I though I should start a Wacken topic in the meanwhile. Who's going? Who isn't? Discuss.

I'll Be Posting some info about the bands that we do not know in this topic, I'll check them up and give my opinion on them, and perhaps link some links to some songs.

I'm Looking Forward to it, It's Still about 8 months and the groups on the list are looking fucking awesome. I'll investigate after the groups that are a bit unknown to me(/us?). Besides to that I'd like to know who's planning to come and with what sort of transport he/she's planning to use.

[Update 1 - Autumn]:

Today I got interrested in checking the band Autumn, When I went to check their myspace a song started to play that sounded rather familiar then It got to me that I heard this song on MTV a few days a go...

Anyways, to the subject, Autumn is a Gothic Metal band from the Netherlands(Friesland). They are active since 1995, however they brought there first album out in [2002](When Lust Envokes The Curse). Next to the album from 2002 they have brought out 2 additional Albums; [2004]'s Summer's End and [2007]'s My New Time. Next to Gothic Metal, they are getting influences out of Doom Metal, Folk Metal and Nu-Metal.


Additional Info :
- They did a performance at GMM2005.
- The Vocalist is a woman.
- Autumn is a band made of six people.
- They have a few video clips

(Communication on Opium)http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbdo_vnNSFA

Own Opinion : A Good group, I like it, Not too loud but not too soft.

[Update 2 - Crematory] :

When I was looking up the genre of this German band, I Immediatly noticed that this band was Gothic Metal and Death Metal, this got me thinking, is that even possible? Then I went to check their myspace and it was soon clear. They are using Goth-Metal style playing with Death Vocals and friendly backings. It Seems that this band Isn't that new. They've been around since 1992 and have about 10 studio albums. They also seem to have some Industrial influences in their music.

Additional Info :
- They Have Performed at Wacken About 4 times ('96, '98, '99 and '01)
- They are a 5-man band

Own Opinion : I don't like this group so much, Most of the songs don't interrest me (Except for Tears of Time) I don't think it's worth our time at WOA.

Autumn is good, but I'm not really into female fronted bands.
If thyere's nothing better I'll probably go see them.

Crematory I like, it has got an Amorphis-like sound, but they should change their vocals, not only grunting.
Guitars are A-ok though

[Update 3 - BANDS UPDATED]: Nightwish - Enemy of the Sun - Corvus Corx - Warbringer

Sweet so we can finally see nightwish live

Not really sething I wanted but I don't mind xD

I'm Excited to, manny bands to my liking atm, gonne do an update on Enemy of the Sun and another band tomorrow.

[Update 4 - Enemy of the Sun] :

Awkward band.. They're new, they have released there first album 7 dec 2007 named "Shadows". the songs on MySpace are rather strange, but hey, I noticed they where from Germany and that explained it all...

Additional Info :
- They are new from 2007.
- They are a 4-man band, chick on bass.

Own Opinion : Satisfied By Ego Purposes? ? fucked up band if you ask me, As I like it

Theyre cool, guitar is very melodic, I liek!

how come everytime a producer and executive starts his own band it sounds really fucked up

[Update 5 - Gorerotted]:

Brutel Deathbangers Gorerotted from England are totaly insane. They love horror movies, and use them to create there music, grunts as "Cut, Gut, Beaten, Eaten" and other hysterical stuff creates the lyrics for a totaly gore band as Gorerotted.

Discography :

Mutilated in Minutes (2001)
Only Tools and Corpses (2003)
A New Dawn for the Dead (2005)

Additional Info :
- 5-man band
- They have a few video clips
