The fest is officially cancelled. Due to low tickets sales and other issues Odin has put the fest to eternal sleep. It was a great run and it has a lot of great bands appear. But with bad news there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Keep that weekend open because something is brewing.

A little unknown fact....Zephaniah was actually on the books for last year but sadly we didn't have the time to make it work. Odin even went to see them live to see how they were live. So we are very happy that they will be playing in 2017. Check out the CD that was released on Divebomb...

Another UK debut at the fest next year. Classic UK band BATTLEAXE will be gracing the mainstage next year. Having seem them perform live before, all I can say is that they will blow everyone away. Pure power and energy. For those who have not heard them yet...check them out below.

Like the full moon, it only appears once in a while. Just like a live show with Werewolf Avalanche. This band DOES NOT RECORD, they are a live band only. You WILL NOT want to miss this very special performance. Let's pray it is not on full moon when they grace the mainstage in 2017.

It is time to bring some power metal to the fest. Noble Beast have been a band many have requested so we are happy to announce they will be headlining the second stage one of the nights. They will bring a great balance to the line up. For those who have not had a chance to hear them...

Every year Ragnarokkr tries to bring back an old Chicago band. We have had War-Cry and Tyrant's Reign re-unite, we had Aftermath,Wrath, Paradoxx, Winterhawk and Ordained Fate. Now we are proud to announce the return of Mortar. I was lucky to see them open for Nuclear Assault and Mordred...

They first played the second year of the fest and now we are pleased to announce the return of BROCAS HELM. Now they will get the chance to play to a packed house. The 2012 year was a smaller crowd so it will be great to see them with the crowd they deserve. This US Cult metal act will be...

Here is the first band for the second stage...from Seattle....SUBSTRATUM. This band will have a cassette on Sword and Chains and a split with Skelator soon. A few members came out to the fest last year and after witnessing it they wanted to play. We are very excited to have them make their...

One of the 2017 headliners will be PRAYING MANTIS. This will also be their debut show in the good ole US of A. This will be one not to miss. They will be playing songs from their debut NWOBHM classic album to tracks from the brand new album "Legacy". I am hoping they pull out the song...

The fest date has been announced. It will now fall on May 19th and 20th. It will still be at Reggies. Band announcements coming soon.

I bet this tour last 5 years.

In all seriousness...list the bands you would be interested in seeing play. Running Wild, Cirith Ungol, and stuff like that won't happen...cost too much. Doom is pretty much out of the question. Bands who tour or have played the fest before are also out of the questions. We will have one or...
