MARS is a pagan folk brotherhood from southwest Germany. It was founded in 2011 by Marcus S. and soon joined by Oliver F.

The music of MARS consists of primarily acoustic instruments like guitar, various percussion, flutes, field recordings and human voices. The idea is to evoke a primordial spirituality that is increasingly lost in our post-modern, materialistic society.

The lyrics of MARS draw inspiration from ancient European mythology and spirituality and are a poetical expression of the universal cyclic law.

MARS express their pagan sensibilities via music, artwork and performance. Live performances are thus considered to be rituals to awaken primordial energies and a possible return to archaic pathways. MARS does not support any organised religions and cults because ultimately – ‘every man and every woman is a star’.

MARS support ecological consciousness in the choice of food, clothing and general lifestyle. We prefer natural material to artificial, and traditional handmade confection to industrial production. We also support domestic production instead of outsourcing.

The visual artwork of MARS’ releases is done by like-minded artists who support our vision of a re-spiritualization of the world and broaden the given spectrum.

MARS is born out of the Northern European consciousness because the connection to the own ancestral roots and heritage is always the strongest. This does not mean exclusion but an offer to share and interact with other international pagan individuals. Therefore we use the internationally known English language to communicate.

Information:

Folk, classical, balladeer and medieval linked with experimental, electronic sounds! Hekate is hybrid music: the crossover of historical and modern style elements to a multi-faceted music style!

The band was founded in 1992 and since that time it has produced seven albums. The involvement with old myths, legends and fairy tales is the typical, the own Style of Hekate and reveals the rooting and cultural background of the band.
Besides, archaically seeming rhythms, trance-like and ritual elements underline the spiritual character of the music and the intention to take up the concealed wishes, longings and dreams of the listeners.

The most intensive way to understand the band’s concept is the experience of a live gig. The music lives on a rich instrument choice, the alternate singing of Axel Menz and Susanne Grosche and the common understanding and harmonious teamwork of five musicians.

In the end, the name Hekate, the goddess of the underworld, represents the intention of the musicians: to move mystic, secrets, myths,… in powerful manner.

On ”Die Kulturnacht”, Parzival have even recorded with 37 classical musicians from Prague delivering strings, brass and woodwinds for this recording. Furthermore a 7 piece danish/russian female choir is also present on several of the tracks.

One of my personal highlights of this festival. Combine Neofolk with New Model Army you are almost there.
While Angels Watch had to cancel heir appearance ad Runes and Men 2013 so Naevus jumped in.
Their intention putting some rock'n roll into this festival went good. Evi Vine told me listen to them they are amazing (thank you!!)
On final track they played "Feel" together with Matt Howden which increased the intense of the song well worth compared to the album version, the audience was blown away - Lesson well done!

Matt Howden! :)


Information:

Matt Howden was the hard-worker on this Festival, he did some guest appearances during Naevus and Sol Invictus too. On his Sieben gig he performed some new songs from Each Divine Spark, his new album released on 2nd February 2014, and a cool performance of an old Nick Cave song "Brother My Cup Is Empty" where he turned the violin to an E-Guitar.

For those who listen first to "Sieben" just a explanation to understand the recording or what happened on stage:
Every note and sound and also percussive sounds and also the drumming - he made all the
sounds using (or abusing ;-) ) his violin on the concert, looping + building them up in a foot pedal operated sampler. EVERYTHING IS LIVE!

Information:

Sol Invictus projects the dark obsessions and humour of its founder Tony Wakeford.
Tony's career began in the punk group Crisis, before progressing through Death In June to the formation of Sol in 1987.
Tony has also worked with other artists including Current 93 and recorded with Andrew Liles and Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound and the ambient musician and artist Tor Lundvall.
As well as these collaborations he has also recorded several albums under his own name, the most recent being "Not All Of Me Will Die" released by the Israeli Eastern Front label.
Tony's other more recent projects include the neoclassical Orchestra Noir, and The Triple Tree.
Tony's pessimistic vision of humanity and inhumanity is a very singular one, and he has maintained it by remaining the only permanent member of Sol, bringing in combinations of other musicians as required for each album or performance.
