It's that time of the year again and our annual Metal Storm Awards are right around the corner. But before we let you lose to vote for your best album(s) of 2018 we compiled a list of our "best of", so make sure to check them out.

The first "biweekly" report of this blog-type concert arcticle is here. This edition features two concert reviews from the events that happened in first and second week of January (Round 01 & Round 02), and two concert prefaces for the third and fourth week (Round 03 & Round 04).

Is independent, unsigned, and underground metal what you seek? Weary traveller of the metal world, rest a while here. Clandestine Cuts are the best demos and EPs from these bands, the heart and soul of metal music. These musicians are slaves to their passions, and their blood keeps the metal machine alive and turning. Support them with a simple listen, and discover the future. This issue features music from Moisturizer, The Subliminal, Disparaître, Teleport, Desolation Realm & Fall In Line.

Here we go. So, while being a regular "concertgoer", it came to my mind that I could make some kind of extensive project out of it, to make and present it as a one-year-journey in a blog-style manner. This project will include a regular attending of the events, writing prefaces prior every concert, reports/reviews after, and posting some basic information/statistics of the single event.

A lovely November Tuesday night, a normal working day to follow for us average people, and a crazy package of extreme metal groups. This tour combined four bands that are inclined towards the same goal regarding their musical (genre/sub-genre) tendencies. Germans Cytotoxin, crazy French bastards Benighted, Canadians Cryptopsy, and Belgian grinding machine Aborted, this time performing as a headliner on this European trek.
