This week’s Guest DJ is Runa Luna, the head manager for Norway’s first Viking open air festival Midgardsblot Metal Festival.
She’ll spin tracks from the bands attending the festival and you’ll probably get to learn a thing or two about Vikings as well.
The festival takes place in Borre August 20th – 22nd.
Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
