Rating: 10/10 Release: 20-3-2015 Label: Napalm Records I would have to say that the album I was looking forward to the most in 2015 is the latest from Heidevolk. After the release of “Batavi” in 2012, co-vocalist Joris left in 2013 and was replaced by Lars, so the anticipation of … Continue reading →
Photography by: Toni B. Gunner – www.mondkringel-photography.de For many, many years people were telling me about Rockharz, and how I just had to go there. A festival with an average size (+/- 20.000 people) and a good, diverse line-up every year. There was enough to enjoy for fans of folk … Continue reading →
One of the most popular folk metal bands, Heidevolk from the Netherlands, stated that they had found a new singer at the end of 2013. On the 8th of February they performed for the first time with their new line up at the festival Wolfstijd in Bibelot in Dordrecht.

Just like last year this small festival near Hamburg had and amazing line-up, but next to epic bands, Hörnerfest has so much more to offer. Friday morning early the festival weekend … Continue reading →
Location: Geiselwind, Germany The news about Bayern was pretty bad lately. Heavy rainfall, flooded basements, mudslides and landslides. But still the line-up of the very first edition of Beastival was irresistible, so we jumped in our car for this new German festival. Sabaton, Kreator, Kataklysm, Wintersun and many other great … Continue reading →
Date: 18–5–13 Location: Estrado, Harderwijk It’s a cloudy saturday evening when all metalfans from Gelderland head for a town called Harderwijk. Estrado is quite a new building with enough parking space and I must say it’s a beautiful hall. The first band of the evening was Myrkvar from Nijmegen. This … Continue reading →
Heidevolk exists for 10 years! Reason enough to celebrate this with several concerts. Dynamo in Eindhoven was the last in a series of 5 concerts to celebrate Heidevolks birthday. And I can be short about it; the show was close to perfect. Just to be sure, I’m not going to … Continue reading →
