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

A band is an idea. It can exist as a vision in the architect’s mind- but never complete. It is when this vision reaches its audience, it turns into something more and greater than the sum of its parts. An artist can reach his audience through images, stories and crafts. Our art comes from a spoken culture – a musical culture – and it is from the stage it shall be conveyed.
OUR HISTORY
We were there when Norwegian extreme metal grew forth and took shape as an enormous cultural export. We played far and wide. At home and abroad. We were part of something new. Something special and innovative. We were there when Norwegian metal gathered and inspired thousands. We were there and swung the hammer when Viking metal was forged as a unique expression that later inspired countless bands, worldwide. Now the horns of war sound again. And Einherjer is there. Behind us we have an array of albums – some of which stand as milestones in a genre of explosive growth.
OUR HERITAGE – OUR VISION
Our Norse heritage is a phenomenon that reaches far beyond what one can hear alone. It is an amalgamation of the mystique and sagas of old, of songs and poems, of woodcutting and sword grinding and the vikings merciless way of life. It’s a cultural patchwork that fills the consciousness with the brutal majesty of the Nordic nature, the elemental strain, of mighty longships plowing the black seas to reach unknown shores. The wisdom of the gods and

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 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.

culture. During these first stages of the band, three demos were presented to the Portuguese metal scene and dozens of gigs were
performed throughout Portugal.
In 2007, Gwydion prepared to record their first full-length album "Ynys Mön". Their originality and effort triggered the interest of the
German label TROLLZORN, which offered a contract to release the album. With Ynys Mön, Gwydion finally started to draw some
international attention and ultimately received an invitation to make an European tour in October 2008 with top bands TYR,
HOLLENTHON, ALESTORM, and SVARTSOT: the RAGNAROK AASKEREIA'S TOUR.
During 2009, Gwydion played in nearly all major metal Portuguese metal festivals, delivering a distinct sound and attitude, and received
continuously great feedback. At the end of the year, Gwydion finished the recordings and production of their second album "Horn
Triskelion". "Horn Triskelion" truly represented fifteen years of accumulated experience and ideas. The readers of Portugal's biggest metal
magazine LOUD magazine have chosen GWYDION to be the 2nd best band over 2010 + their album "Horn Triskelion" was considered
the 3rd best album of 2010!
In 2013, Gwydion presents "VETERAN". Fans will experience a slightly different musical-style, as the music is much more epic and
"metal" than folk compared

Jord is an atmospheric Black Metal band with Blackgaze and post rock influences founded in 2020 as a one-man project by Jurg. Based in Sweden the inspiration came from northern nature, folk lore, mysticism, a man’s relation to this part of the earth and bands like Alcest, Enslaved, Anathema and Russian Circles. Two albums were released by Northern Silence Productions, “Sol” in 2021 and “Måne” 2022. Jord transformed into a trio in late 2022 and the new demo songs got attention from Hammerheart Records. A few months later a full studio recording of the third album ”Tundra”, in this new band setting, was done.

SAXORIOR created their own particular style, in the vein of Death Metal – yet somehow different. The lyrical concept is based around antonymous topics like life and death, the universe, creation and decline. In December 1995, the CD was introduced on "Radio Energy". After the new keyboard player Frank Nitzsche had joined the line-up, several concerts e.g. with Eminenz, Benediction and Iced Earth followed.
