MetalGate Czech Death Fest 2018

An integral part of spending evenings outdoors (by a lake no less) is the setting up of campfires and subsequent barbecuing of (at least around here) wursts. And since our festival takes place outdoors, and by a lake no less, we too have a campfire in store since the 2016 installment.

And to make sure you achieve the proper outcome, we prepared back in 2016 a short how-to-do video regarding this topic, that is worth recalling:

The fireplace will be located on the main festival ground and will be set alight always after the shows are done for the day, i.e. at approx. 1:00 during the night from Thursday to Friday, and at approx. 00:30 during the nights from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday.

Wursts and all other equipment to grill them shall be available in the catering tent.


You surely know a shooting gallery. In this one, you do not shoot, but throw darts instead. There are many prizes you can win, depending on what you hit. But, to make it more challenging, the target spins, and fast

Aim well!

You will find the shooting gallery next to the festival bar on the main grounds, and shall be opened between 14:00 and 20:00 on Friday and Saturday.


A collective coordination game, very popular in German speaking countries (so we heard). It requires at least two players, who then take turns in hammering down nails, but with the narrower side of the hammer to make it a bit difficult. Who finishes last, buys him/herself and all other players a round.

And so it goes on and on, till there is a will to play or anyone with sufficient motor skills.

And in case you missed this classic or need a refresher, a short how-to-do video is once again here to help:

Try it out from Friday 14:00 onwards throughout the whole festival next to the bar on the main grounds. To pick up the hammer and nails, ask at the bar (and mind your fingers).


Ladies and gentlemen, behold the third return of the wonder of science and technology - the Gorgan Brothers Amazing Cinematograf!

Although we do not usually announce in advance what shall be screened and leave it as a sort of on site surprise, this time we got our hands on a truly spectacular piece that we simply cannot keep a secret. This year, get ready for the action-packed professionally amateur blockbuster "Konec blanických rytířů v Čechách a na Moravě", which was made last year by Martin Ferko, and which presents finally the awakening of one Czech national myth - the knights of Blaník.

First installment of this epic shall be screened during the night from Thursday to Friday at 1:00 on the main stage. The second installment during the night from Friday to Saturday at 1:00, same place.
