I am pleased to announce @ANCIIENTS is confirmed to perform next year on Day 2. Their latest album, "Beyond the Reach of the Sun" has received worldwide attention since its release this past August and is on several "Best of the Year" lists, including Glenn's and mine. -Milton

Surprise. By posting his a few days earlier than normal, I'm hoping for a bit more chatter on it this time around. Cheers. - Glenn

One of the metal scene’s finest people lost everything last night. I consider author & industry guru, Jeff Wagner, a treasure trove of metal history and a hell of a nice guy as well. Throw a few bucks his way if you can spare. -Glenn

[CRUCIAL BLAST @CrucialBlast]

Jeff Wagner, an important writer/ historian in the underground music field (not to mention a solid dude), has just suffered an unimaginable tragedy. Luckily he and his wife Adrienne are safe, but they lost their entire home as well as multiple pets.

Symphony X returns to close out the fest next year. Anyone recall when they opened with The Divine Wings of Tragedy and closed with The Odyssey last time? Less than 50 tickets remain.
