We were very pleased to meet Helle Bohdanova, vocalist of Ignea from Ukraine, for an interview in early May 2023. Ignea’s new album Dreams Of Lands Unseen had just been released a few days before.

30 years Rockharz – here we come!
We can call it a successful festival 2022, resulting into an already sold out festival 2023. The date is 5th to 8th July 2023 with the possibility to arrive from 4th on. It is the place which creates legends and tales to be told at the campfire from generation to generation of headbangers!
Ignea – Dreams of Lands Unseen
It took quite a while to release the album. Due to the circumstances and war in their Ukrainian home, it had to be postponed from 2022 to 2023. Now the waiting in over. “Dreams Of Lands Unseen” will finally be released and I am indeed quite impressed. Of course Helle’s outstanding vocals are the highlight of Ignea’s sound and I really appreciate the evolution of the band.
NanowaR Of Steel – Comedian Metal Live
I witnessed two Italian power packs. Both bands know, how to enchant the audience. The combination of Power Metal and Comedy Metal was incredible. For Frozen Crown the tour ends three days later. NanowaR Of Steel continue the second half with Tragedy as special guest. I hope to see both bands again this year, either on a festival somewhere in Europe or during another indoor show.
Rock & Metal Day’z – ARE YOU READY?
The open air festival season 2023 will start soon. One of the earliest festivals are the Rock & Metal Day’z. They are located next to Motorsportarena Oschersleben.
Rock & Metal Day’z Vegan Specialty
Last year at the Rock & Metal Day'z I stumbled over a perfect vegan meal. Tasty, not expensive and easy to make with a little preparation. I asked Ute Horn, the cook for the recipe so here it is. If you want to try Ute’s original Mac ‘n’ Cheese come over for this year’s Rock & Metal Day’z next to Motorsportarena Oschersleben. Amongst the bands are April Art, Fire Rose, Motor Jesus, Bonded and many others!
Nachtblut – Vanitas –
Tonight we will experience two remarkable German bands of a sold-out concert tonight, Nachtblut and special guest Asenblut. LET'S GET BLOODY NOW!
The Hellfreaks – Pitch Black Sunset
Pitch Black Sunset contains no fillers but only killers. Each song, even the very short ones, is a little gem on its own. The lyrics, even when wrapped in catchy melodies are very heavy stuff.
Zsuzsa “Shakey Sue” – Meet the Hellfreak(s)
Today we will talk with Zsuzsa „Shakey Sue” Radnóti, vocalist of Hungarian The Hellfreaks. We would talk about hair dye, cats, tattoos, life style and a little bit about music and The Hellfreaks’ new album “Black Pitch Sunset”.
EPICA – APOCALYPTICA
The bands of tonight are Dutch Epica and Finnish Apolcalyptica with their guest vocalist Franky Perez. It will be ‘Symphonic Power Metal’ in one way or another: In a rather classic sense of the term that we have long known from Epica and Metal powered by all but symphonic cellos the way only Apocalyptica can deliever. Support act of the tour and third band are Finnish prog-metalists Wheel but read yourself...
