Besides starting the new year properly looking to the future, this month we’re also still looking back at all the awesomeness that 2023 brought us. One of those awsome things was the already 3rd edition of the by Bloodred Hourglass curated festival Black Box Mikkeli. They were able to bring a killer line-up again on the 2nd day of their event with besides a fantastic show by themselves, Insomnium, Gaerea, Balance Breach, I Am Your God and Lastout!
Our Benelux and France head of accreditation and most active photographer in that region, Tom VM, made his own selection of favorite pictures he took in 2023, including some new stuff that wasn’t shared on our site before with Biohazard, Bleed From Within, Brutal Sphincter, Brutus, Electric Callboy, Michael Schenker Group, Sepultura, Arion, Blackrain, Overdrivers, Avatar, Winery Dogs, Charlotte Wessels, Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, Extreme, Ghost, Michael Angelo Batio, Arch Enemy, Doodseskader, Halestorm, I Prevail, Powerwolf and SKYND!
We set the hard task for our photographers to choose the best 30 pictures that they have shot in 2023 out of possibly thousands of captures, and here is the result of Tom Treuten’s selection with Butcher Babies, Fateful Finality, Fear Factory, Thundermother, Hypocrisy, Spiritbox, Behemoth, Dog Eat Dog, The Cult, Skillet, Agnostic Front, Scorpions, May The Silence Fail, Cannibal Corpse, Ataraxy, Dark Funeral, Goldmann, Solstafir, Ingested, Antiheld, Lansdowne, Völkerball (Rammstein Tribute), Fettes Brot, Danko Jones, Royal Republic, Team Tot, and Mindead!
Welcoming events that try to bring something different and out of the norm to Finland, we went to the second night of the club festival Hellsinki Techfest with Sirkuit Preiker, Khroma, Balance Breach and Hacktivist back in September for some killer music and high energy!
The last Wednesday night of November at The Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana was definitely NOT a “Nightmare” or a cause for “Panic” for fans anxiously waiting to catch a stop on the “Blackout Tour” with From Ashes to New, The Word Alive, Catch Your Breath and Ekoh!
Back in August, Asgaard’s new live season kicked off with a metalcore/deathcore event in collaboration with Return Bookings, bringing Signs of the Swarm, Mental Cruelty, When Plagues Collide, Knives To A Gunfight and Subvergence to our venue to absolutely destroy!
