Concerts

Beloved Artmania, what happened to you? And more importantly, how can we fix you? This year Artmania was a bit of a disappointment, because it seems they fell into some of the big-festival pits and a lot of the chill friendly atmosphere that so many of us love it for …

For all my love for metal shows and the festival’s longevity, I have never gone to Metalhead Meeting before. I don’t know why, I guess it’s because summer is usually littered with concerts and there was always something else I wanted to see during that time, but this edition had …

I love Corey Taylor. This could easily be the entire review and nothing else would be needed. From the guy that I was rolling my eyes about when my then boyfriend, now husband was obsessed with Slipknot, to “wow, this guy can really sing” to “omg he is the kindest …

OH.MY.GOD! It happened! It finally happened. Seeing Ayreon’s 01011001 live was a once in a lifetime moment and I was freaking there. Still can’t believe it. I wished so much for this, not only because an Ayreon live show is a rare event as it’s a logistical nightmare and Arjen …
