NEED SOME UPDATES HERE!!!!

[sautherom]

well... what kind of bands would be consider "smaller" ?

1.- Bands relatively new with 2 or 3 albums out?
2.- Some old bands but not enough famous to be considered a headliner?

ps. Sorry my ingorance, but who is Kai ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
My "Smaller Bands" Wish list:
Pestilence, Voivod, Tankard, Assassin, Exumer, Artillery, Unleashed, Toxic Holocaust, Equilibrium, Keep of Kalessin, Vried, Cor Scorpii, Dark Fortress, Arkona, Manegarm, Thyrfing.

Both would would fit my definition.

I like your list. Especially Managarm <3

I think Kai is one of the organizers. If not, he's a major member of customer support or something.

I just wish they had a top act of each of the major genres...

At least there's still a chance for a few of the black metal bands I like. Keep of Kalessin

great band! one of the few bm bands i like

Same. Though I really can't say I'm greatly interested in them on disk. They're 1000% better live in my opinion.

Yes Manegarm is a good band.. his DVD Live in Moskow is really good.

The WOA Organizers are Sheree, Holger & Thomas, perhaps Kai is a close friend or contributor of them.

eths have self confirmed (it's on their site and myspace page), playing the wet stage.

 

[blackmocco]

Nope =(

There's still a fair number of smaller black metal bands I want to see though. I can only hope that "smaller" doesn't mean 100% unknown.

Said this in the other thread as well but it's worth noting 'smaller' is in quotes. I wonder if Kai's being sarcastic when he uses the word. I dunno. Call me the eternal optimist but I can't help but think there's a wink-wink/nudge-nudge with the way that response is worded...
Mind you, I was convinced Voivod were the previous announcement so I'm probably talking out of me arse...

It's possible that "smaller" could mean moderately large or even large, but nothing along the lines of Immortal or Emperor. Optimism isn't a bad thing, he might very well be sarcastic. "Smaller" in quotes might be a mild exaggeration and a hint at something to come. So you do have valid reasoning.

You might be, but it'd be no worse than me convincing myself Immortal was bound to go. Keep in mind the person mentioned black, thrash and death metal. But I still don't like how he says that's a reason to stop complaining; if anything it'd force those complaining to be more pissed off and complain even louder.

Shit... "new" rumors are starting to become true :

Until now, mostly of previous rumors to the "big announcements" have become true (mago de oz, gamma ray, doro, engel, etc.. etc..)

As i said in some post.. i think at least 20 bands missing to the final line up, and the "new" rumors are:

Edguy, Grave Digger, DevilDriver, J.B.O., Sonic Syndicate, U.D.O., UK Subs, Breed77, Unleashed, Eths, Der W, Retrospect, Drone, Nervecell, Bai Bang..

if this become true .... the final line up would be almost complete... AND IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, WOULD BE THE WORST BILLING of the last 10 festivals, far far away to be a billing worthy of 20th aniversary... if that becomes true.. definitively I shoot myself!

Really the WOA Organizers would think that this billing is worthy of 20th aniversary???

Who the hell's is Eths? another "Jumping jumping" nu metal/metalcore band?

 

[agresionpower]

I hope there will be some more nice bands...

Since 2005 have been "reunion bands" into the billing
2005 - Accept & Stratovarious
2006 - Carnivore & Celtic Frost
2007 - Possessed & Immortal
2008 - Carcass & At the Gates

I hope to continue this trend in 2009 ... PESTILENCE would be awesome

Have a listen on their myspace - I don't actually mind it, it's pretty much MDM... half in French
