After almost 30 years of rocking Flemish stages, the legendary Clement Peerens Explosition is calling it quits or as they would say “kuist zijn schup af”. A sad loss for Belgian music, but we were there to capture them going out with a blast at one of their farewell shows at De Roma in Antwerp.
The triumphant return of the Danish Volbeat to Munich for two sold-out nights at the Olympiahalle was quite the sight to behold, and with them came the ragga metallers of Skindred and US rockers Bad Wolves!
On a cold day in October, Volbeat came to warm us up with their hard rock and heavy metal circus at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland. With them, they had the UK ragga metallers Skindred and the US rockers of Bad Wolves, and we saw it was good!
Ashes To New, The Word Alive, Dropout Kings and Eva Under Fire set The Eclectic Room in Angola, Indiana on fire with their high energy sets of alternative metal!
Earlier this month, Finland’s favorite hard rock monsters Lordi rocked the legendary Tavastia venue playing the first of their last three tour dates of “Lordiversitour” in their native land Finland!

Lordi and his monsters visited Backstage Munich with the “Lordiversitour” and we had a whole lot of fun! With them came the German power metallers of Almanac and the popular Czech metallers Dimitry and we saw it was good!
Skid Row on tour with a new album and a new vocalist, so we couldn’t hold back from catching them at their stop in the Kavka Zappa venue in Antwerp with supporting bands Edge of Forever and Max Pie! And what an energetic evening it was!
After 3 years Black Stone Cherry returned to German stages. They have not lost anything ever since the last time and are a fantastic live band with an energy loaded show. Presenting songs from all of their albums making the German fans at the LKA go crazy. With very special guest The Georgia Thunderbolts opening the night, it couldn’t get any better!
The coalition of the Norwegian stoner punks of Bokassa and Greek stoner rockers of Planet of Zeus rocked the house seriously. On The Rocks Helsinki was the place to be and those who weren’t there missed out on some good fun!
Gig Reports
At the end of October, Volbeat impressed the people at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland with a rock ‘n’ roll show of epic proportions. With them came Skindred and Bad Wolves for a decent warm-up and party!
Have you ever had a “bangover” before? If not, get ready, because you’re going have one after a Trinity of Terror show with the unholy trinity of Black Veil Brides, Ice Nine Kills and Motionless In White with support from Atreyu!
Bokassa and Planet of Zeus brought a bunch of stoner and attitude to On The Rocks Helsinki in the beginning of September, kicking off our weekend properly!
Starset took us on a galactical trip like no other at their show at Kemba Live! in Columbus, Ohio! And with the support of Red and Divide The Fall, the evening was really packed with limitless energy to feed off from!
