Probably some. I knew nothing about it, the promotion was terrible, thats one of the reasons. But It wasnt their fault.

Used to love Metal Church but everything they released after Hanging in the Balance was instantly forgettable. Ronnie Munroe has got have THE most generic voice in metal. It's like somebody took Tony Martin's vocals and removed any remaining traces of charisma and enthusiasm.
That said, I can't stress how much I love their debut, The Dark, The Human Factor, Blessing in Disguise and HITB.

I think so..
That was my first festival, I'll never forget how amazing it was! I was absolutely off my face the whole weekend, and it was awesome how close the tents were to the arena, so easy to go between bands and down loads of beer :P
aaaah good times
