The promising punk rock band Johnny & The Burnouts will also perform on “Curonian Metal Day”; Latgalian singing folk metal group “Green Novice”, for whom this will be the first concert in Kurzeme; Latvia’s response to the group “Motohead” – “Rūsa”, for which this will be the first concert after a two-year break.
“Skyforger” vocalist Pēteris Kvetkovskis says: “So it has happened that for various reasons we have not had time to be on the side of Kurzeme in the last three years, so we are happy to return with new strength, and in a city we have never been to. times Pavilosta was one of the Curonian Viking ports, from which they went on their voyages to Denmark and other present – day Scandinavian countries. There is even an ancient rock inscription in Denmark: “Oh god, protect us from the Curonians!” It is quite possible that our ancestors lived and fought in Pāvilosta many thousands of years ago. That is why this concert is also given such a significant name – “Curonian Metal Day”. Of course, the significant song “Curonian” from our first album “Battle at the Sun” will also be played. There have not been many concerts during these times, so we will be happy to see all the rock and metal fans in large numbers in Pāvilosta “.
Skyforger bassist Edgars Grabovskis adds: “Yes, this will be only the third concert in Latvia this year. On August 14, we participated in the inter-genre festival” Laiva “together with the cello group” Dagamba “, “Butter” in Valmiermuiža, where we were joined on stage by the French Belgian bagpiper Jeffrey Del’Arija. eight new songs are ready, but we are still continuing our creative search to create a full – length album “.
