In 2005 it was decided to go for a festival featuring mostly Viking and pagan metal with the booking of bands like Månegarm, Menhir, Eisregen and Equilibrium.

Shortly after a TV report was shown on German public television that tried to connect the festival to the national-socialist and fascist scene.
