A Belgian covering the first headline show of a Belgian band in THE metal country of the world, it felt like fate… So there I was: Elmun Baari in Helsinki was the place to be, the small downstairs bar of the legendary Nosturi venue, support came from Maniac Abductor and Ceaseless Torment and here are the shots of what took place…
