Whilst other nations concern themselves with sports events the First Empire is honouring a tradition which, to many, has been considered the national pastime of Rokkenjima: metal. Rokkenjiman bands which are confirmed to perform at the National Auditorium in Pyrettania are as follows:

The Agonist
Black Label Society
Ghost
Gojira
Kreator

Foreign bands have been instructed to contact the office of the Lord High Steward for confirmation of their set list (limited to 15 minutes each) to perform in Pyrettania on the 20th of January, 2014, in Pyrettania. The Imperial Cultural Ministry will award individual bands based on their performances and ability to command the stage upon the conclusion of the Rokkenjiman Metal Festival. The award categories are as follows:

Best Stage Command
Best Performance
Best New Band
Best Established Band
Best Performance as declared by the Empress

Each foreign nation is welcome to send four of their finest bands to Pyrettania for the Festival. Submissions will be accepted from the 9th of January to the 15th of January, opening as of this moment.

Empress Beatrice looks forward to an exchange of music and culture and hopes that the Festival will prove to be a device to bridge cultures and promote peace and understanding in the broader world.

Hello my name is Mayred Keenen and I run the Thematan Metal Association. We are thrilled that Themata isn't the only country with metal at their top charts. We are looking foward to it. Here is a list of bands along with set list:

Rage Against the Enemy(OOC: Real name is Rage Against the Machine, more info in Thematan News.)
-Killing In The Name Of
-Guerilla Radio
-Bulls on Parade

Dead Letter Circus:
-Lodestar
-Dissconnect & Apply
-The Mile
-I Am

Mastodon:(new Thematan Band)
-Blood and Thunder
-Oblivion

Meshuggah:
-Bleed
-I Am Colossus
-Demiurge

These bands are in the top 10 at Themata's music charts, now we were confused whether all bands together are just 15 min or each band had 15 min. If it was only all bands tigether then choose which songs or we'll send you a revised list. Happy Metal Festival.

TO The Lord High Steward of Rokkenjima

Rokkenjima is by no means unique in having a strong tradition of metal. Chernobereg has also had a very strong tradition, and although there aren't as many chart successes, there is still much metal music floating at the lower end of the top.

I've had requests and playlists from a number of leading Chernobereg metal bands. I have attached here lists from four of them.

Korpiklaani:
Vodka
Tequila
Rauta
Ievan Polkka

Nightwish:
Amaranth
Nemo
Crownless
Sacrament of Wilderness

Aria:
Torero
This is Fate
Life for Free
Goodbye Norfolk

At Vance:
Princess of Ice
Salvation Day
Angel of the Dark


As you can see, we have a long list. Good luck with the festival - I hear that young Perillinen Usko (i.e. the Emperor's heir) is planning on attending.

Cheers,
Mikhail Sholokov,

OOC: We'll extend band performances to 30 minutes each band. Five bands for each nation still! Once this has been confirmed for all interested I'll post another IC post. ^_^

OOC: Further submissions are welcome and encouraged! I'll be making my IC post by mid-week as I'll be somewhat busy for the first part of this week. Thankies for your interest, patience and understanding! I'm liking where this is going already! ^_^

Also if anyone has suggestions for more award categories feel free to list them here. I just wanted to get something basic to go from set up. Thankies!
