During the MAGIC CIRCLE FESTIVAL 2008, Metal band MANOWAR and Germany´s bestselling author WOLFGANG HOHLBEIN announced a unique collaboration; a modern interpretation of the classical Norse mythology, told by all means of our time: books, music, games and beyond. A captivating fantasy adventure celebrating one of the most iconic characters in mythology, Thor, God of Thunder. Stories full of action and drama, passion and conflict. Multiple activities on the eve of the festival will offer fans the opportunity to learn more about THE ASGARD SAGA - a fantasy project of vast dimensions! "During the creative process, the band and I soon realised the full potential of this enterprise", Wolfgang Hohlbein explains. "It was almost like the characters took over and showed us the way!", he adds. "The Norse mythology is so rich of characters and stories that we decided to create a whole universe.", he explains further. "A couple of fans approached us when they heard about our plans and asked permission to set up an online platform", MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio joins in. "And this is where ideas really started to fly! We decided that the fans should become part of the creative team! On www.asgard-saga.com they cannot only find news about THE ASGARD SAGA, they can also participate with own contributions, from stories to songs. Fans and artists together will create a fantasy adventure like none before! Check it out: www.asgard-saga.com." Part I of THE ASGARD SAGA follows the story of Thor, God of Thunder. Banished from his own world, the magical realm of Asgard, he is thrown into the world of humans: with no memory of his past or the reason of his existence in this place. A fallen hero who gradually learns about his failings. A man on a quest to prevent an armageddon. A tormented soul searching for forgiveness and retribution. The world premiere of THE ASGARD SAGA can only be witnessed at the MAGIC CIRCLE FESTIVAL III on July 18, 2009 at the Loreley Freilichtbühne, St. Goarshausen/Germany Tickets are available at www.magiccirclefestival.com, www.eventim.com, www.nuclearblast.de, www.ticketagenten.de.
