This fest looks somehow weak to me in its structure. Anyway on this day I'll be at SWR Barroselas Metalfest or in Madrid seeing Agalloch... so I'm surely not going to this.

Why do you say it's weak in structure?

My Enchantment and especially Holocausto Canibal definitely doesn't look weak up on this bill, if this was meant.

I think he was referring to other stuff like organization maybe because the line-up is great as far as I'm concerned, especially the Portuguese bands are all very good.

Yeap, I'm saying it because of the promoter and organization. The lineup is good (never heard about Inffection, but the band is friend with the promoter). Ava Inferi is great live, saw Holocausto Canibal twice and My Enchantment five times. *seal of approvement*

I would love to see Therion but unfortunatly I won't be able to be there Holocausto Canibal doesn't fit this festival...

I'm so there! After Therion was confirmed even more. A lot of people were doubting this would be possible. And yes, compared to the other bands, Holocausto Canibal is kinda off. You should come, who knows when Therion will play here again.

Last time I've seen Therion was in Spain in 2002... in the end of the gig we waited for the band and asked Cristofer for concerts in Portugal. He said it was difficult because of the distance and it was not worthwhile, maybe referring a bad experience in our country.

Haggard will come to Lisbon too.. one or two band more and maybe the festival will open doors in the morning

Now with Finsterforst, this will be a festival to remember in our small country.

If you consider your country to be small, than ours is the miniature one

lol It is kinda a miniature country yours which doesn't mean anything but we do have a small country in comparison to our neighbours Spain for instance.

Oh god, the festival changed almost all the alignment: Crematory, Haggard and Finsterforst cancelled and Therion will play two hours instead of 90 min.

People are saying that Crematory cancelled because they wanted flight tickets for the band (of course) and more 8 family members, including 2 daughters aged 12. Basically they wanted a holiday in Portugal paid by the organization and now they are claiming "broken contract commitments". I don't think a first year organization have the money to make this type of commitments, but in the other hand why the other two bands also cancelled? It's a first year organization and things are very shaky, let's hope the concert will be great

Well, I wish I wasn't saying this but...

I was right all the time.

Yes you were right sir, this promoter is leaving a bad reputation to our country and a wound hard to heal . At the time I'm writing this (the first band is already playing) Therion is waiting at the hotel for the final payment in order perform tonight.

Man, this fest is looking like the one I weas last year here in Brazil.

We only knew about the cancelations when we were there. That was a massive blow... and I even told you about the camping hahahahaha

Yes, unfortunately it was very shitty organization and we were lucky we even got some bands to show up and Therion to play and got paid last minute.

Therion did a great job under the circumstances though, a very professional band and they did everything to play. They finally got paid and did the show. It won't erase all the mess but not everything was lost as it could've been.

One month after the concert, looks like Therion didn't received the promised payment. Chris asked for the help of portuguese lawyers via facebook, because the payment documents which allowed them to play were false. Too sad to be true

Where did you see that? Anyway, this is terrible.
