Photo Reports
We almost forgot to post this one… as we do every year, we ask our photographers to pick their best and most favorite captures of the past year, and 2025 brought acts like Borknagar, Doro, Machine Head, Ne Obliviscaris, Room 13, Vola, Infected Rain, Luna Kills, Kickin Valentina, Art Nation, SatchVai Band, Arkona, Kreator, Cro-Mags, Bury Tomorrow, Electric Callboy, BTL and Ankor in front of Tom V.M.’s camera!
Day 2 at Tolminator was pure chaos and contrast! From Fulci and Midnight to Cro-Mags, Villagers of Ioannina City, and Cradle of Filth, our intern photographer Nox caught it all on the main stage!

Lists
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!
In 10 days, Kortrijk in Belgium, will turn the heavy up again with Hell’s Balls Belgium, just like they do every summer with Alcatraz festival. In case you weren’t sure yet why you should go, here are what we think are valid reasons for you to be there…

The GRIMM Reader
A book that is basically nothing fancy, just like the writer and main subject in it. Harley Flanagan doesn’t try to make things look or sound prettier than they were and shares the craziness that was (and is) his life through all the stories he gathered!
Album Reviews
The sludge heroes of Inter Arma put together a dedication to how they got started and show how exciting playing covers can be.
Burn The Priest is back! No, don’t worry: Lamb of God didn’t just recently quit. Don’t expect new work, just covers of the music that inspired these guys to make the music they do now.
Toxic Shock comes, explodes and destroys… one of the most intense bands from our little country bringing to live everything crossover is supposed to be!
