Kataklysm frontman and Rock The Nation USA's general manager Maurizio Iacono recently commented: "As 2008's Paganfest was a great discovery for many people and a HUGE success, we are proud to bring it back again for 2009! The demand for the tour is growing and people are really excited. We chose to bring the best and some new blood as well for the next run. We hope (like this year) that all the pagan followers will come back in big numbers and raise their drinks in the air and celebrate a majestic evening not to be forgotten anytime soon!"

You consider Tyr, Suidakra and Alestorm a better line-up than this? My God, Alestorm alone makes that tour worse. Only Tyr is okay to my ears. And with Paganfest you get two great bands in the form of Primordial and Moonsorrow. ---- Member of the true crusade against European Flower Metal Yesterday is dead and gone, tomorrow is out of sight Dawn Crosby (r.i.p.) 05.04.1963 - 15.12.1996 Loading...

And with Paganfest you get two great bands in the form of Primordial and Moonsorrow. Aw man, I forgot about Alestorm... thanks for reminding me. I have heard good things about them live though... Well... Moonsorrow will probably only get to play 4 or 5 songs (I think they should headline honestly...) so that it not reason enough for me to travel 3 hours to see them. Primordial would be good too but I don't think the drinking song obsessed crowds here will be too supportive. Loading...

worm_is_gloaming Posts: 150 From: USA	Permalink 11.02.2009 - 05:29 worm_is_gloaming Posts: 150 From: USA Korpiklaani at last on US turf... Now I can die happy. people who dismiss them as yet another mere hi-ho-hum folk band just haven't listened to them closely enough, and probably only heard their stuff off the internet mp3s on poor computer speakers without taking a look into their lyrics booklets, where they include not only English translations of each song but also the meanings behind their lyric concepts... I too used to think them as nothing more than Finntroll-lite beer metal, but their "Korven Kuningas" album blew my mind, not only with the fervor and fire of their spirited playing but the poetry of the songs as well. There are some incredibly moving tracks on their previous "Tervaskanto" album too. It ain't just good old time boozin' fun (which it often is), it's also some very potent excursions into Finnish shamanic folk elements that inspire much of what they do (esp. in the songs that contain some very moving poetry by V. Hattivan). And as the bonus dvd of their Wacken appearance attests, they're having a genuine damn good time on stage, and it carries off right to the audience. It's genuinely impossible to label them gimmicky cause they're not putting anything on, it's just them as they are havin' a blast. They'll get the crowds really going, very glad to hear that they're the headliners, these dudes deserve more exposure for their work. Surprised to see Moonsorrow among the very first opening acts and not as direct headlining support... Hopefully they'll get their own headlining tour soon, they're way overdue! And here's to hoping that someone will have enough wits to bring us Manegarm. Loading...
