Viking metal fest sounds like a kick in the Asgard

Heed our command, insignificant humans: Attend Pagan Fest USA or we lords of Asgard shall smite thee with our mighty gavel, Mjolnir! The thundering Norse beasts we have selected to pummel your puny Midgard include Finnish “Viking metal” bands Ensiferum and Turisas, Switzerland’s Eluveitie, Germany’s Suidakra, and the terrifying Tyr of the Faroe Islands. Worthy troubadours and true, though all seem to have Linda Blair of The Exorcist lodged in their throats. Cough. Cough.
