The Christian “Elements of Rock” weekend was first held in 2004. This year it will have rockers from Sweden, Netherlands and the UK.

A small Christian metal and hard rock music festival started almost 20 years ago in Switzerland has managed to survive the pandemic.
“We’ve been in a holding pattern for four years, now it’s getting closer”, festival director Mike Hauser told Swiss news website Livenet.ch. “It’s a surreal feeling, I don’t think I realise it until it's on”. He leads a team called Unblack.

The festival started in 2004 and brings together around 450 people each year during a spring weekend. A diverse international line-up of “metal bands with a positive connection to Christian faith” perform.

Twelve bands playing styles such as Melodic Metal, Power Metal, Hard Rock and Post-hardcore have confirmed they will be on stage. Coming from Switzerland, Sweden, Netherlands, Germany and the US, they include names such as Crystal Ball, Wytch Hazel, Majestica and Millenial Reign.
