Folks, I’m honestly too old for this shit… Or maybe not just yet? After making an early exit from the Tanzbrunnen yesterday evening, I actually feel way more with it today. Deciding to head home a bit earlier and snag an extra hour or two of sleep was definitely the right move.

Echoes of Rebellion 2025 with Ist Ist, Isaac Howlett, Sydney Valette, Beyond Border and The Brute

Folks, I’m too old for this shit! Three days, two festivals, over 15 bands on the credit side, 43 hours on my feet and far too little sleep. Next year… well, you know how it goes. Of course I’ll be doing it all over again. If the Echoes of Rebellion crew can step back into the ring, then so can I.

In a world where many festivals feel increasingly commercial and overcrowded, Castle Party continues to be a unique cultural phenomenon - part ritual, part reunion, and part beautifully gothic escape. Set against the cinematic backdrop of Bolkow Castle and the adjacent park, the 2025 edition once again drew dark souls from all over Europe and beyond.
