I’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to see a lot of bands over the years. I’ve managed to see a lot of bands that I would like to, but there are always those few elusive ones that either don’t tour often, or never tour anywhere that it is feasible to travel to.
I chose not to list any ‘local’ bands, as I know there are upcoming opportunities to catch them live. I have also chosen not to include international bands that I am planning on seeing shortly. I attempted to list only bands that are considered active. There are a few bands no longer active that I would have loved to see (like Vomitory, Dissection, Bathory...). Anyhow, this is my somewhat impossible wish list for 2015:
Bands I have yet to see:
Unleashed
Entrails
Månegarm
Kalmah
Thyrfing
Vampire
Vallenfyre
Bloodbath
Varg
Wolfchant
Waylander
Hypocrisy
Hammer Horde
Põhjast
Frosttide
W.A.S.P.
Bands I would like to see again:
Moonsorrow
Belphegor
Heidevolk
Finntroll
The 69 Eyes
Ex Deo
Poisonblack
Grave
Of course it is tempting to make it out to a show any time that one of my favorite bands comes through town, but these are the short-listed artists I would like to see this year that I have already seen. Granted, neither The 69 Eyes or Poisonblack are as “metal” as the other artists on this list, but I would like to see them again nonetheless.
