That was unexpected. Kitchen Sink sounds like a hint.

Didn't sombody recently post that one of the members ruled Gloryhammer out? Maybe it was just to throw us off.
Awesome announcement anyway.

Never heard about Poltergeist, will have to check them out.

by **mooyagi** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:04 pm

Woo! Power metal!

by **alex_canada** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:05 pm

Haha at using the sink. Looking forward to Gloryhammer. This isn't a complaint at all, but somewhat predictable that they'll have the same set each time. Never heard of Poltergeist. I never know with these announcements whether it's actually an unknown band, or one I've somehow never heard of and is popular. There have been both.

by **Memnoch** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:06 pm

So, in the spirit of treating different genres equally, where's my Vomitory annoncement?

They were also ruled out by the band members, so can I take it they're on?

Everyone who claimed to have contact with Chris from Alestorm/Gloryhammer reported different things. Not unexpected - Chris is nuts

But a good friend of mine who had contact with him said that due to their recording being delayed he was negotiating with UMC. I love my source for being fucking right!!!!!

Seems like Poltergeist was active from 86 to 94, and reunited last autumn. The old school thrash guys might know them.

by **Stained Class** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:08 pm

Your sources are apparently better than mine!

by **Roadrunner** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:18 pm

Christopher Bowes ! Yeah. Album with Gloryhammer was great.
Poltergeist: I'am an "older" boy, but don`'t know them.

wow a Sunday Announcement

by **bodomdragon** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:50 pm

Listening to Gloryhammer right now for the first time and enjoying it, nice addition! Can anyone provide some links to Poltergeist songs? Never heard of them and the name doesn't make it exactly easy to do research.

by **cowboy71** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 3:02 pm

I've heard of Poltergeist before. The cover for their album Behind The Mask is incredibly familiar:

For those that want to check into them, seems from what I can find that the album "Nothing Lasts Forever" is a good place to start:

Gloryhammer is pretty cool Power Metal Music but it´s also a pretty new / unknown band with only one records. That makes it more easy to "learn" all songs

BTW - now I lost my hope for "huge" announcements... will not come

True, but there was a LOT of people on here requesting them so it makes sense that they'd get offered.

So yeah - that's how I reckon its gonna play out :) Please note the above may or may not constitute bands that I know about that are rumoured to be on broad

Made the above post on 2nd January. Since then we've had

3 US bands
1 German
1 UK
1 Swiss

Good work me

So that leaves us with some Canadian bands, another German, a Finnish, Dutch, maybe Italian, and maybe another UK. Probably another couple of US bands to round it out

by **Sherlock** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 3:13 pm

Gloryhammer !!!! Very happy about this one !!!!

by **STACH100** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 3:26 pm

Another announcement that just fills 2 slots, nothing to get excited about.

First Sunday band announcement in well over a year.

Was really nice to be surprised for a change :) And Gloryhammer was a ridiculously nice surprise.

Agree with the unlikely big band annoucement however Revamp and Wintersun only have 2 albums each and they are two I would most welcome!!!

Everyone already knew the lyrics and were singing along when I saw them. Be prepared for some pretty nerdy fighting lmao
