...from last night

We welcome you to the Lochotín amphitheater on the last, third day of the festival. Last night we spent here singing and dancing on a wild party with the tireless Finnish KORPIKLAANI, followed by a real "Bloody Heavy Metal Mass", as the preacher himself says, Attila Dorn from the wolf party POWERWOLF. During their fiery sermon, everyone present absorbed and embraced their spirit of metal, and this evening dark mass that POWERWOLF performed left everyone firmly believing in true heavy metal.

Today we continue with the third day. Look forward to another dive...

The second day of the METALFEST festival in Pilsen's Lochotín amphitheater is approaching its grand finale. The forest clan KORPIKLAANI is already rampaging on stage and slowly approaching today's grand finale! POWERWOLF are going to strengthen the metal faith in the hearts of you all tonight…listen to their fiery sermon and receive the sacrament of metal from them.

Take a look at the photos from this afternoon.

We wish you a pleasant festival evening.

Last night shined the devilish Swedish band AVATAR, which did not let the ears, eyes, legs, hands, head or brain rest. Their show was completely crazy and twisted and probably left no one in doubt as to who now rules the "world behind the mirror".

ARCH ENEMY then lit up the stage not only with lights and rich pyrotechnics, but mainly with their masterful and professional performance. The charming singer Alissa Whit...

If a survey was commissioned to find out at which shows audiences are at their most boisterous, FREEDOM CALL would definitely be among the leading acts.

And that's exactly what they managed to document at last year's METALFEST in PILSEN and preserve it forever thanks to CD and Blu-ray! A new release from FREEDOM CALL is called ...
