Did anyone go to Progpower UK 2006? (sat 25th) What a day! I was in my musical element! It was well organised, the bands were great everything was enjoyable, the staff were great, very friendly, the signings didn't clash with bands playing, most of them were walking around so you could go chat with them, all teh bands were really nice to talk to, friendly an apreciative. My find before the festival was Pagan's Mind whilst my find of the festival was this awsome prog-metal abnd from Israel called Orphaned Land, these guys MUST be included in teh archive, they are so different from your useual prog-metal bands beacuse they use Trad. instruments as wellas guitars etc and speak in Hebrew, Arabic, English, Like a middle-eastern Opeth! Orphaned Land, Threshhold and Pagan's Mind slayed! My ratings are thus: Firewind- 10/10 Secret Sphere- 7/10 their fit backing singing 10/10 Orphaned Land- 10/10 Freedom Call- 5/10 Pagan's Mind- 10/10 Threshold 10/10 Therion- 8/10 I want Orphaned Land to come abck to the UK and do a tour, they were amazing!
Did anyone else go? If so what did you think? how did you rate the bands? etc etc. I am TOTALLY going next year! Reserve me a ticket! ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child! Check out my bands myspace site: www.myspace.com/equinox17 |
