Last year it was <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/category\/estonia\/>Estonia<\/a> and <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/category\/saint-petersburg\/>Russia<\/a>. The year before it was <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/category\/budapest\/>Hungary<\/a> and <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/category\/switzerland\/>Switzerland<\/a>. This year, if all goes well, I will visit Poland and Slovenia for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>My Slovenian plans are centered on MetalDays, and the festival has just announced five more bands (Devin Townsend, Green Carnation, Oceans of Slumber, Cypecore, and M\u00d8L)&#8211;all of which I&#8217;m excited to see for the first time. I&#8217;ve been a Devin Townsend fan for a long time, but I&#8217;ve never seen him live before. This summer, again if things go as planned, I&#8217;ll see him at least twice. Green Carnation became my obsession about 18 years ago when I listened to the 60 minute &#8220;Light of Day, Day of Darkness&#8221; many, many times. I&#8217;m guessing they don&#8217;t play that one live. \ud83d\ude41 I was gearing up to see Oceans of Slumber last summer at <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/tag\/brutal-assault-festival\/>Brutal Assault<\/a>, but they played at the same time as Demolition Hammer so that didn&#8217;t happen. Cypecore I&#8217;m not familiar with. And, even though they are a Danish band, M\u00d8L never seems to be playing when I&#8217;m in Denmark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I enjoy experiencing at least one new country every year.
