KORPIKLAANI Jonne Järvelä comments:

“I'm more than excited to be touring Europe with such a great group of bands. We've known each other for decades and that's why I might feel a little old. Fortunately, a carefree, joyous, unrestrained, wild, fun, exhilarating, intoxicating, unconventional, extravagant and hilarious tour life is so healthy and refreshing that it keeps us young and fresh. Come along and you'll be surprised by the amazing and crazy nights with us. Fun is guaranteed!"

FINNTROLL comments:

"This is no ordinary tour — it is a march of madness and glory across Europe!

Our strings are tuned to mischief, and at last we will tour side by side with our friends in Korpiklaani and TrollfesT, strengthened by Heidevolk and Oddwood. This tour brings forth a storm of dark tunes, overflowing ale, and untamed revelry.

Expect nights where reality bends, ancient spirits stir, and the line between myth and madness disappear. Join the horde, this will be legendary!"

HEIDEVOLK comments:

"Hello fellow heathens! After the crazy successful Paganfest tour earlier this year, we are once again invited to join a legendary tour making its long awaited return: HEIDENFEST!

Together with our longtime friends and colleagues from Korpiklaani, Finntroll, Trollfest, and The Dread Crew of Oddwood, we will embark on a European road trip to bring you the songs we couldn’t play at Paganfest.

Get ready for a legendary night of exquisite folk metal madness, and raise your horns with the Pagan Metal Brotherhood!

”

TROLLFEST comments:

"The ultimate tour package straight out of our moistest, wildest dreams has arrived! Korpiklaani and Finntroll — the very reasons TrollfesT was spawned into existence — are leading the charge. Add our beloved drinking brothers Heidevolk and the utterly unhinged Dread Crew of Oddwood, and you’ve got yourself a tour destined for glory! This is not just a tour… this is history, covered in beer foam, accordions, and questionable decisions!”

THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD comments:

"Sharpen your crab claws and prepare for an evening of ultimate folk metal fun, 'cause we're bringing Heavy Mahogany back to Europe! We can’t wait to feast alongside the legendary bands on this tour and share a night of nautical debauchery with you all!”

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids. I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows. NEW POLICY REGARDING ITP V.018 VS. SYNDICATES: RSS FEED BY PERMISSION ONLY. FEEDS/syndicates are a pain to manage, and can be claimed and controlled by someone other than the blogs primary author. ITP V.015 new policy does NOT allow FEEDS without permission and consent from ITP's author.Consent means sign up for said syndicate, chances are, ITP V.013 was taken without CONSENT, and not without express written consent. ITP does NOT endorse sexism, fascism, racism homophobia nor porn NONE of that, and ITP is NOT responsible for any statements or actions via readers, artists or bands, separating the artists and musicians from ITP V.018's author. All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels. ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music. ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..

ITP is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal. ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS. SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?. BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality. If you subscribe to ITP don't forget to come straight to this blog for updates, videos, REVIEWS, pics for ITP's multimedia extreme metal experience. To enjoy ITP, you MUST have a BANDCAMP, YOU TUBE or/and SPOTIFY account to headbang. BTW, I almost forgot to mention, ITP is visible via BLOGSPOT, target FACEBOOK. So add ITP is under said bloggers given name on FACEBOOK. Not all ITP V.018 posts show up on the main feed nor get passed my timeline (isn't that the truth on FB, only 15% of posts end up in the main feed passed your timeline). Just switch your setting to "SEE FIRST" under ITP editors given name, and you'll see ITP V..024 BLOGSPOT posts. ..Or/and join ITP syndicates.
