*Final Line-up Announced for HEATHEN CRUSADE III – Tickets On-Sale Now!*
If you thought Paganfest was the ultimate in ale-guzzling, hurdy
gurdy-playing, folk metal fun, wait until you meet its bigger, better, more
awesomely-epic counterpart…the best pagan metal festival this side of
Scandinavia… the almighty *HEATHEN CRUSADE!* <http://www.heathencrusade.com>
In previous years, the dedicated individuals behind this two-day
folk/pagan/black/doom/etc festival have brought such genre giants as
*PRIMORDIAL, MOONSORROW, THYRFING, SKYFORGER, VREID, MANEGARM,* and *BAL-SAGOTH* to American soil, and with this year's edition, are aiming to outdo themselves once again. A truly American festival with a distinctly European twist, the merry men behind the madness try – and succeed – to create an inclusive environment where fans of these small but fiercely-beloved subgenres can gather to watch, headbang, and drink with their favorite bands. For all the
metalheads who can't afford the journey overseas for the European festival
season, Heathen Crusade brings an eclectic mix of bands from all over the
world right to your doorstep (or at least, to Minnesota). With a stellar
lineup including HC veterans *MOONSORROW *in a headlining spot (their only
U.S. date!), this Crusade promises to be even more triumphant than the last.

*Heathen Crusade III will be taking place at Station 4 in Minneapolis, MN on
November 14th-15th. Tickets are $20 for each day, or $30 for both days.
Sponsorship packages and opportunities are still available, and concertgoers
are encouraged to book a room in the official hotel to keep the party going
all weekend long! Check www.heathencrusade.com for more information.*
