Inferno 2009 Wishlist

Sturmgeist:  Baltempest can inform you all that Sturmgeist are fucking awesome, and rather fun live!  Also considering Cornelius is from Oslo, maybe he'll wanna play his home town!

Krypt:  Norwegian, underground signed too a small label and not that well know really, perfect for the John Dee...

Mercyful Fate/King Diamond: I dont care which but either would be fucking awesome to headline any night.

Trollfest:  Fuck all this Finntroll talk!  Lets have the Norwegian version who mainly sing about trolls and drinking!

Naglfar: They would be greats of the Norwegian black metal scene... if they weren't Swedish!  A must for next year in my opinion.

Setherial:  More Swedish black metal and once again all purely satanic, theres or the above (Naglfar) would be fine.

Bal Sagoth: A bit out of place if they played next year but they very rarely do anything and when they do its usually only in Germany and there has to be an English band at Inferno once again.

Catamenia: Some melodic black metal from Finland, think like COF but with talent!

Illnath:  More melodic black metal in the same vain as Catamenia but from Denmark this time, haven't toured since 2003 despite being an active band!

Taake/Ragnarok:  Well why not?  If Hoest isn't in prison its best to make use of one of his bands!  Maybe even both

The Monolith DeathCult:  We need some death metal and why not these Dutch guys?  Fantastic metal from a bunch of very tounge in cheek guys!

Rotting Christ:  FOR FUCKS SAKE JUST BOOK THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ancient:  After a bit of a break due to not having enough members they have recruited Morfeus (Limbonic Art) and are finally ready to carry on.  Being Norwegian they should play Inferno!

Thronar:  Battle Metal, but imagine if you will a combination of Bal Sagoth and Amon Amarth and thats what you would be getting from these Dutch guys.

Impaled Nazarene:  You cant go wrong with some punky nuclear holocaust music now can you?

Baratharum:  More Finnish black metal, but a band that released an album with THREE bassists needs to play Inferno! They have also only played outside their home country twice (Sweden & Russia).

Vulture Industries:  Great candidates for an opening slot on the Rockefeller, basically they could very well be the next Arcturus.

Troll/The Kovenant:  Stian needs to get up off his arse and do something live as he last played live at Inferno in 2003 and as The Kovenant have new material and Troll have a full band lineup now I feel he should get up off his arse and do something!

LONG SHOTS:

Absu:  Black thrash gods, have reformed with a full lineup and have a new album.  If they are willing to play live lets have Inferno as a comeback show!

Limbonic Art:  Maybe they dont wanna do the live thing again, but its well worth having a go at getting them back onto the gigging scene!

Sabbat (JAPAN):  The last two Inferno's ive met Japanese people and had my picture taken with them, so we need some more Japanese bands at the festival and Venom loving Sabbat would be ideal!

Kroda:  Not nazi's despite what people say but with Negura Bunget going down so well Kroda would be even better!

Arkona:  Russian Pagan Metal, much like Kroda & Negura Bunget.  Infact they would compliment Kroda perfectly!

As well as a few acts also mentioned by Gib (Mercy/King and Rotting Christ in particular), how about these guys?

Maél Mórdha: If there's one thing that pisses me off about the majority of Irish bands (and there's a lot), it's that they don't play live outside of here all that much - despite KNOWING that they've got a strong enough fan base. Now it's not like that the Corkonian quintet have never played live outside of Ireland, but I feel a trip to a place like Scandinavia would complement their prog/folk metal perfectly. They're in the same league as Primordial if you ask me; and we all remember the response they got last year....

Toxik: Seeing as the prog-thrash New Yorkers have reformed and judging by the response the rest of the thrash acts got at Inferno this year, I feel that these guys would be more than welcome to grace the Rockafeller with their unique take on the genre.

Xentrix: 'Nother prog-thrash band from the land of Engerland, as unique and technical as Toxik and would be very interesting.

Iced Earth: Why the fuck not?! They RULE and the fact that Matt Barlow has rejoined them sweetens the deal. The Rockafeller would suit them well, too. They more than likely won't given the small calibre of the festival but you'd never know.

Zero Hour: Now THIS I'd like to see! By the time the next Inferno comes round they'd have already played Scandinavia once (Denmark on Hallowe'en night! ), so their technical prog genius should be heard of by then in Norway. Fingers crossed.

Archgoat: Black metal with death metal vocals would be sure to grind the John Dee to Dust. ANGELCUUUUUUUUUUUUUNT!!!!!! \m/

Black Witchery: Just like Archgoat, Florida's virgin violaters would be a fun ol' romp indeed. Esoteric old-school black metal?! Yes please!!!

Bolt Thrower: They played back in 2006 and they ruled, so bring them back again. And spell their name correctly!

Temnozor: As unlikely to play as Kroda, the Russian pagan folk metallers would be orgasmic to watch live. Plus, they also love Norse mythology.

Trelldom: Unlike most Norwegian black metal figureheads, Gaahl's not afraid to play live. So this time, instead of Gorgoroth, why not bring Trelldom to the stage? I prefer the big man's methods when it comes to this band, too.

Sarpanitum: One of my favourite death metal bands of recent times, the Brummie crew, like Bolt Thrower, would be sure to desecrate Inferno and then some. The John Dee would cease to exist!

There's a few more too, but I can't think of them and I'm hungry, so I'm getting some grub. *fucks off*

We dont want none of that power metal nonesence at Inferno!  What next Dream Evil???

I saw them at Heathen Crusade II in Minnesota last year. Was most awesome.

Check their 'My Photos' section, there are a bunch of photos I took of them, and one of me, Caroline, and Lois with Rob and Dave. Lots of fun those lads.

I traveled primarily to see Månegarm and to visit with Caroline, but I found lots of new wondrous music while there, and Maél Mórdha was one of them.

*sigh* Such a wealth of musical talent that just sits at home scratching their shite-encrusted arses all day instead of touring and making a name for themselves. Oh well, there's no telling some people....
