The Black Metal band Drudensang was founded in 2013 by Krámpn together with Skilnir and Blodspan and is based in the Bavarian Forest, on the border to Austria and the Czech Republic. It emerged from the band Ravnsvart, which was founded in 2009.

The name Drudensang is made up of the words “Druden”, a witch creature from the Bavarian Forest, a kind of night alb, and “Sang”, an old German curse, today used as “chant”.

Krámpn is very much rooted in the Krampus and Percht tradition and practices the customs handed down from generation to generation with his heart and soul. It is a central aspect of his life. Drudensang is his personal life's work, in which he reflects these traditions with the associated legends, figures and myths.

In 2013, the first demo "Rehearsal 1 – Dunkle Tradition" was released. Further releases (demos, live albums, EPs and splits) followed in short intervals. (See "Releases".) Musically, Drudensang is clearly located in the 2nd wave of Black Metal. The first demos were still characterised by a very raw style, which over the years was refined further and further into the sound that is currently typical for Drudensang: atmospheric Black Metal with an old school touch as the perfect soundtrack to the wild doings of Krampen and Perchten during the Rauhnächten.

Drudensang has been performing regularly since 2015. These performances are celebrated with ritualistic intensity and in the spirit of the traditional, wild

The Black Forest – marked by mystical landscapes, its spirit rules the southwestern German souls. Its wealth of brute power and mightiness led a dark horde to the decision to embody the beauty of the Black Forest in a musical way, back in 2004.

Hitting the stages in 2007, a decent public attention was attracted and after the publication of the debut EP "Wiege der Finsternis" and the debut album "Weltenkraft", the horde found a new home at the German record label Einheit Produktionen.

The second studio album "...zum Tode hin" was introduced to the public in early 2009 and could deeply satisfy a wide range of different
musical preferences.

It`s the year 2012 – to date, a frightening large amount of knuckles of pork along with a greatly exaggerated quantity of Schnaps was consumed and countless breathtaking concerts were performed. With a new singer at the front and a third fully produced studio album, the band signed a contract with the Austrian label Napalm Records. "Rastlos" represents the new status of Finsterforst and exceeds everything that has been done before.

The era of Black Forest Metal has begun! With "Mach Dich Frei" Finsterforst has released their fourth full length album.

As you all know, patience is rewarded the more, the more long one can bear the waiting.
As well as here: apparently endlessly long lasted it until these studious Thuringian Pagan Metal heros had placed its new album spectacle ~Weltenbrand~ such brilliant ready. Yet the truly breathtaking gigantic musical goodness of this terrific epic grand masterpiece compensates even the most impatients among the fans of the East German horde in amply manner!

As to expect, Gernotshagen have developed powerfully forwards and that immediately in all conceivable creative concerns: therefore the participants fortunately did lift their output generally and so these new songs are their very best until now at all. Superficial critics, who reproach the heathen heavy metal scene again and again gladly, that Pagan Metal became degenerated to a bloodless and empty genre, get by means of ~Weltenbrand~ such an extent fat and delicious feast pressed into the ears that it persistently deeply intoxicates the eardrums.

With the help of a really bombastically sounding top production, these frenetic heathen power songs are all too easily able to raise the swirled up senses of the listeners into highest appreciative heights. Actually the conviction-culprits Gernotshagen produced its new compositions such completed and such convexed arranged, that this fantastic album advances with a big blow quickly to an classic of German Pagan Metal.

The heathen heros around the shockingly express
