Swedish industrial metal legends Pain are on tour throughout Europe right now, and we caught them at their stop at the Backstage venue in Munich, Germany. Bringing with them Finnish pagan metal giants Ensiferum, Swedish dark symphonic metallers Eleine and Japanese Ryujin, it was quite the night for heavy metal!

The Sonata Arctica “Arctic Storm Finland Tour 2023” has been a massive success, and we got to go to one of the first stops at Pakkahuone in Tampere. With them, they’re bringing the glam rock favorites Reckless Love and the energetic alternative rock/metal upstarts Luna Kills!

Wind Rose is taking over Europe with their very first headlining tour “European Warfront 2023”, with support from the German heavy metallers of All For Metal and US metal outfit Seven Kingdoms, a recipe for a proper celebration of all that is classic heavy/power metal! We caught up with them at the Backstage venue in Munich and saw it was good!

On the first day of Alcatraz 2023, we caught Eleine, Wind Rose, Rise of the Northstar, Bury Tomorrow, Powerwolf and Michael Schenker Group taking over the Prison Stage (mainstage)!

Metfest 2023 at the Tollwood area in Munich, Germany… a celebration with superheroes, warriors, good music and of course mead, with Feuerschwanz, Fiddler’s Green, Warkings and Grailknights!

Day 2 of Tuhdimmat Tahdit was just as hot. Carnival Academy, Heavy Metal Perse, Antony Parviainen Trio, Turmion Kätilöt, Metalite, Wolfheart, Shereign, Before the Dawn, Brymir, Mokoma, Swallow the Sun and lastly Battle Beast. Master Events gave us a festival that is certainly worth coming back to.

Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events brought one very hot festival to Tampere’s Ratinanniemi. It started with Verikalpa and ended with Beast in Black, but we also can’t forget about all the bands in between: Transworld Identity, Prestige, Ensiferum, Bloodred Hourglass, Dynazty, Lordi, Mors Subita, Dead by April and Diablo.

On the third day of Rockfest 2023, we weren’t able to capture as many bands as on the earlier days due to other responsibilities and some artists not wanting any pictures to be taken, but we still caught killer performances on the Red Stage by Soundi by Igorrr, The Hellacopters and Beast In Black!
