Chris checks out axe-fighting, fire-breathing and viking football at Lithuania's Kilkim Zaibu festival. With the festival celebrating Pagan warfare and the cult of dark arts, Chris initially struggles to enjoy it and has a bloody nightmare interviewing black metal legends Archgoat.

But his festival friends Dani and Simon are fired up to show him a good time, despite the relentless rain as heavy as the music. From entering the fight circle with real weapons to a ferocious circle pit, Chris headbangs until he becomes a metalhead.
