Wacken Open Air 2023 – from story and sold-out records to great line-up
2023-06-23
The great success of Wacken Open Air is not from the realm of fiction. The world's largest metal music festival has been reaping laurels for several years. So sold-out of WOA 2023 in record time - just 6 hours, is fully justified. Lithuanian community also is a part of WOA for years. Reports starting from 2002, review of book “We The People Of Wacken“, contribution to Wacken stories – this is only few examples of Lithuanian footprints in this Metal Event of year. So we are definitely looking forward to WOA 2023. See you, rain or shine!

2017-05-08
The show of SIBERIAN HELL SOUNDS in Vilnius on May 2nd crowned the band‘s 2017 European tour with their fierce Danish allies HEXIS. Just before the rewardingly dark and aggressive in-your-face (literally) hardcore performance, I had a rare honor to do my first ever outdoor interview with guitarist Dan and vocalist Matthew of this marvelous Australian band that you need to check out if you haven‘t already.

"It must be extreme, that‘s all": interview with Sadist of BESTIAL RAIDS
2017-04-29
Uncompromising and not messing around with their purposes BESTIAL RAIDS, that performed on the eschatological stage of Armageddon Descends for the second time, were one of the high points of the event, in my opinion. I had a pleasure not only to witness the relentless raid of these polish metal-beasts but also to sit down together with band‘s vocalist and bass player Sadist to talk about the musical and ideological extremities of BESTIAL RAIDS.

Guys in CUMBEAST are not very fond of HM-2 pedal but they might write a ballad
2017-02-14

The third chance is given by THIRD CHANCE. Take it!
2017-02-08
You definitely can’t tell the guys in THIRD CHANCE what to do because they definitely know what they are doing causing some real hardcore-violence in the crowd that you find yourself irresistibly drawn into. On February 4th the Lithuanian audience had a pleasure to experience these Finnish hardcore-delights in a feast of heaviness and brutality “In’Feast Vol. I”. And, boy, THIRD CHANCE was killing it. Here’s an interview with the band’s vocalist Viki and bass player Niki done just before the show.

REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER: freedom is the most important thing in life
2016-07-12
REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER is one of the few bands, in my opinion, that deserves the title of a post-black metal band. These French musicians are an example of good, high quality and successful post-black metal. The possibility to hear them live in Lithuania is close already – the band will give a concert in Devilstone Open Air festival in Anykščiai this weekend already, on July 16.
