I've said time and time again that I love Tuska Festival in Helsinki. I mean, really love Tuska Festival. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this camping bullshit, there's certainly something attractive about a metal fest in the middle of such a cultural hotspot as Helsinki.

Audrey DUJARDIN from ShutterBLAST has been following the Paganfest for several days now and shot some videos on the stop in Vienna, Austria, then quickly mounted everything together on her computer for your viewing pleasure.

Video reviewed and unanimously approved by the band.
