The History of Flight of the Valkyries
The timing couldn't have been better.

2007 was the year for female-fronted metal in the U.S.

With culminating events like the "Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour," and the ascending amount of female-fronted metal bands both debuting and touring in the US (including Nightwish, After Forever, Within Temptation, Visions of Atlantis, Echoes of Eternity, In This Moment, The Agonist, and many others), the U.S. metal scene was begging for an all female-fronted metal festival.

Word was announced that Doro Pesch (Warlock, Doro) was making her return to the US for her first North American tour in several years. The timing was just perfect.

Nathan "The SwordLord" Block of SwordLord Productions considered himself fortunate enough that the Doro tour came to St. Paul, Minnesota on a Saturday.

The stars had aligned and SwordLord Productions was soon announcing the first ever FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES metal festival - the ONLY US festival dedicated to metal bands with female lead vocalists.

The festival debuted in June of 2007, including additional bands on the roster such as Vainglory, Earthen, The Ottoman Empire, Visideon, Spiritual Decay, and Sirens of Titan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks from the Promoter:
Thank you everyone who has supported SwordLord Productions in the efforts to make this a reality. Thank you to all the bands and their management for joining me in delivering the best female-fronted metal to the fans!

Congratulations Flight of the Valkyries for a fantastic festival. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there, but it was so smokin' hot that I felt that heat all the way to Detroit.

It's been a lot of fun to work with you and let's do it again next year.

Cheers,
