Tormentor – The Return – Anno Domini XXX – Live in Budapest, 21st of April 2018 AB
During the 80's, the extreme music scene was not so popular in the Central/Eastern part of Europe, compared to what happened in the democratic West.

Dool – Live in Budapest – Elate | Elevate tour AB 2018
Last year, when Dool's debut album came out, I was pretty excited of this new discovery. I listened to "Here Now, There Then" quite obsessively, being blown away by the music and the atmosphere contained in those 10 tracks and since then, I always wanted to see the band live someday. Life arranged it that... Continue Reading →

Kind Dude and Drab Majesty live in Budapest – 20.04.2017 AB
I think I have become a stalker. At least that's how I would call myself after following King Dude in 4 countries in the last 2 years. First Paris/France, then Sofia/Bulgaria, last year Alba Iulia/Romania and now Budapest/Hungary. But it was worth it every time, no matter if he played solo (Paris and Sofia) or... Continue Reading →
