Back to all the FV + CS compilation
Tom & Jerry cover Finntroll
Värttinä is Finland's most successful contemporary folk music group. Fronted by three female singers and supported by six acoustic musicans, composes most of their music and lyrics based on traditional Karelian and other Finno-ugric styles but with modern and thoroughly distinctive and orginal arrangements. They were formed in 1983!!! and passed through different line-ups in all their history.
A must know if you like folk music!
Värttinä - Käppee
I have talked about Boney Nem in one of the first posts of this section, they are a funny russian band which started like Thrash-Death and they developed into a Industrial Death Metal style. They have lots of cover songs, and I think this one of the Värttinä's Käppee totally rocks!

Heathen Pride Fest 2009: the end of the mistery
Heathen Pride Fest is no more a real event. The owner of the myspace of the Pagan Metal festival told in January there would be an official webpage with more information, but finally it wasn't created and even the myspace of Heathen Pride was erased with no more news.
There were lots of rumours running since the first time I've heard about this show. And most of them quite certain about the celebration of such a show here in the north of Spain:
First, it was too ambitious: 10.000 tickets - Camping- 60 bands of first and second division - Several shows like battles' recreation, dance and fire, bagpipers' street show...
When we are actually no more than 40 or 50 people in folk metal band concerts like the last of Skyclad or Negura Bunget.. I cannot imagine where to find 10.000 people. Such festival is NOT POSSIBLE IN SPAIN (less even here in Galicia) because we have zero metal tradition and less than zero pagan metal tradition in music. We just can see the poor level of festivals we have and they are always bringing bands who had their top in the 80's or new power metal ones.
Second, the way of financing the event wasn't very clear since the beginning, and I have even read that the head of this festival wanted to pay the bands once they had played and they finished with the profits. Amazing.
Third, we have had several problems in this "democratic country" called Spain, thanks to stupid antifascist fanatics, who seem are looking to any suspicious event for a prove of fascism to tear down and boycott. Our culture and tradition in the last years in this country maybe doesnt help to make that number of radical left wing airheads to be less. It happened with the boycott and threats to Ancient Rites last year in all the tour around Spain.. tried in Vigo with Marduk and sure they would go against a pagan festival.
I have to say the idea was great, but thought for a while... it's impossible it could be celebrated in here. It's said the man (someone with the nick Düir), is a scatterbrained guy of 20 years old, didn't think too much about the idea and consequences of such a thing, besides he tried to extend and let to know an idea that wasnt developed at all telling he had hired already many groups and the event would be real. It's quite obvious he should talk less and calculate everything before spreading unknown news.
I was happy meanwhile reading about Heathen Pride, but after talking with some friends and thinking a bit.. we all knew it was a cloud but still kept a small hope.
Right now it's official:
Heathen Pride Open Air 2009 is a fraud.

Surprises 2008: F5 - The Reckoning
I will start my tour around the albums which surprised me in the past year 2008 with F5.
F5 is a US band formed in 2003 of heavy-thrash metal and in the line-up we can find 2 ex-megadeth members like the bassist David Ellefson and the drummer Jimmy DeGrasso.
Their first album, "A drug for all seasons" was unknown for me, so I knew about this band with "The Reckoning". And it is a quite good one, I dont use to listen good heavy metal albums lastly and it was refreshing.
Members:
Dale Steele-Vocals
Steve Conley-Guitars
John Davis-Guitars
Jimmy DeGrasso-Drums
David Ellefson-Bass

Albor Bizarro
Fai cousa de un par de meses decidín cambiar o blog de cine que tiña e empezar a traducilo, non a gallego, senón a castellano. Pareceume que a retranca se perde moito ó falar injlés, e levábame o doble de tempo, así que me dispuxen a traducir e introducir más humor nas críticas. As pelis son as mesmas que hasta ahora, e seguirán publicándose casi diariamente hasta chegar ás xa trinta e pico que levaba (teño os posts listos e publicaranse diariamente eles soliños). Pouco a pouco ireino mellorando tamén :P ainda que a forma de comentar xa está definida e será a mesma para todas as pelis.
