Spiritbox

The last stop on the European mainland before heading towards the UK: Spiritbox with special guest Invisions, and openers Unprocessed at the Effenaar in Eindhoven, the Netherlands!

Day 2 of Tuhdimmat Tahdit was just as hot. Carnival Academy, Heavy Metal Perse, Antony Parviainen Trio, Turmion Kätilöt, Metalite, Wolfheart, Shereign, Before the Dawn, Brymir, Mokoma, Swallow the Sun and lastly Battle Beast. Master Events gave us a festival that is certainly worth coming back to.

Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events brought one very hot festival to Tampere’s Ratinanniemi. It started with Verikalpa and ended with Beast in Black, but we also can’t forget about all the bands in between: Transworld Identity, Prestige, Ensiferum, Bloodred Hourglass, Dynazty, Lordi, Mors Subita, Dead by April and Diablo.

The second day of Rockfest 2023, the Red Stage by Soundi was the place to be for stellar performances by Von Hertzen Brothers, Escape The Faith, Testament and Stam1na.

Jinjer is on tour through Europe this summer, and we attended their show in Lille, France. Warm up act was the French band Hypno5e!

An evening full of fun, for young and old, with one of Belgium’s best and most popular metal bands of the past 3 decades: Channel Zero; with support from Temptations for the Weak.

The ever popular Swedish metalcore outfit Imminence came to blow us away at a completely sold out On The Rocks in Helsinki, with the help of the energy bomb that is Blood Command to set things off!

Album Reviews

What are you going to leave behind? A tin line between love and fear.

Does your week start on Monday or Sunday? Know what it’s like to experience that the other way around? Listen to All That Remains’ new album and you might experience a similar feel!

Crossfaith raises the party again on “Ex-Machina” with their signature sound of metal, electronic music and melody!

I can tell you one thing: this band is on their way to the top.

Get ready for a kick in the teeth by Crowsview’s debut album “Lost Resistance”… the H8000 scene lives!

The pet project of Delain’s guitarist Merel Bechtold, Purest of Pain, finally releases its debut full-length!

Simply Amazing. Leaves me in silence. Especially after hearing the last song of the album: ‘Breathing Underwater’. Everything seems so certain. Yet nothing is.

In short: very powerful on an emotional level.

Twitching Tongues was born in the LA hardcorescene in 2009, but they’ve created their own dark sound that doesn’t fit in only one genre. It’s a unique blend of metal and hardcore, think Type O Negative meets Agnostic Front meets Pantera.

Metalcore, but so much more than that. Futuristic and full of feelings, with a metalcore base. That is the latest release of Blessthefall!
