If we go for reunions, I'd love to see Extol and/or Burst starting a glorious comeback at PP Europe! Death is an option too, anyone up for digging up Chuck?
Still speaking about reunions would be great if these guys got back together: http://www.myspace.com/moonofsoulmusic

Anubis Gate Zero Hour & Cynthesis Threshold Textures Division by Zero Everon Adagio Chaos Divine (aussies FTW and their new album is amazing!)

You guys seem to be missing what is, at least to me, the biggest prog-metal event of the year if not the decade; Arch/Matheos. Other bands I would like to see: Psychotic Waltz and yes please, Anacrusis and indeed Gorod T-ass!
ProgPower should definitely book Shattered Skies from Ireland. They're unsigned, released a brilliant album all by themselves and their sound should be able to impress most ProgPower family members. You can download their album for free (or pay for it, which is what I did) here: http://shatteredskies.bandcamp.com/
I must be getting old or too fucked up to care. I don't really have any 'must haves' for 2012. But you know what? I will be there anyway.
The best news reached me this morning. HEAVEN'S CRY is back together again after a 7 year break and working on a new album. Their gig att PP many years ago is my favourite gig of all times. Get them back here next year. That's an order!!!
I knew HC would be together again, it was just a matter of time. I've always stayed in touch with them and already discussed a return to PP. It depends on the release of their 3rd album that will be recorded in spring 2012. So HC will return at PP, if not in 2012, it will be 2013. That's a promise!
