Blind Guardian confirmed!
Published: December 13 2022 at 08:34
Now we can proudly present BLIND GUARDIAN, who were one of the pioneer bands in the genre we call Power Metal. The band was already formed in 1984 by Hansi Kürsch (vocals, bass) and Andre Olbrich (guitar) under the name Lucifer's Heritage, but when they signed a record deal with No Remorse Records, they changed their name to Blind Guardian to avoid speculation about Satanism. Since the debut album "Battalions of Fear" (1988), the band has released 11 more albums. From the beginning it was a lot of speed metal, but already by the third record "Tales From the Twilight World" (1990), the band started to write more complicated music. From the sixth album "Nightfall in Middle Earth" (1998), the band's music took the form that most probably associate them with today. Bombastic songs with orchestral arrangements, double stomp and Hansi Kürsch's epic lyrics influenced by fantasy authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, Stephen King, George R. R. Martin and others. Don't miss this legendary band that will deliver a gig you will never forget!

Sham 69 cancel , Brothers of Metal steps in! Unfortunately, we have to announce that Sham 69 is canceling their gig, as one of the members suddenly fell ill. We know that many people have been looking forward to this gig, but it's obviously nothing we can do about it. They have also promised to try to get Time To Rock into their schedule for the 2024 festival. With such short notice, we obviously can't have time to find another legendary British punk band, but we can in any case proudly present one of Dalarna's biggest, best and toughest bands: BROTHERS OF METAL who came to our rescue and are...

Unique art exhibition at this years festival Antecedent Death Aesthetics Of Mortality - A Death Mask Project By Tom Gabriel Warrior The fury captured in the music by Swiss groups Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, and Triptykon ranks among the most pivotal influences on the extreme, black, gothic, doom and avant- garde metal genres. The common thread linking these bands is founding member and main songwriter, Tom Gabriel Warrior (née Tom Gabriel Fischer, voice/guitars). Concurrently primitive yet curiously intricate, Warrior's compositions evoke stark and compelling vistas reminiscent of writings of H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Aleister Crowley, and Charles Baudelaire. Lyrically, Warrior delves into all areas associated with civilizations crumbling...
