Bands you would like to see reunite and play ProgPower?

[ProgMetalFan]

I'd like to see the following defunct metal bands reunite and grace the ProgPower stage in the future.

Conception - Though not fitting easily into either the Prog or Power categories... their innovative melodic metal of the mid-90's laid much of the foundation for the burgeoning Prog/Power scenes to come. Vocalist Roy Khan and Tore Ostby have continued on with successful acts (Kamelot and ARK) but I will always long for the return of Conception.

MadSword - Awesome Italian prog-metal band that released their debut full-length "A Global Village" in 2000 and quickly vanished. Balancing warm, lush soundscapes and dizzying technicality, these Italians forged a truly unique sound.

Both of them would be great. Khan mentioned that Conception will be working together again, I think next year, not sure if they will ever tour again but wouldn't a couple of fests be nice.

A Global Village was their second album, not their debut. Evolution was their first back in 1996. Anyway, a Global Village was great!

debut full-length

"Evolution" was an EP.

Just thought of another band I'd like to see reunite and play ProgPower:

Sieges Even - German tech metal/prog rock band. Style changed with each album, but the underlying Sieges Even sound remained. Very innovative songwriters.

 

[Demonspell]

Agreed with all of PMF's choices and Eternity X, and I'd add Lemur Voice...

 

[Harvester]

Angel Dust.

'Nuff said.

Angel Dust would definitely be great!! They were awesome at PP2.
Another band I would like to see is Dreamscape. Their second album "Very" is one of my favorite prog metal albums.
Conception would also be a great choice.
Eternal Tears of Sorrow would also be great. Their last album "A Virgin and a Whore" is one of the best melodic death metal albums ever. Reminds me a lot of Children of Bodom in "Follow the Reaper".

Obviously.

"Enlighten the Darkness" blows me away every time I listen to it.

Yeah, Conception would be awesome.

For technicality, I wouldn't mind seeing Apocrypha live. I'd want to hear certain songs from The Forgotten Scroll.

Watchtower!

We'll, I guess they're still "together", but it's been so long since we've heard anything new!

Also, Damn The Machine!
