This week on The MetalSucks Podcast, we've got ProgPower USA promoter Milton Mendonca on the show! During our chat, we discuss how he started out as a fan before becoming a promoter, the process of booking bands for a festival, what a possible VISA hike from the United States government would do to bands, and the financial challenges of doing exclusive North American shows. Like most interviews these days, we also discuss the impact of having to take a two year break due to the pandemic, what he thinks is the secret to maintaining a festival to keep making money after 20 years, shutting his phone off to watch certain bands, and the hardest lesson he learned promoting a festival every year. Petar and Brandon discuss the impact Anthrax's “Sound of White Noise” on its 30th anniversary, Vince Neil judging anyone in anything in life on National TV, Vulvodynia drummer almost getting “murdered” by his singer, and the singer releasing an apology before explaining why he almost killed his drummer.

Los primeros festivales musicales se dieron en el antiguo Egipto. Existen pruebas de que alrededor del año 4.500 AC se realizaban celebraciones multitudinarias de música y danza en torno y en nombre de los Dioses. Esta práctica se traslada a los griegos, romanos e incluso llegó hasta la Edad Media. Definir cuál fue el primer festival musical de la historia es muy complicado, por lo cual, en el episodio CVIII de #AloBestiaPodcast, nos centramos en hablar de festivales de rock y metal que se realizan en diferentes partes del mundo hoy en día.Episodio propuesto por uno de nuestros mecenas en Patreon, Fabián Molina.

Casey is back on with Brent to discuss various Progpower USA shows, Queensryche, Nevermore and Sanctuary, Witherfall, Shadebeast, etc.
I'll admit I'd not heard of Bloodbound until I saw them a few years back on the bill at ProgPower USA. I came away very impressed with their live performance, and subsequently devoured their back catalogue of material which is, in all honesty, is a mixed bag. Bloodbound have had some great albums – and then some so-so albums. Their newest release is entitled “Creatures of the Dark Realm”, and follows on their two previous offerings – “War of Dragons” from 2017 and “Rise of the Dragon Empire” in 2019. The band's infatuation with dragon imagery apparently sated, “Creatures of the Dark Realm” features lyrical themes spanning the gamut of the demonic, fallen, and ostracized. To back up and give more context for this review, especially for those like me who weren't familiar with the band: Bloodbound are a Swedish heavy/power metal act. They employ a standard twin guitar attack melded with keyboards that aren't at all hidden in the mix. The vocals are in a clean rock style augmented by the high end wails that are a hallmark of the power metal genre. While certainly not clones of these bands, if you're familiar with the sound of artists such as Iron Savior, Hammerfall, or Battle Beast you'll have a good general idea of what Bloodbound are trying to accomplish musically. Their new album “Creatures of the Dark Realm” is well worth a listen, although I have a few faults to address. We'll start with the good stuff: the title track is a total banger and very memorable! Tight, fast-paced riffs and keyboard-drenched melodies. If you don't like this one, you just don't appreciate power metal and I cannot be your friend. “When Fate Is Glory” opens up pretty well with a powerful and catchy riff that transitions into a solid mid-tempo anthem. “March Into War” is a particularly strong, anthemic track - varied in the vocal approach that leads to a big, booming chorus that delivers. Shades of Sabaton on this one. “Eyes Come Alive” has a very dynamic intro with singer Patrick Selleby ratcheting his vocal attach up a notch before falling back into a choral approach on the choruses. Still probably the most aggressive track, catchy, and one I really enjoyed. The lead breaks are all spot on, helping lead the song to culmination while never detracting from the pace or feel. There are some areas on the album where the clean vocals could have used a bit more harshness, particularly on “The Gargoyles Gate” which was for me a bit too airy in the verse and sing-songy in the chorus. This was probably my least fav track on the album. Similarly, while the song “Face of Evil” had a very good melody it never seemed to deliver any punches. A general critique I would have of this album is that Bloodbound rely too much on the choruses to carry the songs without putting as much effort into building creative structures and tempos to fill the space between. It's not that there's anything wrong here: there are no skippable tracks on the album, which is saying something. I just wish among the memorable choruses and decent riffs there were more surprises and perhaps some elements that were challenging or even threatening. A lot of Bloodbound's sound is cliché metal, but they execute it in a good, positive way. And perhaps that's my ultimate appraisal – that Bloodbound adhere exceptionally well to their chosen genre without taking many risks musically. But, ultimately these critiques are mere nitpicking on my part. Bloodbound's music is heads-and-shoulders more metal than 90% of the vapid, fluff marketed as ‘metal' in the USA. I give this album a solid 8 ½ out of ten… It is good – it is metal – buy this! Listen to Bloodbound's whole back discography and prepare to be entertained by a band that is good at writing and recording power metal. It is my hope that Bloodbound and other European bands in their vein may contribute to bringing the power metal genre to a new generation of prospective fans.

REDEMPTION is one of the leading progressive metal bands in the world today. Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2000 by guitarist / keyboardist / songwriter Nicolas van Dyk, the band features iconic vocalist Tom S. Englund of Evergrey, the phenomenal rhythm section of Chris Quirarte (drums) and Sean Andrews (bass), keyboard phenom Vikram Shankar, and additional guitar work from the legendary Chris Poland (Megadeth, OHM) and Simone Mularoni (DGM). First gaining notoriety with their sophomore release, 2005’s 'The Fullness Of Time' (which featured former vocalist Ray Alder of Fates Warning), the band released their third CD, 'The Origins Of Ruin', in 2007 and followed with a tour of North America in support of progressive metal icons Dream Theater. They followed this up with a live CD/DVD of their performance at the ProgPower USA festival, 'Frozen In The Moment', in 2008. In 2009 they released 'Snowfall On Judgment Day' (which included a guest vocal performance from James LaBrie of Dream Theater), followed by 2011’s 'This Mortal Coil', after which they toured Europe for the first time and released their second live CD/DVD, 'Live From The Pit', in 2013. 2016 saw REDEMPTION deliver 'The Art Of Loss', which features not only Simone Mularoni and Chris Poland but also guitarists Marty Friedman and Chris Broderick, as well as guest performance from John Bush of Armored Saint/ex-Anthrax. Following the departure of Alder in early 2017, the band joined forces with the formidable voice of Tom S. Englund, and released its seventh studio CD, 'Long Night’s Journey Into Day', in 2018, again with Poland and Mularoni. Later that same year, the band - with live guest appearances by Mularoni, Poland and Ray Alder - headlined the 2018 edition of the ProgPower USA festival, recording the performance with multiple cameras under the direction of Patric Ullaeus (known for his videos for Evergrey, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Amaranthe and others). With REDEMPTION newly signed to AFM Records, the live package is being released as 'Alive In Color', as BluRay/2-CD and DVD/2-CD sets (both including Redemption’s live performance of the Megadeth classic 'Peace Sells' featuring Poland, believed to be the first time he performed that on stage in over 20 years). Soon thereafter, REDEMPTION will return to the studio to begin work on its 8th studio CD, which will come from AFM sometime in 2021.
“It’s getting really hard to book headliners,” laments ProgPower Festival Day 2 honcho Milton Mendonça… so the motherfucker booked TWO.

I found myself in a dilapidated Chicago airport on a damp and dingy Friday in February 2001 without a plan, without a debit card, and frankly, without a clue. The freezing winds somehow didn’t feel terribly cold, I had traveled light, and I had to figure out quickly how I was going to make the [...] The post TALKING PERSPECTIVES: A Conversation with PROGPOWER USA Mastermind GLENN HARVESTON (Episode No. 26) appeared first on Sonic Perspectives.

Angra guitarist Rafael Bittencourt has proven himself to be among the most dedicated bandleaders in the metal world.

It's only a few days from the annual installment of ProgPower USA, and although your humble host won't be in attendance this year, he's still in the spirit by speaking with someone who will be shifting from attendee to performer this time. Vikram Shankar's dance card is quite full at the moment, because not only will he be on the ProgPower stage with stalwarts Redemption as their new keyboardist, he and his band Lux Terminus have just released their debut album The Courage to Be. In his chat with Mark, he runs through how Tom Englund's enthusiasm for his piano cover song videos got him the Redemption gig, his many upcoming projects, and why he wanted the only song with vocals on the new album to be voiced by his favorite singer, Anneke van Giersbergen. Then we go back to the archives with an interview with ProgPower promoter Glenn Harveston from 2015, in which he goes into detail (often forcefully!) about the challenges surrounding visas and how much he appreciates his staff and fans of the festival for supporting his efforts through thick and thin. You'll find Lux Terminus online at https://luxterminus.bandcamp.com/ and ProgPower USA at http://progpowerusa.com/ Featured songs/excerpts: Lux Terminus: "Miles Away," "Fly," "The Courage to Be," "The Journey," "Effusion" Redemption: "The Echo Chamber" "Like" Progtopia on Facebook (www.facebook.com/Progtopia and www.facebook.com/groups/1380357308874546/) and follow Progtopia on Twitter (@Progtopia) to send a message about the show and to receive news about current and upcoming interviews.
