[yameyameyame]

If it makes you feel any better, I did not go to this year's Pagan Fest and missed one of my favorite bands, Korpiklaani :(

[wakuwaku18]

could hardly hear the guitar of eluveitie... good thing they turned it up near the end :)

[hilltoprocks]

"Race with the wind, the night is ending. They will win, when the sun is rising..." such a great song! thanks for sharing this. great video by the way!

this is kinda my fav song from ensiferum but i like all of them

[manann]

My friend was at this and he said Ensiferum were band of the night. He said Eluvetie were fairly good too. He didn't seem to think much of Tyr's performance:)

[yameyameyame]

I've always loved Ensiferum, Turisas and Eluveitie almost equally and I thought they all performed amazingly and had great stage presence.

Tyr was "meh" in comparison. Ensiferum is so "pump up," Turisas is so epic and Eluveitie so folksy there was always something there to hold your attention. Tyr's got that basic guitar-bass-drums-vocals setup which, coupled with the slowness of their songs, just doesn't hold up with the others.

It wasn't that Tyr was "meh" they just had such a short set that we basically didn't hear any of their songs.

[yameyameyame]

The short set was all I could ask for, at that point. I was there for the other bands, I didn't really care much about Tyr in the first place. I would probably have enjoyed them more if the bands after weren't so awesome. But since they were, the whole time Tyr was playing I was thinking "I hope they leave soon, I want Eluveitie!"

Except during "Hail to the Hammer," that song is awesome anytime.

[manann]

by the way do any of you like Cruachan and Waylander?

[yameyameyame]

I love Cruachan, I haven't heard much Waylander though.

[manann]

you should try reawakening pride once lost by Waylander. great celtic metal:) i call it celtic metal cause they use a tin-whistle, a bodhran and sing about the celts:)

[manann]

Tyr only have one good album, and that is Eric The Red, in my opinion. If they did a gig where they only played songs off that album i'd be happy. Otherwise wi would not have much interest in seeing them.
