It’s oh so quiet, it’s oh so hot…! This year’s edition was one of heat, historical events and many records!

A look at what grim, dark and frostbitten looks like… 2 days of underground and obscure extreme metal at Steelfest Open Air in pictures.

Two days of the best underground artists the metal scene has to offer at the Finnish city that brought forth a ton of black metal bands, sit back and let the darkness come over you!

Fear Those Who Fear Him is Vallenfyre’s third full-length release and it’s 38 minutes of raw, old school death metal mixed with a massive doom sound.

The third edition of Dynamo Metalfest will bring a combination of thrash and progressive metal to Eindhoven for all of you to rock out to in a hopefully blistering sun!

Someone is leaving the great line-up, but we’re getting a whole bunch of local talents added besides hardcore legends as a replacement!

The first edition of a festival that is aiming for the stars! With a lot of good but also a lot of bad happening…

With “Hurricanes and Halos” Avatarium delivered an third excellent album. The combination of the beautiful bluesy vocals of Jennie-An Smith and the rough and heavy prog/doom guitars keeps on working very well.

Slayer’s 666 Red Ale is a well-crafted warm beer that is surprisingly satisfying for the metal and/or beer lover.

This year’s Tuska will be one to remember since they’re gearing up to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a bang! Go see what is happening…
