why would you even consider for a second travelling from FL to MA for such a shitty fest? most years i'm barely willing to tolerate the forty minute trainride.

I wouldnt.

[Bodom J]

eh, some good bands but not a lot. i wish some festivals would come around here.

[Lumber Jack Off]

Prog Power is about the only good festival going on in the southeast. they should have an extreme metal fest in Atlanta as well, it'd probably sell just as well as prog power.

[Spoke]

DragonForce (first show EVER in the U.S.!), Arsis, Necrophagist

Those three bands alone would be worth flying from Texas to see.

[Bodom J]

i would love to go see prog power but it sells out in three fucking days and i can't afford to take that much time off of work

[Bukkake Tsunami]

on broken wings are a big group of rectum rangers. it should be blood for blood instead of ramallah.
all these bands suck ass
