Two months later, here's the Hellfest report!

What, did you think we were done? No, the 20th anniversary celebration continues in Part II, featuring many more of Metal Storm's talented contributors of the past, present, and, hopefully, future.

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…

Another nice tour package coming here in Toulouse, South France? Once again, something not to miss!

Wolves In The Throne Room + At The Gates + Behemoth? Quite a nice bill, right?

Shining (NOR) playing in Toulouse? Of course I would be in!...

Not being as watchful as I used to be about shows in Paris, I, at first, missed the announcement of this joined Front Line Assembly / Die Krupps co-headlining tour (some 20-odd years after the last they did together). But when I learned about it, guess what? I HAD to be there, as that is not the kind…

Part II of our Hellfest 2018 report, featuring my ramblings once again enhanced by Musclassia's experience.

Come with me/us to a trip to Hellfest's thirteenth edtion...

Part 7 = moar prog!

Hi everyone! This sixth article... Well, it's way late. But November is NaNoWriMo month after all, and as it was my first take in partaking in this world writing challenge, it came first. But I did it, and so we can come back to our original schedule ;).

Fifth one? Man... We're halfway there!

Fourth article already? Well, let's tackle some proggy and avant-gardish stuff this time.

With this, the third installment of my 'A Hundred Albums' series, I decided to go all Too Extreme!

Hi all! Here's the second blog post of my A Hundred Albums series. I went roughly thematic this time...

Yeah, it's that time of the year, when the Metal Storm Awards are looming closer on the horizon! But before we let you have all the fun...

Finally the end of the 2014 Metal Storm Awards!

Entry #53. These strange men came to visit us yesterday. They didn't look like they were doctors because they dressed funny and they sometimes spoke in a weird language. They asked if anyone had been to Iceland. I was mildly surprised that quite a few in our ward stated for a fact that they had.

As soon as the Toulouse date of this tour was announced, I knew I had to come. Goatwhore coming here? Hell yeah!!!

Let's face it: they didn't bring any Bordeaux wine with them...

This report features too much hugs of a rare violence and unrestrained love - reader's discretion is advised.

Once again, Anathema were great and delivered an excellent show! OK, now that the obvious is out of the way, what else to say?

... "Well, if Soyuz Bear were heavy, Conan were HEAVY." ... "I was really curious to see what Pallbearer were all about. And I was impressed." ... "Ahh, finally seeing Yob live!"

So, you wanna know how Hellfest 2014 was (apart of awesome, that is)?

Hey? It's been a while since I last wrote a blog note here! And well, as there's nothing metal in here - except that some of the people mentioned are metal fans or musicians - this peculiar concert review fits better as a blog post?
