Photo Reports

Another year is over and our photographer Tom Treuten is still doing what he loves most: concert photography. Since October 2021 we’re a home for his photographic work and these are some of his personal highlights of 2025 that he hopes you’ll enjoy them as much as him, with pictures of VULVARINE, STEPFATHER FRED, ANKOR, DONOTS, WOLFMOTHER, THUNDERMOTHER, SKINDRED, TUK SMITH & THE RESTLESS HEARTS, SALTATIO MORTIS, PARKWAY DRIVE, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, MOONSHOT, MEGADETH, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE, HELLOWEEN, ENGST, GATECREEPER, ENEMY INSIDE, DISTURBED, DANKO JONES, BEAST IN BLACK, APRIL ART, EMIL BULLS, ELUVEITIE, AVANTASIA, ARCH ENEMY, AMENRA, NITA STRAUSS, and COBRA SPELL!

Saltatio Mortis marked 25 years with a spectacular jubilee tour! The Ludwigsburg finale featured pyrotechnics, wild Viking‑boat crowd-surfing, and hilarious crew pranks. As their own support band Bad Loverz, they rocked 80s hits in glam wigs before delivering a powerful set spanning 2.5 decades. A night of fire, fun, and unforgettable energy.

Album Reviews

‘Isn’t this a little weird’? Yes, yes it is. But it’s so weird that it’s good. I even dare to say genius. But I think we have to view this album more as a fun experiment than as a full release.
