This concert review was quite a difficult one to write, since the event I'm talking about here is a tribute to a man I once knew. We were not friends in the true sense of the word, but we crossed paths and I respected him and his work he did in Paragon Zero and other... Continue Reading →
The Night Of Darkness and Evil – Xalpen / Lidérc / Ljuska live in Kék Yuk Budapest – November 24th 2023 AB
On a cold November Friday, Budapest's Blue Hell club was the host of a true underground concert, an event for all the true die-hards out there.

Watain Live in Budapest – Agony and Ecstasy Over Europe Tour 2023 AB

Return of the Freezing Winds – Carpathian Forest live in Budapest – 04.03.2023 AB
I don't remember when I wrote my last concert review, so I assume it must have been a long time ago. What better moment to resume this activity than the last minute show of Norway's Carpathian Forest which took place in Budapest last Saturday in Instant-Fogas Komplexum ?

Testament Live in Budapest – August 2019 AB
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...
