We are live at Warhorns festival in the UK. Warhorns is mostly a Viking, Black, Folk & Melodic Death Metal festival held in the north of England, and it has a great atmosphere and vibe. Plus, where there's metal, there's strength so we managed to interview a few people from different band and talk all things music and weight training.

They traditional elements of symphonic metal with elements of extreme metal and an atmospheric stage performance.
