Texas doom legends SOLITUDE AETURNUS, San Diego female-fronted metallers BENEDICTUM & Belgium's up-and-coming death/doom metallers THURISAZ have been confirmed for CHICAGO POWERFEST 2007. The 5th annual metal festival will take place on Friday, April 20th and Saturday, April 21st at The Pearl Room in Mokena, IL.

Solitude Aeturnus will be playing in support of their critically acclaimed new album, "Alone", and this will be their first Midwest US performance in almost three years. Benedictum, who are recently coming off their European tour with DORO, will be playing in support of their latest album "Uncreation", and this will be their first ever Midwest performance. Thurisaz, who are recently coming off their European tour with Novembers Doom & Agalloch, will be making their US debut & also be playing in support of their upcoming new album "Circadian Rhythm", released in March. Co-Promoter & Twelfth Gate bassist Rob Such also adds, "While on my recent trip to Europe with friends Novembers Doom, I was able to watch openers Thurisaz kick ass every night...and I really felt that they deserved a chance to leave the same lasting impression on this year's Powerfest audience just as they did on me & the audiences throughout Europe."

Stop your fucking spamming, bawbag.

Didn't mean to spam... Its just that there are bands on the lineup that include Power metal, Death metal and Doom metal, so I thought posting the annoucement in all 3 subforums would be relevant.

It's a pretty cool fest... Just tryin' to spread the word!

There is a General Music Discussion section, putting it there would have sufficed.

I understand your thought process, but posting the same topic in three different threads is never a good idea, even if it does apply to multiple genres. In this case, putting it in the General Musc forum, as EI suggested, would have been best. In fact, it's going there now!

That said, it is a good lineup so far and I'll probably go. It's not often good doom bands play in the US.
