Confirmed yesterday. The German, Kaiserslautern based Prog Metal Band Vanden Plas, founded in 1983. They played at ProgPower in U.S. and in big halls in France. Together with Wolfgang Hohlbein, a German phantasy author, they published a album based on a novel of the author: “Netherworld Path One – Chronicle Of The Immortals”.

Next confirmation – Evergrey from Sweden, founded by Tom Englund and Daniel Nöjd in Gothenburg in 1983.

And last but not least SAXON! The English NWOBHM institution! I have seen Saxon two times last year. In Southamptom Mo’Club during the first Full:Metal:Cruise. It was an great “Denim And Leather” tribute show. And at the Metal Hammer Paradise. Also a great show!
