    Bloodstock 2023

    It feels like it was only yesterday that I was dragging myself home from Sunstock 2022, the relief of no longer existing in what felt like an oven outweighing any post-festival blues, yet the highlight of my musical calendar came around again in quick fashion. After last year's heatwave-meets-heavy music experience, the news of what had occurred at Wacken and Metal Days in recent weeks meant I found myself nervous and having to prepare for a variety of situations (flip-flops or wellies: why not take both and break your back on the way carrying it all into the festival?).

    Rockstadt Extreme Festival 2023

    I have a bit of an on and off relationship with Rockstadt Extreme Festival, especially when compared with other festivals in Romania that I have attended as many editions as possible, like ArtMania or Dark Bombastic Evening. Not always affording the expenses and the vacation days, plus how inconvenient and exhausting it can get, it was Rockstadt that has previously been the one festival I would drop out of the possible options. I first attended in 2015, went yearly for a while, missed out in 2018 (even if I'll forever regret missing Converge), and went again in 2019, and at that time I also got media creds (but not photo ones, admittedly understandably so), and then 2020 rolled around and we all know what happened. The 2022 edition, though somewhat comparable to this year's, was ultimately one I also dropped, even if names like Blind Guardian and Lamb Of God were pretty enticing.

    Abattoir's Concert Hunt - Arch Enemy (Live In Zagreb, 21.06.2023)

    As part of the variegated summer festival touring, Arch Enemy are one of many bands that filled the “in-between” days with a moderate portion of club shows. The (almost) half-Swedish band played in front of a 1000-head crowd, packed inside a steamy, sauna-like venue that is based in the middle of the main Croatian city. Executing this on the first day of summer suitably brought additional heat throughout the whole place. At the end of this show, I could simply wring liters of sweat from my soaked shirt.

    Splitting Hairs / Hearing Splits (Jan-Jun 2023)

    We regularly review full lengths, collaborations, sometimes even live albums. EPs and demos often get love in our Clandestine Cuts series. Heck, we even review a bunch of stuff that isn't metal. But when was the last time you saw a review of a split album? Exactly! We are here to make up for that!

    Abattoir's Concert Hunt - Alestorm (Live In Zagreb, 15.11.2023)

    In general, the year 2023 hasn’t been rich with concert attending for me due to different reasons, especially this autumn, even though there...
