Maidenpodden: Metal Pilgrim, Mandrake Project & Wacken Open Air

In this very special all english episode featuring Jonatan from Maiden AZ we return to Ukraine. It’s been 21 months since we first talked to our blood brother Vlad, or Metal Pilgrim in Kyiv and quite a lot has happened in those long and bloody months. We learn how the metal scene in the capital is coming back to life, we learn about the spectacular adventure Vlad pulled off in order to raise funds at Wacken Open Air and why the Metal God himself plays a pivotal part in all this. We speculate about the Future/Past Tour, the upcoming Mandrake Project by Bruce and about Maidens future plans. An action packed power hour!   Please support our Ukrainian blood brothers and sisters FREEDOM by pitching in to any organization that helps Ukraine directly.  We recommend at least these two options for donations in a smart way:    Steel Wings Foundation: Operated and run without middlemen by Metal Pilgrim himself: https://steelwings.net/en/ Blågula Bilen, a Swedish non-gov organization delivering vehicles and supplies to Ukraine without middlemen: https://www.blagulabilen.se/en/donate/
