Every year the Lost in Music Festival brings around 100 Artists to Tampere, showcasing what the Nordic region has to offer of music. And we made it to one of the shows happening at Olympia-Kortteli, featuring rising stars Bloodred Hourglass, One Morning Left and Shereign. It was packed, it was hot and it was a big party!
People at the Backstage venue in Munich were eager to see The Baboon Show play the songs of their new album ‘God Bless You All’ live, and we were not disappointed! What an energetic punk and rock ‘n’ roll show was that! Support came from the equally killer Spiders, both bands you need to go see live whenever you can!
In the last hot days of this year’s summer, the H.E.A.T & Eclipse Co-Headliner Tour 2023 entered the stage at the ‘Im Wizemann’ in Stuttgart, Germany. That was a night of awesome Swedish hard-rock, and both bands delivered to the full expectation of the audience!

A night of Swedish rock ‘n’ roll on a Finnish stage with Backyard Babies and Satan Takes A Holiday!
Enter Shikari is a band of extremes. They’ve switched back and forward between styles and genres and we witnessed their newest show. As It Is was there to warm up the crowd and delivered!
Twenty years. Two decades. Almost an entire generation. That’s how long long the Beglian rockers of Triggerfinger have been around. That calls for a celebration, right?
The Beast In Black is back ‘From Hell With Love’ and set the stage, venue and every single fan ablaze!
Satanic Surfers have a special kind of bond with Belgium, or rather with the Belgium punk rock family. Their very first gig in Belgium was in Ostend actually and they were more than happy to be back. Even while it was in a tiny basement, no fucks were given this evening.
After it seemed we were getting no show at all, we ended up having a blast at one hell of a rock show by Danko Jones!

Album Reviews
You can’t miss Diamante Azzura Boveli when she passes by with her sapphire hair. But you can deffinitely not ignore (nor forget) her once you hear her sing. She is only 24 years old and she’s already crushing it. After her debut album in 2018, she made a killer rock album all independently.
For the first time in almost 10 years Evanescence puts out new music. Get ready to jam to this heavy hitting masterpiece.
The Dead Daisies is definitely breathing Hard Rock through and through. They want to prove that Rock is alive and well and here to stay, well, they just proved that.
Prepare for some explosive American hard rock coming from the debut full-length album of Hearts & Hand Grenades!
Take 4 talented metal musicians, seventies rock classics dipped in a heavy/thrash metal sauce and that’s what you get with BPMD’s first album…
Rock power trio RRRags delivers an album filled with vintage rockers that’ll get you going and dancing throughout the summer times. Good vibes on this one!
On March 6th, 2020, Blue Öyster Cult return with the remaster of their album ‘Heaven Forbid’, out via Frontiers Music!
Airbourne, the hard rock misfits of a new generation are back with a “Boneshaker” of a record!
Get ready for ‘Nothing But Wild’. The Wild Roses’ black album with a yellow wolf on it: you will notice it, and it will attack you.
Heroic, positive, powerful, religious if you want it to be, don’t be afraid to be yourself, … The same formula as Skillet always use, and it still gives me goosebumps
