Production for The ProgPower X DVD is enormous this year with quality surpassing anything previously captured. All bands both nights and the pre-party bands have agreed to appear on the PPX DVD. As a result the amount of production involved is daunting…audio and video files are spread across the globe in the studios of many of this year’s artists. Many are being produced in our studio’s here in the states. The project is large and complex, but the production is still on track. Shipping date is to be announced.

We are excited to announce a bonus band for 2010′s ProgPower USA XI.

It’s our way of saying thank you for your continued support of the festival.

Leaves’ Eyes will be appearing in support of their new album Njord. You can find out more information about the band on the band page. Their brand new video for the song My Destiny can be viewed on the media page.

Kamelot have recently released the video for “Love you To Death” (in case you have not already seen it).

The video was shot in Belgrade, Serbia by the team at ICode. It is one of the featured songs on Kamelot’s last album, “Ghost Opera-The Second Coming,” released on SPV/Steamhammer.

All the cool kids are doing it…

Ok, we really just find it useful and fun. Last year we tweeted from behind the scenes at the festival and had a blast letting you all in on little snippets and thoughts as they happened.
