Rising interest in European history in Heavy Metal scenes.
Inspirational song at the annual Wacken Heavy Metal festival in Germany. Featuring members of the Scottish band Grave Digger and the German bands Blind Guardian and Van Cantos and a Highland pipe band. There is a revival of interest in European history and mythology that is being fueled by several predominately European based Heavy Metal music sub-genres.
