Finish extreme fantasy metal outfit Kivimetsän Druidi just confirmed to participate in Europe’s hailed Folk and Pagan tour, the Paganfest 2011. Alongside with Korpiklaani, Unleashed, Moonsorrow, Varg and Arafel the KIVIs will search, destroy and conquer every metal fan’s brave heart with their unique mix combining thrashy riffs with folky melodies and black/symphonic metal flavors.
Kivimetsän Druidi’s horde of warriors with their fairy front lady Leeni-Maria are thrilled and excited about joining Paganfest 2011 bandwagon with these awesome bands. “As we are already familiar with touring with our jolly old friends Korpiklaani, we know there will be some serious partying and head banging going on”, confesses Leeni-Maria. On the other hand, Joni tells that those Finnish pagans Moonsorrow were the one main reason why he originally formed Kivimetsän Druidi with his younger brother Antti in the first place.
The Paganfest tour returns – stronger than ever. Once again, some of the biggest, most important, and best known bands have gathered for a true alliance of Pagan metal. Six fantastic bands, all from the same kind of musical genre, but every one being unique and soundwise outstanding. Catch this killer package on the Paganfest tour 2011.
