The guy’s from Aktarum describe themselves as Troll Metal from Belgium and are clearly influenced by bands like Metsatöll, Fintroll, Korpiklaani … Expect heavy stuff, grunting, spectacular riffs and great stories about trolls! I loved their gig in Vosselaar (Biebob) as opening b...
It has been a while since I have been to Biebob. As for Arkona: I loved them already last time, Metsatöll was a must see for me (missed them due to traffic jam in Durbuy but ran into them and had a nice interview with them), Svartsot is a bit in the same line as Metsatöll and the Belgiu...
Rossetti's Compass presents us a new EP, with the help of TyLean, Martin Bowes and the team behind Sub Culture Records. All retro new wave lovers have to keep their eyes open and give it a try! I adored it (yet: once again)!

There was a lot of fuzz about the new Editors album, some critics teared down the album whilst others were literally in dreams with Tom’s voice and with the presented tracks. It’s for sure not an album loved by all, some fans might leave whilst others join the fan club … One ca...
Heavy metal band TRIAXIS release their first lyric video, a poignant visual and auditory offering of the timely 'Lest we Forget'. The track is taken from their most recent album 'Zero Hour' released on 18th May 2015 via Rocksector Records.
Killing Joke is a post-punk band with a history that starts in 1978. I saw them for the first time on stage 20 years ago, so imagine my happiness when I was told I could review their newest album!
The AB in Brussels is pretty filled when the gig starts! It’s my first gig with IAMX and I see lots of familiar faces. Already from the first note it’s pretty clear that the audience loves this band and knows every word by heart!
