Last weekend (22nd-23rd of March), the 11th edition of the infamous Inner Awakening Festival was held in the Kék Yuk Klub in Budapest. One of the reasons which made this edition so special was that after 15 years of hard work and tribulations, the festival has come to an end, but not before celebrating one... Continue Reading →
Best of 2022 AB
When it comes to music, I can honestly say that at least for me, 2022 has been quite a good year.

Head of the Demon – Sathanas Trismegistos review
I am alone in the room. It is dark. And hot, extremely hot. From the speakers comes a wailing music and its sinister melodies pour out one by one like the slithering of a giant snake. The felling is really scary, and the music is crushing. This is not the horror you experienced when you... Continue Reading →
