Paganfest

”I HAD A DREAM!”
Samuli tells about the birth of ”Kalmisto”: ”One night I was dreaming that I was watching a music video by Korpiklaani. Jonne was singing there in a clearcut forest. I heard the music, the lyrics and I knew that the song is called ”Kalmisto”. Then I realized that we don’t have a song like this. I woke up and decided to sang the melodies to my phone and wrote the lyrics down.

At the morning I went to Jonne’s place in Miehola and told him about my dream. He was instantly excited about it and we started to build a song based on the nightly recording. It didn’t take long till the basic structure of Kalmisto was ready. It’s funny how the subconscious works even in your dreams. The lesson of the story is that we should sleep more!

We brainstormed with the director Teppo Ristola about my dream and about the lyrics and he got many cool ideas to add to the script. The video is shot nearby Miehola so the music and the video was born almost at the same place.”
- Samuli Mikkonen

Zlin Tonight! Paganfest history in CZ is short. 2008 and 2009 at Masters Of Rock Cafe and no idea why no more shows here.
No need to tell that Paganfest MMXXV will be twice as big, than the "classic" tours here in CZ as well. The great Datart Hall awaits all Paganheads from CZ - to celebrate the glourius victory of the army of pirates, trolls, warriors and other amazing creatures.
Pagan metal is great again, bigger than ever!

Please welcome Dalriada as well they will join the party for Zlin and Budapest!

Paganfest is big, but this hall is really huge - so enough tickets left for last min purchase and at the doors.
