After quite a long pause, the newest blog-type concert article is finally here. This edition features another two concert reviews: the legend of hard rock music Alice Cooper (Round 29) and Polish black metal masters Mgła (Round 30).

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 Goura, Gawthrop, Wycan, Cheyne Stokes, Room 101, and KillBorn.

We here at Metal Storm pride ourselves on our thousands of metal reviews and interviews and article; metal is our collective soul and passion, which is why we bother with this junk. That being said, we'd be lying if we stuck to our trve-kvlt guns and claimed that metal is the only thing we ever listen to. Whether we want to admit it or not, we do check out some other stuff from time to time.

Round X - like 10 - like it's the 10th time for 70000 Tons Of Metal to set sail en route to a tropical destination with thousands of metalheads on board.

Post-rock as a genre is an experience of sailing the sea of certain moods and a specific mindset for me. It can be rewarding, but it can also be such a drag. While I enjoy such concerts every now and again, I can't in all honesty say that I've ever contemplated going to a full festival of post-rock-related music. However, somewhat unexpectedly I got really interested in VIVID, a post_rock Festival in Kristiansand, Norway.
