January 23rd-25th has just been mind blowing!!!
God really wasn't kidding when He said that He is Almighty!!
"To Conquer The Cold North" was the slogan for this years winter edition; ...and we really did!
An amazing fellowship amongst the 250 people kept the cold outside. Bands from 6 different countries and participants from 9 countries where gathered in the woods at a little beach village in Denmark!
This years bands:
Sacrificium (Death metal, Germany)
Admonish (Black metal, Sweden)
Morgenroede (Black metal, Norway)
Conduit (Melodic hardcore, England)
Eleos (Metalcore/rock, Norway)
Solace The Day (Southern metal, Denmark)
Amplified (Melodic death, Denmark)
Magtesløs (Metalcore, Denmark)
Servants Of The Immortal (Deathcore, DK)
Amorém (Actioncore, Denmark)
Exuviae (Death metal, Denmark)
Forgiving Acolyte (Death, Denmark)
Selah (Metalcore/rock, Denmark)
Fallen Walls (Metal, Germany)
+ Sanctuary Worship Band (USA)
+ late night acoustic gigs
I know that we metalheads are looking different and I know that we are behaving weird in the eyes of many. We even have a VERY WEIRD way of dancing when we get excited about live music, heheh.
But when that is said, I also want to mention (once again) that this christian metal crowd in Denmark is probably the most loving crowd I've ever met! We want to care for each other like Christ cares for us! During the whole weekend there was a calm and gentle spirit; people were enjoying the bands, the fellowship, the teaching, the worship and the presence of God.
(Picture below: Pastor Bob, I, Olafur (the local pastor from the Danish folk church) and Jim LaVerde at the festivals church service on Sunday.)
And God really worked in mighty ways this weekend!! Quite a few gave their life to Christ and a whole lot got encouraged to follow God even more dearly! WOW!! Nothing can compare to that!!
So I must say: GLDFest has been a major success once more, and it's a big honer to be a part of this!
GLORY TO GOD! ! !
