Today we're confirming three new bands, making the billing almost complete. Three more bands will be confirmed till the end of 2008.
MĹNEGARM (SWE)
MĹNEGARM from Sweden have become more than just well known guests of the festival over the last years. This very likeable Viking Metal combo has also become one of the most famous bands of the szene since their formation in 1995. Those of you who've already watched a gig of them can surely remember Janne, who's playing the violin in his very own way and the rest of the band, too. Erik, Pierre, Markus, Jonas and Jane We're looking foward to having you here!
IRRBLOSS (SWE)
They will get support by their fellow countrymen IRRBLOSS. The name of the band means fen fire. Their music is a nice mixture of Viking, Black and Folk Metal, but unfurtunately this very ambitious, young band is an unknown quantity out of Sweden. We hope, that we can change this fact and consequently they'll be on stage in April and hopefully some nice people standing in front of the stage will appreciate them. After the release of their 2007 Demo, there will be a knew album called Bloodline on 23rd of January.
ANDRAS (GER)
The third band for today is from the Oar Montains and called ANDRAS. Having started with traditional Black Metal, they got influenced by pagan themes, although they don't want to be put into a certain category. Anyway the result of all that is very good. In 2008 they finally got a new label, Einheit Produktionen, and they will do their first ever gig at Ragnarök Festival in 2009.
