This gallery contains 69 photos.

LEGACY OF CYNTHIA‘s “Dance Macabre” is an album that I absolutely love. It was released in October last year but for one reason or another it took me a while to finally listen to it – that’s why it wasn’t … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ BBBlast! Party, 2017/06/03

This gallery contains 60 photos.

Then came INFRAKTOR and their first-class thrash. At the time they were one bassist short, and as much as I love that deep sound and missed it badly, the gig was still pretty… ferocious.  Popas assured the line-up would soon be … Continue reading

IN VEIN @ D.R.A.C., 2017/03/25

This gallery contains 48 photos.

Second band on stage was GRIMLET‘s label buddies IN VEIN. They insert themselves in the category “death/groove metal”, but I believe there’s something more in there. Good posture on stage, I can give you that much. Their debut album “Resurrect” … Continue reading
