Of The Wand & The Moon

2023-02-22

It is with undisguised pleasure that we resent you another band in our line-up.

Of The Wand & The Moon started as a soloproject by Kim Larsen in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1998 when he was still a member and composer in doom-metal band Saturnus. The debut album "Nighttime Nightrhymes" was released in 1999 and was a dark folk/neo-folk album that received quite some attention in both neofolk, goth and metal scenes. With the second album "Emptiness Emptiness Emptiness" (2001), the sound of Of The Wand & The Moon had developed much, and is considered a neo-folk/dark folk classic these days. A lot of touring followed all over Europe, as Larsen had assembled several live-members for his touring band.

The Beauty Of Gemina will play at Castle Party 2023!

2023-02-20

Today we are pleased to present you another band that will play at Castle Party 2023 - The Beauty Of Gemina.

Michael Sele writes dreamy-dark lyrics and music that can take you to lofty heights as well as to abysmal depths. The listener is always accompanied by his velvety and almost comforting voice, which also leads through the last two studio albums "Flying With The Owl" and "Skeleton Dreams". Albums full of thoughtfulness and infinite beauty.
The songs are full of vital energy and intensity, sometimes powerful, sometimes spherical, sometimes almost virginal, reduced to the absolute minimum, but always powerful and always of poetic depth.

Actors will play at Castle Party 2023

2023-02-18

There's no need to wait - we're announcing another star of this year's Castle Party edition!

The Jason Corbett-led outfit ACTORS are standing on the shoulders of titans with their brand of the style, and could almost be referred to as « post-post-punk ». In a period where we narrowcast rather than broadcast so fans and new music-seekers can firmly plant themselves in a niche, Corbett takes swings at creating sounds and production techniques that one would not usually find in a starter package of cliché plugins and samples. Backed by a stoic yet playful backing band, the frontman shows an enthusiasm while performing and recording that often isn’t seen or heard in his preferred genre.

Dawn of Ashes joins the lineup!

2023-02-16

Today we're going to talk about the beginning of the end, because that's the an allegorical metaphor meaning of Dawn of Ashes, an American melodic black metal band that will play at our festival this year!
They formed in 2001 in Los Angeles and have been recording EBM-style music for most of their musical career.
In 2008, the majority of the line-up was changed and the band abandoned their electronic roots by signing to Metal Blade Records thus abruptly changing their style.
The themes of their songs are aggression and evil, including hatred of the human race, torture, death, genocide and annihilation.
