France has been in the past years a fertile breeding ground for many good extreme metal bands.

You don't get that often a good Swedish black metal band to stop in Bucharest for a concert, during a festival or while on tour.

"I close my eyes and think of home, Another city goes by in the night..." And on Saturday night, the 30th of July, that city was Bucharest.
