Insomnium, Club Quantic, 22.03.2018

Posted on: March 24, 2018 at 10:18 am

I haven’t been to a concert in so long, I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms! I don’t know what was going on lately, but it seemed that every time we had tickets to a band we were really excited about, something would happen at the last moment to prevent …

Gojira, Arenele Romane, 04.07.17

Posted on: July 6, 2017 at 8:46 am

I still have the chant of „GO-JI-RA GO-JI-RA” ringing in my ears. It was such a fun night, even though Gojira is not a particularly fun band (they’re more on the serious spectre). But more about that a bit later. We didn’t arrive in time for Xaon, which is always a …

Posted on: May 1, 2017 at 8:35 am

The third edition of Doom over Bucharest got us out of the house on a dark Saturday night and took us to our favourite concert location, Quantic pub. It was the same as always, space, air, beer, relaxed people, the female singer of Clouds sitting on our table during the …

Firma, Hard Rock Cafe, 10.03.2017

Posted on: March 11, 2017 at 8:33 am

Oh God I love this band! When I was in high school, I used to have a giant crush on Rocca. Fast forward 15 years and I still have a giant crush on Rocca….’s voice. I always enjoyed Romanian alternative rock and I love most of the classics of this genre, but Firma always has …

Jethro Tull, Sala Palatului, 21.02.17

Posted on: February 25, 2017 at 8:31 am

Exactly how badass can a dude with a flute be? The answer was found the other night at Sala Palatului, where Ian Anderson showed how one can carry a concert with nothing but a truckload of talent.  Now Jethro Tull is being used loosely, as two of the band members …

Doom over Bucharest II, Club Quantic, 26.11.16

Posted on: November 29, 2016 at 8:18 am

After not catching on quick enough that the first doom-themed festival in Bucharest will be sold out weeks before the show, this time we decided to buy tickets so far back that we weren’t even sure who was playing. We saw A dream of Poe there and it was enough. …

Warrel Dane, Hard Rock Cafe, 13.09.16

Posted on: September 15, 2016 at 7:46 am

“Just let us play the fucking song!” Ah, Warrel, such a treat! When he announced that he will play the full Dead heart in a dead world album, I expected emotion, angst and a heartbreaking burden. We got that alright, but we also got a very positive and jovial Warrel Dane. …

This Saturday was a good day to be a fan of Romanian rock and metal, as the „stars” of the genre gathered to Arenele Romane to entertain the fans and prove once again that Romanian rock is not dead (it’s cute that from time to time a group of artists …

Bucovina, Arenele Romane, 12.12.15

Posted on: December 15, 2015 at 9:25 am

Seeing Bucovina live was a very intense experience, for quite a large number of reasons.  First of all, it’s Bucovina. It’s the Romanian band I love and respect the most, I love their music, I love their professionalism, I love their attitude, their message, their love for the country displayed …

Nightwish, Romexpo, 10.12.15

Posted on: December 11, 2015 at 9:25 am

Oh wow! Last night was amazing, it was one of those rare shows were everything was just right, the artists’ attitude, the music, the atmosphere, the crowd, my viewing angle (that one is indeed very very rare at 1.6 m height, especially when among metalheads who are abnormally tall, for …
