Germanys response to Steel Panther: Spandex, hair roller, hairspray… not to forget kohl – all those things were not a part of a metal-handbag too long. Until now.

Female fronted pagan metal? Exceptions prove the rule! ARKONA from russia became a permanent feature of the scene and owe that, next to the amazing songs, to the voice and charisma of frontwoman “Mascha” Archipowa. This years ROCKHARZ, the sextet is going to come to the Harz. Welcome ARKONA.

AUDREY HORNE
All those who connect Norway with viking and black metal are not that right: AUDREY HORNEs member got their roots in those genres but with their current band, they provide for the way of venerable classic or hard rock. That pretty interesting mixture can be experienced in summer 2013 on our festival.
