When I was invited to this show, I was excited to meet a real life rock-metal personality. And, thankfully, Jizzy hasn’t changed; he looks like he’s just stepped out of 80s. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw a time machine or Dorian Grey picture stored back stage somewhere.

Even though we were just a bit late, Alex and I arrived at the club kinda late, but the support group hadn’t been on stage yet. The club wasn’t crowded at that time, more or less around 9 o’clock. After a while, the newcomers from Greece, New Past, started playing. The band released its debut… Read More

The Blue Note is a small intimate venue that showcases up and coming bands. It allows the fans unparalleled access to the performers, so they can feel like they’re not just watching a show but are part of it. It’s the perfect place for people to say, “I saw them at the Blue Note before they were… Read More

Founded in 1969 Wishbone Ash pioneered the use of twin lead guitars influencing bands such as Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy. Founding member Andy Powell absolutely did not sound the part of a 68 year old. His vocals were as strong as they have ever been. As for his guitar playing he clearly is… Read More

Boneyard Dog, which consist of Rob Mancini on vocals (his voice perfectly suits the blues rock and classic rock genre), Athan “Lyssa” Kazakis on guitar (he plays some perfect blues-rock solos), Kevin Monaghan on bass and Sean Brogain on drums, entered the stage with lots of energy & power… Read More

Null Positive, with their mechanical, sometimes melodic, but more often extreme metal, sung in German, was intriguing, but not spine tingling at least as it translated on stage. Their frontwoman Elli Berlin, who also came out to assist Therion with some vocals in a song, cuts an impressive… Read More

Arriving there, the queue of people waiting to enter the concert hall was extending to the side of the block (about 100+ meters) but it was being processed fairly quickly. I managed to enter a few minutes later only missing a few songs by Frenchies Dagoba, whose melodic core of sorts is both not… Read More

With a heavy heart, we did board the plane, as our dearest friend Alex “Polish” Stzigel, who was scheduled to come with us, has departed this vain earth about a month ago, thus cutting down our team of friends attending. Even Jim another friend, who’d have joined us there, had things turned out… Read More

Italians Sinheresy, opened the show and in the dark, because of the figure she cut, tall and thin, I mistook their singer for Elina Laivera (a Greek female singer that has relocated in Germany, which I found odd)… ehm, soon I conferred they were Italians and their style is a mix of mid-era… Read More

Threshold was the only “big” progressive metal band I never had the chance to see live… until now! Both expectations and wondering were embedded in my head for two main reasons. First, they have just released one of the best records in their career – the magnificent “Legends of the Shires”.… Read More

Black Therapy, an Italian combo, got completely canceled for this performance, while Finnish band Whispered, who are melodic death “wierdos”, who wear Japanese Samurai regalia and use some folklore Jap influences in their songs, did a 20 minute performance, of which I was only able to catch a… Read More

I must admit that quickly I lost interest in Arch Enemy when Angela Gossow entered their ranks as I did like their Liiva days and I only consider a couple of albums that they did with her as remotely interesting, but that would really put me in a minority of people, but still I thought that… Read More
