V’s Metal Media organised their first festival and invited us to experience ‘V’s Metal Fest’ and we were only too happy to drop by and support a budding organisation! With 10 Cats Down, #40Something, Noord, Narsic, Behind the Veil, Fabulae Dramatis, Promise Down, ArseA, Primal Creation, and No Apologies.
Super Wednesday at STARS IN TOWN rocked Schaffhausen! From local heroes ELLIS MANO BAND to the legendary ALICE COOPER, the night was packed with unforgettable performances. UGLY KID JOE brought ’90s nostalgia with “Everything About You” & “Cat’s In The Cradle,” while ALICE COOPER’s shock rock spectacle—complete with guillotine and powerhouse guitarist Nita Strauss—blew the crowd away. Rain didn’t stop the energy, and the packed Herrenacker square proved once again: this festival is pure magic.
From the amazing line-up of Tolminator 2025 we picked 10 acts we believe deserves your attention and time for you to check out at the festival if you’re there or at home if you’re not. A couple of them already played yesterday, like Vulvarine, High Parasite and Ghost Bath, but there is still plenty to discover and see with bands like Midnight, Cro-mags, Me And That Man, Party Cannon, Insanity Alert, Dopethrone and Mimi Barks!
The line-up of Close Enemies is build by absolute legends and veterans from the rock scene, and together with support from Most Wanted, Faded and Portal 27, they put the ROCK in Detroit Rock City at The Token Lounge last weekend!

Back in April on a very rainy day the gothic/country/blues group Me And That Man led by Nergal took over the seemingly sold out Korjaamo venue in Helsinki, flanked by the American rock ‘n’ roll group Frank The Baptist, turning it into one of the best shows our photographer has covered thusfar this year. An event by Live Nation Finland.
