Those top five are pretty tasty…especially Root, if they stick with the early stuff, and Occultist should be awesome, but the rest of those bands leave me a bit underwhelmed. Not disappointed with the lineup, but I guess I was expecting something a bit more for their 15th anniversary
Two thoughts: 1. Holy Shit, those bands.
2. Holy Shit, SubRosa will stick out like a sore thumb
🙂
Really?…They have GosT on the lineup and SubRosa is the band that sticks out to you?
LOL. You have a point there.
This actually looks like a complete shit show. There is a lot of great bands here, but how long can even the most die-hard metalhead stand around in a parking lot and listen to all of these bands play one after another. It will turn into one big blur; with a big headache. This is complete overkill (not the band).
No parking lot this year.
Maybe my comment was too negative. I think I was thinking along the lines of how many interesting bands there are that I would prefer to see in a more intimate setting, and not all in just one weekend.
