The next Sundays are peppered with a band confirmation each at the usual time at 7 pm.
Today we are happy to confirm the headliner for Thursday.
They are no stranger's to us and we are happy that after their second gig ever in 2015 and the first outside their home country, they now return to our majestic castle ruin.
The Caledonian metal band from beautiful Scotland has released five albums and one compilation to date. After playing several festivals and tours on international terrain, they have become the absolute scene greats in atmospheric folk black metal.
Look forward to a thrilling and goosebump-inducing show by Saor!

Today we can confirm a young Dutch band, which has become an absolute live power in a very short time. Stormy elemental forces meet danceable rhythms, hard neckbreakers and sublime melodies. With this energetic mix of epic pagan metal and the classic, catchy folk metal, they know exactly how to animate the audience and make them go crazy. They're formed in 2015, released an EP in 2017 and their debut album earlier this year.
We're looking forward to Vanaheim!

HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT!

We are happy to announce the first headliner.
With more than 30 years of band history they are real Blackend Death Metal veterans. With razor sharp riffs, dark sounds and an incredible dynamic the Swedes present us an absolute force of nature of music!
In all these years the band has released new albums, three EPs and three demos.
We are already looking forward to a ripping show from NECROPHOBIC.

Today we like to announce the next band for our Dark Troll \m/.
Horda of Waldtraene is not unknown in the scene. In 2020 he founded his solo project and meets exactly the tooth of time. In February, the first album called "Frostwärts" was released and knows how to inspire the Pagan and Black Metal scene.
With the new Pagan hope FIRN Horda dives into new realms and presents his spirituality and an animistic worldview by means of black-tinged, epic-atmospheric Pagan Metal. This emerald will celebrate it's live premiere at the castle ruin!

We are happy to confirm another band for the Dark Troll.
This time we are going to get in touch with the beautiful Hungary.
As many of you know we are known since the Dark Troll exists to invite at least one band per year for their first ever show in Germany.
We don't want to take away this tradition and present you a real treat.

The band Frost, active since 1996, has released three demos, three EPs, two split CDs and five albums. The project influenced by nature and paganism belongs to the top of the Hungarian black metal.
We hope you are looking forward to their first German show as much as we are!

Listen up. As mentioned this morning, we would like to announce the first band, which is absolutely outstanding.
Out of nowhere and totally exclusive they play after TWELVE YEARS of silence one selected show at our beautiful Schweinsburg. On top of that, this is the only open air show!
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of our friends from TrollZorn and due to the persistence of one person of our crew, the exceptional band KromleK got together again to celebrate the anniversary of this extraordinary label.
We are happy and feel more than honored that a long cherished wish of many finally comes true.
With a cross-section of their musical work we can finally enjoy the timeless Pagan Metal of the Bavarian band again at the castle ruin.
