Jillian LaDage

Leading on a breathtaking voyage around the globe, Jillian LaDage is the fresh voice of Celtic & World music. Fans describe her as "the new Loreena McKennitt" and her songs as a "new wave of Celtic Mythology."

Her soaring ethereal & mystical voice takes you on a journey through the pages of centuries long gone to where mystery and legend awaits.

FeHu PaganFolk

An italian Pagan Folk Band born in the winter of 2015, FeHu mixes pagan/nordic and medieval melodies toghether with more styles.

There was a time when rivers of cement flooded the earth and the lights of the cities prevented the view of the stars

So it was that then five brave guys decided to get together and fight against it

They took a letter of an ancient character and made it their own, without imagining the great power it would give it.

With music that recalled the purity of the ancient, singing songs of great warrior cultures now defunct, fought to sounds of ballads and songs, calling freedom, fighting with vigor against the sick modernity

Dziwoludy

Dziwoludy - a group of people connected by musical passion and ... the Middle Ages. They detached their guitars, amplifiers, and multi-effects, and took hold of simple wooden instruments. They wore ragged souvenirs and now they wander from castles and castles to the camp. They play at feasts and tournaments praising the times of ancient Slavs. And to dance they will choose a lively note. It is not easy to encounter such Dziwoludy - you have to go for them to the Middle Ages.

The idea dawned in the head of a certain Szuwar from Wrocław, when around 2014, he wandered around tournaments and rallies with a group of early medieval performers. Several musicians, brave enough to give up their modern habits, answered his call. And so the metal guitarist switched to the 3 string panduri, his bandmate got the saz, the jazz bassist critically looked at the wooden flute, the rock drummer learned that he was to play the baraban, the classical violinist uncertainly took kemenche bow, and the experienced singer was sent back to the first white singing lessons. Oh, it was not easy. Especially, if you mention that in the selection of repertoires they still had to work tediously through historical sources and the depths of the Internet. The whole undertaking rightly deserves the name "Dziwoludy". Now in their Middle Ages, they found their own sound, which they would like to share.

The Midnight

Midnight were formed in 2003, inspired by the magical sound of Blackmore's Night. The choice to be called "Midnight" is not accidental: "midnight" is a metaphor not only of a past time, but also a "mysterious elsewhere" the magic hour of the night for excellence, where fairies and elves dance in the woods, the wizards prepare their spells and the witches gather under a large walnut tree. "Minstrels" thus, offering melodies inspired by celtic, medieval and renaissance sweet ballads but also lively rhythms drawn from popular culture and folk music. All made more attractive from setting and costumes inspired by fantasy. The show intends to make reliving, through musical notes, scenery and costumes, the charm and enchantment of the "fantasy literature" a kind of narration between epic and fantastic, magical and mysterious, where narrated events are set in a time and a world imaginary in the "middle land" the linking ring between a permanent medieval, an improbable future and an alternative universe populated by magical creatures.

"The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. 'tis almost fairy time."

(from "A Midsummer Night's Dream” by William Shakespeare).

Obscurus Orbis

Year 2007, august 8th, is bands original date of foundation. After many practice sessions and changes in bands formation, we finally formed in what you can see today.

Band members met travelling to various medieval themed events. We all desired to reconstruct a medieval atmosphere that comes with medieval music and sound of musical instruments of that time, that allows the listener to feel the full nature of this shadowy, medieval world and leads the audience with musicians, back in time, on the days when men were brave knights, women – beautiful princess and the earth was still flat.

Band uses the loudest bagpipes, rauschpfeifs, string instruments and various drums. Obscurus Orbis is also the only group in Latvia, which uses hurdy-gurdy. We have performed at the Hanseatic Day’s in Pärnu and Kaunas (Estonia and Lithuania), Festival-mediaval (Germany), medieval festivals in Norway and many other events in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland and Romania.

Heather Wasteland

HEATHER WASTELAND (Χερσόνησος, 3-bass Heretical Folk Art created by Cimmerian metalheads in neo-medieval metal way) was founded in the spring of 2001.

A distinctive feature of the group was the presence of two bass players (Sergey Pavlov and Alexander Vetrogon) and a drummer (Anatoliy Polovnikov) in the band’s line-up, and an intended refuse to use guitars.

HEATHER WASTELAND existed until the spring of 2002, having managed to play only two concerts. Their debut 12-minute performance created a furor owing to the music itself and the unrestrained energy at the stage that moved the bored crowd. The group became a discovery of the festival, and a concert photo of the raging front man was published in a very conservative newspaper. So, the group remained memorable long after the show for a long time.

In October of 2014, the band was reunited with the original line-up, but also recruited the third bass player (Andrey Anikushin).

HEATHER WASTELAND’s music is marked by the uncommon approach to folk metal, and interest in obscure or “forbidden” topics of pre-christian and medieval periods of European history, often in the esoteric context.

In 2015 HEATHER WASTELAND recorded 4 tracks for their debut EP “Under The Red Wolfish Moon” to be self-released in digipak CD format in December, 2016.

Mix by Andrey Ignatenkov, a sound engineer with high level of the concert experience owing to work with Joe Lynn Turner, Goran Bregović, Arkona, Bonfire, De-Phazz and many more at the concerts in the Crimea. Mastering by Iurii Kuz’kin, who is well-known to the fans of Slavonic pagan metal owing to his work with Chur, Oprich, and “Triunity” project.

Cover art by Njard, who is well-known for his cooperation with Ghost (Sweden), Grand Belial's Key (USA), Horna (Finland), Absurd (Germany), Sacrificia Mortuorum (France) and many more.

All EP tracks are already included in several CD- and digital compilations. The first official video “Tre Sverd” turned in a good score of views at Youtube and several social medias, and exceeded 10 thousand views in total over three months. The video is also included in a DVD-compilation of Terroraiser Magazine (Ukraine).

In the spring of 2016 Heather Wasteland recorded a neo-medieval cover version of the song “Personal Energy” for the official international tribute CD of Pestilence (the Netherlands, jazz/death metal). A chorus of growling trolls was recorded by Ind (Grenouer, Tartharia).

Irregang

Irregang, in places also the Spielleut Irregang, is a native of Thuringia band from the field of medieval music.

The beginnings of the current four-member band date back to 1999, when band members Felix and Lehnchen met for a theatrical performance. Together with the later band member Dr. Met. Falcinellus they positioned themselves in the genre of medieval rock. In their self-perception, the ensemble members see themselves in the development phase of an independent musical style, which, although resorting to medieval melody and text fragments, but with the arrangement and elements of folk and rock closer to today's listening habits.

The debut album "In the intoxication of the pipes" appeared in the year 2005. In July 2010 followed her second album called "Golias", which was chosen in September of the same year to the CD of the month of the medieval music Internet portal minnesang.com. In October 2010, the music magazine Sonic Seducer reported on the band and also published a review of the new CD. Furthermore, Irregang are represented both on the medieval-facetted sampler of Zillo 2008 [3] and 2010 and also on the "Cold Hands Seduction" Vol.111 is with "Clauso Chronos" one of their songs.

Irregang also perform live on medieval markets and relevant music festivals both in Germany - such as the Falkensteiner Minneturnier at Burg Falkenstein - and in Denmark or France. In the movie "The Beloved Sisters" (2014), the musicians portrayed contemporary musicians in a dance scene under a lime tree and composed the piece "Studentdreider" for them. With the release of the third album "Faulenzia" in August 2017, Maledict left the band, which has since appeared as a trio. The play "Spielmann" was released in 2018 on the sampler Verbünder V, which was also reported in the magazine Karfunkel in the May 2018 issue.

Gwendolyn Snowdon

Gwendolyn Snowdon launched her solo career with release of first album, Three Strand Braid. Three Strand Braid was inspired by artist’s blended heritage of Dutch, English and Irish, and all three languages are interwoven on the album in traditional folk style. Gwendolyn Snowdon, is perhaps best known as lead singer for Celtic Folk band, Finvarra. She is a full time musician, and will continue to perform with Finvarra, but her passion for creating and performing her own music has taken flight.Three Strand Braid was well-received during her 2016 mini-tour, on many festival stages in the Netherlands and Belgium; and she made the long list for Netherlands Fantasy Awards for Best Live Act-2016.

Snowdon began her musical training at age of ten with guitar lessons; vocal lessons soon followed. Inspired by Tori Amos and Kate Bush in her early years, and impassioned by the energy of the fantasy folk festival scene, by the time she was a teenager the artist was performing on stage with the Dutch Lemmings. They say, ‘you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl’ and this certainly holds true for Gwendolyn who was raised by horse enthusiasts and spent most of her youth in the stables. Her passion for animals and the environment have played an important role in her life and is apparent in her music videos. As an active environmentalist the artist strives to make a difference in the world, both on stage and off.
