After a well deserved rest, the second day, the non-metal day of the festival was about to begin. A terrible, heavy heat was suffocating the city and the festival area. I was hoping for a little rain, but what followed surpassed all my expectations. The first group to open Day 2 was Fjord, a post... Continue Reading →
Dark Bombastic Evening has become over the years a strong underground tradition, slowly transforming from a local event held in Bucharest into a 3 days festival taking place in the middle of Transylvania, inside the beautiful citadel in Alba Iulia.

First of all, I have to admit from the start that I'm not very familiar with the Serbian (extreme) metal scene. The only bands I know of and listened to/saw live are Terrorhammer (review for their album here), The Stone, Nadimac and Infest. The first time I heard about Sacramental Blood was a couple of...

"Open the gates, Lord Far too long in the shadows we've dealt" This how "Necro Speed Megalomania", the first track from "Under the Unholy Command" opens. A message as sharp as a blade wielded by the Serbian Terrorhammer. Formed initially by Warbeast Holocausto (vocals) and Pentagramator The Helltyrant (guitars) in 2010, the band released a...

Iron Maiden stopped in Piata Constitutiei for one of the last legs of The Book of Souls World Tour that began in February. 4 years after the Maiden... Continue Reading →

Since then, the Hellenic scene has... Continue Reading →

That is the case with "Sathanas Trismegistos", the second album of the Swedish group Head of the Demon. In order to find out more about how it... Continue Reading →
Cadmium: Cadmium is a lustrous, silver-white, ductile, very malleable metal. Its surface has a bluish tinge and the metal is soft enough to be cut with a knife, but it tarnishes in air. It is soluble in acids but not in alcalis. It is similar in many respects to zinc but it forms more complex... Continue Reading →
Thrash metal erupted in the States in the early 80's and later it swept across the world in a fucking frenzy. Many bands appeared during that time, especially in San Francisco's Bay Area, but then, in the mid 80's this new music genre crossed the ocean and infected the European soil. It found a home...
