The year wrapping up means that we’ll be looking back at the amazing things we’ve experienced, and “album of the year” lists. We’d also like to give some attention to our talented concert photographers who go out and cover shows for us. So here is a first in a series of articles where our artists pick their favorite pictures of 2023 with Anna/ScarletMemory Photography who mostly roams around in Tampere, Finland and pictures from bands like Pain, Sólstafir, Eleine, Myrath, Battle Beast, Brymir, Sabaton, Mors Subita, Lordi, Metalite, Shereign, Diablo, Before The Dawn, Wolfheart, Sonata Arctica, Deathstars, Brother Firetribe, Psychework, Apocalyptica, Voidfallen, Poets of the Fall, Amorphis, Lost Society, and Everwave!
Sabaton brought war to Helsinki and tried burning down the sold out Jäähalli with their fire show. They outdid themselves with this grand masterpiece, brought to Finland by TuskaLive and Grey Beard. Babymetal and Lordi both did a great job warming us up for this spectacle.

Sabaton came all the way from Sweden with their theatrics and pyrotechnics to almost literally set Antwerps biggest venue on fire and brought Amaranthe and Apocalyptica to heat things up even more.
After a warmup party with Knotfest France 2019 at the Hellfest Mainstage Area, we are super ready for our first real day in Hell.

Gig Reports
Sabatons ‘Tour To End All Tours’ came finally to an end, but not before also bringing the fire to Finland. With the Support of Lordi and BABYMETAL, they gave us an incredible show at the sold out Jäähalli in Helsinki last week. Thanks to TuskaLive and Grey Beard for bringing them here!
Sabaton’s “The Tour To End All Tours” is hitting Europe right now, bringing their biggest show yet to fans all over the continent with support from BABYMETAL and Lordi! And we simply could not miss out on that. Not only did we had a chance to interview Tommy Johansson but also to witness this show in Amsterdam before it’s hitting the Antwerp Sportpaleis this Saturday.

Interviews
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.
