The year is 2017 Anno Bastardi, and the month of (virtually) no sun is upon us. Long are the nights, cold is the north wind. Murky frozen grounds meet a grey sky at a non-distinguishable horizon and form a bleak vista of the world. Indeed, the veil between ours and the underworld is thin and […]
Festival reports 2017
Festival report: Party San Open Air 2017
Fast forwarding a few years and we’re Party San Open Air 2017, August. Forecast wasn’t so nice, with rain showers for a few days, but what’s good about the new location is that even if it does rain (and at a certain point it was kiiiiiinda heavy raining), it doesn’t get as muddy as others […]

I was careful not to overdo it, though, because I wanted […]
Festival report: Conspiracy of the Damned 2017
It is slowly becoming a tradition for the Metal-Exposure team to head out on Easter and find the darkest venue with the blackest of metal to overcome (another) pointless, alienated and obliged holiday. Last year we ended up in Munich, at the Dark Easter Metal Meeting (read the report here and be sure to check […]
