After a long break, Gluecifer, who are one of Norway’s finest rock exports, played 3 gigs on their ‘Kings of Rock Tour 2023’ in Germany. We were lucky enough to be able to catch one of these shows for you at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart! Power-rock trio The Demtones gave a solid support as opening act.
The year wrapping up means that we’ll be looking back at the amazing things we’ve experienced, and “album of the year” lists. We’d also like to give some attention to our talented concert photographers who go out and cover shows for us. So here is a first in a series of articles where our artists pick their favorite pictures of 2023 with Anna/ScarletMemory Photography who mostly roams around in Tampere, Finland and pictures from bands like Pain, Sólstafir, Eleine, Myrath, Battle Beast, Brymir, Sabaton, Mors Subita, Lordi, Metalite, Shereign, Diablo, Before The Dawn, Wolfheart, Sonata Arctica, Deathstars, Brother Firetribe, Psychework, Apocalyptica, Voidfallen, Poets of the Fall, Amorphis, Lost Society, and Everwave!
American NWOCR band Hearts & Hand Grenades meld rock, country, hip hop and pop in their new single ‘I Just Want My Rock’, another track from their upcoming album ‘Where I Begin’, set for release on January 26 via Eclipse Records!
Nonpoint, one of our photographers’ favorite bands to see live, made a stop at The Eclectic Room in Angola, Indiana on their “The Milliion Watts Tour 2023” and with the help of (hed)pe, Sumo Cyco and VRSTY turned the night in an absolute barn burner!
Extreme was on tour throughout Europe to present us their brand-new album “Six” and brought The Last Internationale with them as a support act. We caught their high energy shows at their stop at Trix in Antwerp, Belgium!
On the 10th anniversary edition of the Belgian hard rock and metal festival Blast From The Past, they did what they do best yet again: bringing the old school to a stage near you with an impressive line-up of Angel Witch, Onslaught, Exumer, Vengeance, Witchfynde, Hitten, Existance, Steelover, and Toledo Steel!
Heavy rock outfit Lucifer released a video for the new single ‘Slow Dance In A Crypt’, a track from their upcoming album ‘Lucifer V’, set for release in January via Nuclear Blast! And announced ATTIC to join them on the second leg of ‘The Satanic Panic European Tour 2024’ as special guests!
