Our site is dedicated to everything rock and metal with a few sidesteps in music that appeals to the same music fans like synthwave, neo (pagan) folk, industrial,… But some of us do have a taste for music and art that goes beyond these limitations. Enter “GRIMM goes rogue”: where you’ll get a metalhead, punker, rocker,… who ventures into realms beyond their usual habitat with an open mind and give their honest opinion, views and experiences.

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open."

Frank Zappa



We caught Auri live at Tampere-Talo last weekend, one of their first shows ever, which was whimsical and filled with emotions!

Last Friday, the highly anticipated third album by Auri, ‘III – Candles & Beginnings’, was released with Nuclear Blast and to celebrate they shared a lyric video for the track ‘Blakey Ridge’. Catch them live the coming months on their first tour ever!

And to wrap up the second edition of Litha Fest in style, we had Garters and Giggles and Dwayne Pyro treat us on a magical fire ritual!

There was so much more to do at the second edition of our event Litha Fest besides checking out the musical performances! You could learn how to folk dance with Balhalla, or how to sword fight with SwArta, get yourself a massage from De Viking Masseur, check out the many unique vendors that showed up or just simply enjoy the wonderful atmosphere!

On the second and smaller stage in Asgaard, we got to enjoy enchanting shows of Gentse Folk Studenten, Sanseveria, and Eleni Neldë at the second edition of our festival Litha Fest!

Construction

A little love for our volunteers who helped build Litha Fest 2025! Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible!

The second edition of our very own ‘Litha Fest’ festival brought performances of Hexacurse, Blod Dyr, Serpents Oath, Vanaheim, Prima Nocta and Arkona to the main stage about a month ago!

Sowulo converses with death on the new single ‘Sōl ond Māni’, out now and another track unveiled of the upcoming album NIHT, out at the end of August via Season of Mist!
