Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events organized Battle Beast’s first ever show in Nokia, Finland. As support, they brought along Crimson Sun. An enjoyable evening for everyone.
Xavier Baecke took GRIMM to Tommy Johansson. Not only Sabaton’s lead guitarist, but also the founder, vocalist, and guitarist of Majestica, Sweden’s national karaoke champion, Youtuber and just one of the best guitarists in power metal. We talked about his main influences for his guitar play, his hot take on if Sabaton is power metal or not, and a possible little peek at future projects. The dream for any reporter with a warm heart for (power) metal.
