Voltaire is a consummate performer, who can hold an entire ballroom spellbound with nothing more than a mic and his guitar. Jeremy, I'm glad that you think he belongs at the convention....inasmuch as he's saved D*C's bacon more than once. (The infamous "Rowdy" Roddy Piper incident comes to mind....)
Can't say I know about that one. But my ears are open, it sounds interesting.
As for Cruxshadows, they have for a frontman one of the best in the business, whose wireless headset mic gives him absolute free reign over any venue thay play, whether it's out in the audience, climbing on tables or podiums, or ascending the scaffolding. The segment in the Shadowbox DVD where Rogue climbs impossibly high above the stage, with no rope or safety harness, gives me the shivers every time I see it. That might have been the same big festival show where they outdrew Therion; I'll have to ask them.
He is one of the most recognizeable and -- as Ruthven can confirm -- one of the legitimately nicest people you'll ever meet. I'm proud to call Rogue and Voltaire friends o' mine.
