What bands should headline a metalfest in New Hampshire?[views:20314][posts:220][poll! to vote:click here] to view:click here] _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2006 6:31pm - Y Draig Goch ""] Therion (they played on a tuesday last time they came : ( Moonspell (they have never had a set in america over 20 minutes) Primal Fear Howling syn (a canadian goth-metal band, it'd have a good draw and they would be easy as hell to get) cellador (soon to be the next big power metal band in america) Amon Amarth (they'd get a good draw from power metal nerds, death metalheads, and viking/folk metal trolls) Into Eternity (another good band that never gets a long setlist but would have an amazing draw from metal heads) Finntroll (hands down they would sell out the show to any metalhead who has even heard of the concept of finntroll) wintersun would also be amazing angra your basic formula for a good metal headliner is a band that people of both sides of the metal spectrum could enjoy, I'm talking about those on the brutal extreme metal side and those on the power metal progressive side. A band like necrophagist would never draw people from the power/prog group, and a band like Angra would never sell to well to the death metal kids |

| _________________________________ [Jun 22,2006 11:16pm - kevord ""] Moonspell headlined at the palladium about 4 years ago. It was the only time I've seen them. So yes they have played over 20 minutes in the U.S. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 22,2006 11:20pm - hoser ""] THERION!!!!! |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 22,2006 11:48pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I have seen Moonspell play longer than 20 minutes on several occasions. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 12:33am - Y Draig Goch ""] I've only seen moonspell that one time they opened for devildriver and nile. I know they played with cradle too, but I don't remember hearing them headline. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 7:10am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] To my knowledge, they've hit up the Palladium four times: With Opeth & Devildriver. With In Flames and the Kovenant With Cradle & Type O Negative (Saw that.) And once as a headliner. (Saw that, it was the night of a snowstorm). |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 7:27am - VoidExpression ""] Yeah, I saw Moonspell headline over Lacuna Coil in 2001 (I think) and they fucking ruled. Then I saw them open up for Opeth and it was the lamest thing I've ever seen. It's too bad their Katatonia tour isn't swinging up to Boston. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 8:00am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] That was it, they played with Lacuna Coil when they headlined. You'll have to forgive me that I put that band out of my mind as quickly as possible. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 8:09am - DreamingInExile ""] I saw Moonspell open up for In Flames UPSTAIRS at the palladium (it was the colony tour) if moonspell was gotten, the should not be allowed to play anything post-Irreligious |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 8:26am - VoidExpression ""] I still like Lacuna Coil's Unleashed Memories, but everything else I've heard has been unlistenable. The time I saw them with Moonspell was in a tiny rock club in Chicago with November's Doom opening up, it was kind of weird. I like all of the Moonspell albums as well! |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 8:31am - DreamingInExile ""] Novembers Doom is awsome. I wish they drew more people around here though, because I'd love to see them as a headliner |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 9:01am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I like almost all of Moonspell's records. Including the past four. "Butterfly Effect" was fantastic and unique. Another one of those records I just don't get why people hate. It's creative, original, and good. I personally feel it was their best. If it's the "Wolfheart" sound you long for, they definitely have some of that on "The Antidote" and the brand new "Memorial". There were a few songs on Lacuna Coil "In A Reverie" that were pretty catchy, otherwise I can't really stand that band. I'll just listen to the Gathering instead. I've never been able to get into November's Doom. Just too bored when I listen to them. Now, Novembre from Italy, that's a kickass band. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 9:26am - DreamingInExile ""] I don't hate the newer stuff, I just didn't get into it like I did with Wolfheart and Irreligious |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 9:39am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Oh no, I just meant in general, people are really hard on that record. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2006 9:53am - DreamingInExile ""] yeah, that's true. As far as Novembers Doom, you must have heard their latest CD, The Pale Haunt Departure, and you still didn't get into them? I think that album has an unmatched groove to it. BACK ON TOPIC another band to consider would be Confessor, one of the most highly innovative and highly underrated doom bands ever |
