Wednesday started with a visit to the Teufelsmauer and a view over the campsite but then it was time for some metal music for the next four days.

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.
RMD’z – Building Up a Festival from Scratch
Have you ever wondered how much effort it takes to set up a festival from scratch? How everything is set up and how long it takes with how many roadies, assistants, specialists? Then read on to find out how Rock & Metal Day'z 2023 is built from the ground up. To say so, RMD'z from scratch.

Rockharz 2024 – get ready!
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.
Wanted Inc. – Dead For The First Time
Dead for the First Time is not dead for the first time, but very much alive. Fresh and alive. Hungry and alive. Thrash and alive at its best. The album reminds me in many aspects of early Metallica and the “Big Four” of Thrash Metal. Two aspects certainly are the harsh vocals combined with very tight and precise guitar structures.
Mysterica and Major Overdrive
What could be better than having your own birthday concert if you're a true metalhead? Especially if you have your own band? Exactly, giving your own concert for your friends! This happened this weekend at the VAZ Burglengenfeld. The birthday boy in this case was none other than Flo Schmöller, singer of Mysterica and Wanted Inc.
Fire Rose – Album Release Party
That is the perfect entertainment, a real Rock and Roll party. Usually, when a show is over and you got to go home, you leave after the last note or latest after buying your piece of merch or a CD. Not this time, Fire Rose join their audience immediately after the show. They also offer a free drink in form of a cask of apple wine to raise the glasses together for the sake of Rock and Roll music. It will take hours until the last guest leaves the venue...
