IGNIS FATUU
Celebrating fastidious Medieval Rock now a days, far off known bands, that have defined and revolutionised the scene, truly is not an easy task. To furthermore invent something genuinely new is even harder. Ignis Fatuu manage the challenge in their very own way: The band does
know how to embed medieval sound in modern sound and thereby creates its
very own music. Influenced on the one hand by punk, on the other hand
in large parts by the driving Hard Rock of the late 80s and early 90s,

the band again and again pulls the audience into their spell. The program is of such versatility that it meets any kind of music taste, from soft ballads over fast rock to hard metal sound.

CESAIR
It had been long since Cesair was heard of last. This prehistoric princess was a beautiful mythological person, and is the main inspiration for a young folk band from Utrecht. Called the granddaughter of Noah, she and her people set out from the land that would one day become the Kingdom of Israel, to flee from the Flood. After many adventures, they reached the then still unpopulated isle of Ireland and settled there.
Aiming to capture this story in music, the band Cesair writes songs that incorporate the musical, spiritual and cultural heritage
|
|
 |
of the countries that lie beneath these lands, creating a mixture of
eastern sounds and rhythms, Celtic dances, and European traditionals.
Since their first gig in November 2010, they have been praised for their
ability to make the audience dance and sing along, and for the
positive, preferably epic vibes that are spread from the stage. Using
various traditional folk instruments, Cesair creates enthralling
melodies that carry you away, as well as uptempo songs that allow you to
swing your hips, move your feet, and shout out an occasional 'yarr!'
and 'harr!'

TrROLLHEIMEN
Blasting bass sounds, massive drums, sublime pipes and opulent sound colours – the group from Paderborn (Germany) commit themselves to rythmic–mystic pipe music and turns the people’s chronometers back to old ancient times of other worlds. Mighty drum machine sounds, phantasmal sounds of forest ghosts and a symbiose of churned rythm and a new composing style put the audience to weird places, such as the laboratorium of Dr. Farold Eisenbaum, the fair of forests or the ship ofthe louche captain long copper.
The shows of the selfnamed cabinett of curiosity are an explosive mixture of medievalism and modernism, old and new, curiosity and mania.
|
|
 |
Through the connection of all factors, such as light, fog, dance and music, TrRollheimen perfomances a show which couples the elements of steampunk with a classic medieval music show.
