dying Bride, but can't see either ever being asked. Within the realm of bands who could be on Glenn's radar: Cynthesis Grand Magus Savage Messiah EDIT: Iris Divine
Edit: Oops I see these are supposed to be bands that have never played ProgPower, and two of the ones I picked earlier have already played. So I'll revise my choices. Grave Digger Lynch Mob Paragon Scanner Yngwie Malmsteen
Metal Church - When Mike Howe fronted the band, they were my absolute favorite. Huge catalog of awesome songs. Subsignal - While not Sieges Even, it is a band formed from the ashes of Sieges Even with the same singer and guitarist. Serious Black - If Urban breed is involved, it's always kick ass.... period. SB is no exception. Bryant
Oooh .. Cynthesis. . Nice choice. I like the Savage Messiah pick as well. I'm guessing they would tear the place up. Grand Magus seems like a band that's long overdue for Prog Power. Britt
Unisonic Eclipse Unsun - Female fronted HDK - w/Female vocals (project from Sander Gommas - After Forever) Gloryhammer Lords Of Black
I'd probably go to any festival featuring this trio of bands though the likelyhood of them all playing PRogPower USA the same year is slim to none. That said I'd go with Ascendia Serious Black Katatonia
Out of bands no one has mentioned yet: Eumeria Headspace Pantommind (sadly, this is probably not happening)
Not really a "band" but the performance I'd like to see the most at a future PP is a killer set with songs from the 4 albums by ALLEN / LANDE. Now that would be GREAT!
