We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the addition of Fabio Lione’s Dawn of Victory to this year’s #ProgPowerUSA lineup than to discuss the album they will be playing in its entirety, 2000’s #DawnofVictory from #Rhapsody. (1/2)

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

Too bad Alestorm (and Gloryhammer) are absolute bastards. This is the best crowd shot I've ever seen, and I was one row behind the guy who took the pic.

I've been offered to play ProgPowerUSA, had a direct offer to tour with Heathen, and a chance to buy onto a tour with Queensryche. I declined all of them for logistical/financial reasons

It felt like the perfect time to invite our good friend Milton Mendonça to join us to discuss the future of #ProgPowerUSA with him at the helm starting in 2027! We also chat about his history as a promoter and he drops a few exclusive tidbits about the festival. Episode 253 is live!
