About the Scene
Germany’s metal scene is one of the most influential in the world. From the pastoral fields of Wacken, where over 85,000 metalheads gather each August, to the urban clubs of Hamburg and Berlin, Germany has shaped the global sound of heavy music.
The country gave birth to iconic bands like Rammstein, Accept, and Kreator, and its festivals like Wacken Open Air, Rock am Ring, and Full Metal have become annual pilgrimages for fans worldwide.
