In the depths of former Eastern Germany lies a place called Demmin. While a cursory internet search might paint it as just another small German town, it possesses unique features beyond its geography, being surrounded by rivers and located in one of the country’s most tourist-friendly states. Since 2022, Demmin has become home to a small festival named Ghosts of Dinmin, which prioritizes death and black metal. While this genre choice isn’t uncommon in Germany, the festival’s surroundings certainly are. Nestled in the heart of a natural reserve, the Voelschow Berg venue emerges after a few hundred meters of walking through the woods. This picturesque setting adds a distinctive atmosphere to the entire festival experience. As the sun began to set, the crew lit a campfire, enhancing the landscape’s aesthetics. This year’s Ghosts of Dinmin took place on September 1st and 2nd, 2023. Check out our photo gallery of OCTOBER TIDE and THULCANDRA‘s shows at Ghosts of Dinmin here…
