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 …

Another Artmania has ended. I’ve said it before, I simply can’t get enough of this festival and I have a lot of respect for the way the organisers handle it year after year. Yes, there were bigger lines than usual this time. Yes, at some point it took 30 minutes …

Even though I’ve been to almost half of its editions, Artmania continues to amaze me. After hitting a rough spot because of the Town Hall’s decision to ban paid concerts in the Large Square (which threatened to put the festival to death, since Artmania is synonim with Sibiu and there was no …
