Flight of the Valkyries is the premier US metal festival for metal bands with lead female vocalists. FotV was the FIRST annual festival of it's kind in North America. 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 annual 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. In June of 2008, the Flight of the Valkyries returned to Station 4 for it's 2nd annual installment featuring Unexpect, Shadowside, Benedictum, Dendura, Visideon, Earthen, Something to Fear, and Aria Sharp. The third Flight of the Valkyries festival took place in June of 2009. Once again soaring over Station 4 the finest female fronted metal bands in the US took the stage! The FotV III festival included headliner Bendictum, Luna Mortis, Todesbonden, Hydrogyn, A.D.D., Sirens of Titan, Kaptivating Kate, and Rott. In November of 2010, a new fall edition of Flight of the Valkyries took place in Baltimore, MD at The Ottobar. The east coast regional festival included headliner Black Widow USA, Operatika, River Runs Scarlet, A Sound of Thunder, [geist], Suhgarim, Dying Design, and Cassandra Syndrome. Black Rose Metal Heart Promotions is pleased to announce that the next installment of the Flight Of The Valkyries festival will take place on Saturday, November 19, 2011 at Sonar in Baltimore, Maryland! Bands at this year's FotV 5 festival include headliner Benedictum, co-headliners Echoterra and DesDemon, and supporting acts Brave, Cassandra Syndrome, Flames of Fury and Serpent Witch! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks from the Promoters: Thank you everyone who has supported us in the efforts to make the Flight of the Valkyries festival a reality.
