Festivals
RMD’z 2024 – Here We Come!
If you read our festival reports from 2022 and 2023, you will understand that this is not a "normal" commercial metal festival, but a very special one. The Rock & Metal Day'z is organised by the charity organisation M.A.DE. for Kids e.V. Its mission is to help children and young people in need and their families. One focus is cancer aid. All proceeds and donations go to this charity. So, what's a better reason to go to a metal festival?
June News
For the June News we are going to focus on some open air festivals we have in mind. Here are our recommendations for this month. We will be busy at Rock & Metal Day'z as part of The Crew and at Rockharz Festival, so there will be no July-news, but we will feed your appetite for metal with reports and pics afterwards instead.

In 2023 we saw the best line-up ever at the Rockharz Festival near Ballenstedt/Harz, according to the comments of most visitors. You could call it a very successful festival 2023 and 30th anniversary party, which resulted in an already sold-out festival 2024 on August 21st, even though only a few bands were confirmed.
“Music is the greatest channel for our frustration”
Finnish hardcore outfit Heathen Heart started only a few years ago, but is already making an impact. This tight knit group of seasoned musician makes direct, hard-hitting songs. Their music is heavy and emotional at the same time and is inspired by a variety of styles. One can sense that they have true passion for music and an interpersonal chemistry, that drives the creative process.
