Watch: Festival security guard crowd-surfs to ‘dwarven’ power metal
Wind Rose festival clip might be the best thing you see today
Sometimes, security make headlines for all the wrong reasons, like when Tom Morello was recently tackled from the stage at his own Rage Against the Machine gig.
We couldn’t enjoy the gigs and festivals we do without them though, and sometimes they get right into the swing of things.
That was certainly the case with one gentleman of the high-vis vest at the Vagos Metal Fest in Portugal.
He can be seen joyously crowd-surfing, devil’s horns outflung, as Italian power metal band Wind Rose play their set.

The band, who style themselves as ‘dwarven metallers’, posted the video with the title, ‘When the security needs the security’.
“Our show at Vagos Metal Fest was so good the security crowd surfed,” they added.
The band also posted a ‘comparison vid’ humorously highlighting the differences between a trap show and a metal fest.

Wind Rose released their fifth album ‘Warfront’ in June. They are known for playing Tolkien-inspired power metal but also went viral with a version of ‘Diggy Diggy Hole’ – a song that originated from a Yogscast Minecraft video.
