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.

Good evening everyone,

for all who are interested. Live guitarist Tobias from Månegarm has captured a nice vlog with some impressions from their point of view.
Thanks for this insight \m/

A bit late, but better than never.
We first had to process all these great impressions, besides, there is always a little bit to do afterwards.

Once again, we have to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. The bands were awesome, all the Bornstedt people made sure everything went smoothly, the security and paramedics made sure we were safe, and the vendors provided us with delicious food and great merch.
But most of all we can only say 1000x thanks to our wonderful crew again. You did a great job, created a great atmosphere and made sure everything went smoothly. The same goes for you the guests! Thank you for all your support and loyalty. Without you we could not organize the festival. The conversations with you, the happy faces we look into and the more than fantastic atmosphere you spread are simply unique!

Here is a nice crew picture from this year \m/
