Well, there are two other bands on my Snakepit-wishlist:
White Spirit and Steel Angel. Unless you covered them in issue no. 1, which is the only one missing in my collection.
And there's a new band from Austin, TX that I recommend to anyone into Texas heavy progressive stuff: Meyvn. I did a review in German for this website and love their first 'Last rites'-album that they put out as a cd-r. Amazing singer and guitar player, excellent ideas, riffs and arrangements from start to finish. I can see them going a long way and they really deserve a feature in the 'Pit. Their style is somewhere between A & Z, meaning Anacrusis & Zero Hour.
They're very communicative as well. Website:
