Unfortunately, there seems to be no interest for that sort of thing, which is a real shame. Plus the whole "beautiful classical vocals + death growls" is just very very overdone at this point.
Oh good, I'm not alone in noticing the void in the DC/MD/VA area then I've been looking for a Kamelot/Epica type band for a couple of years now, with no luck (hence my joining here and other similar sites). Jaxx used to bring in the bands but it seems to be dying out here, so it's getting pretty miserable here in NoVa.
(I also apologize for bumping a dead thread, lol)
