It's done! METALFEST is behind us, but we still have a small photo memory for you of the absolutely extraordinary show that finally closed the 14th edition of this festival last night. KING DIAMOND, a legend and one of the most infamous and recognized personalities of world heavy metal, performed a perfectly dark, yet colorful, almost hypnotic show in the Lochotín Amphitheater! As soon as you got on his wave, his unmistakable voice and mysterious charisma took hold of you and didn't let go. With this fantastically bizarre show, he left another indeli...

Dear metalheads, we have some bad news for you this morning. Today at one o'clock in the morning we received sad news from the band HEAVEN SHALL BURN that they cannot participate in our METALFEST OPEN AIR festival today! The reason is yesterday's sudden loss of voice of the band's singer Marcus Bischoff at the Rock Am Ring festival, where HEAVEN SHALL BURN had to end their production right after the first song and went to the hospital with Markus.
At the moment we are no longer able to fill this spot in the program, so we have adjusted today's program, as follows:
...So, it was a truly devilish czardás last night! Thrash-metal hellhounds KREATOR provided the Pilsen METALFEST with a perfect end of the second festival day! The entire Lochotín amphitheater shook to its foundations and the fans went crazy with enthusiasm. Mille and his loyal band uncompromisingly poured one hot hit after another at such a pace that even the heart of an experienced metalhead could not keep up. It was a fantastic spectacle, a bombastic, fiery show. You deserved it, metalheads, this warm visit to hell was for you, as a reward to warm-up after a whole day.
We hope you abs...

Before the first notes of the second day of the METALFEST OPEN AIR festival in Plzeň's Lochotín are heard, we are sending you photos from yesterday's grand finale, which was performed with respectable commitment and enthusiasm by the Dutch WITHIN TEMPTATION. Their shows are always sensational, but yesterday's one seemed to surpass all the others. It seemed that this show came not only from Sharon's heart. It has an incredible power and we hope that it filled you with positive energy and love for metal, just like us. Take a look at the photos.
the photos of LACUNA COIL and EPICA.
The first festival day of the Pilsen METALFEST was a treat for all lovers of beautiful women in metal! Cristina Scabbia from LACUNA COIL even accepted the birthday greetings she received on stage with undisguised emotion, which were unexpectedly given to her by Sharon den Adel from WITHIN TEMPTATION and Simone Simons from EPICA. The entire band gave their best on stage. EPICA then took the stage with a traditionally perfect, epic show that lacked absolutely nothing to the satisfaction of every fan.
Here is the final for today's festival...

... giant tortoise at the Pilsen Zoo! METALFEST is full of experiences not only for festival visitors!
The beautiful Sharon Den Adel from the metal band WITHIN TEMPTATION christened a male giant tortoise at the Pilsen Zoo this afternoon, as part of the 14th edition of the METALFEST! She gave him an interesting name with a story. The name Baba-Haplo Edward is a tribute to her father, whom she waved to the sky on that occasion.
The tortoise was named after a wooden turtle talisman from Indonesia, which Sharon gave to her dad and which then traveled with him e...
