The fifth installment of Paganfest America kicks off this week in Springfield, VA before winding across North America and back over the next few weeks. This year's edition features some of the top names in pagan and folk metal, including co-headliners Korpiklaani (Finland) and Turisas (Finland). Joining them this year will be Chthonic (Taiwan), Varg (Germany) and Winterhymn (USA). Tickets are currently available via the box office at each show location. For more information, check out the Paganfest America page. I've heard that most of these bands are much better live than on record, so it should be a pretty entertaining tour. I'm looking forward to checking out the scene at the Columbus show. I'll have a full report here on The Blog of Doom.
