After a very interesting interview with a non metal band (Varsovie), it is time for another out of the box encounter, with the Belgian band Of Blood and Mercury. The two members, Michelle Nocon (vocals/guitar) and Olivier Lomer (guitar/effects) are not new to the metal scene as both have (or still are) playing in several... Continue Reading →

The name of that ghost, is…Hagzissa". But who is this Hagzissa, you might ask, and why am I talking about this band? Well, to begin with, they... Continue Reading →
I first saw Testament live 16 years ago at Sziget Fesztival, but I cannot recall too much of their performance considering the fact that their show took place right after Slayer destroyed the main stage, when they performed the famous Reign in Blood in full. 16 more years had to pass for me to be...
