Iced Earth – Incorruptible

I never realised how much I was missing a straightforward badass heavy metal album until I listened to Iced Earth’s new release. Six years and three albums later after the departure of the iconic Matt Barlow, the band is still going strong and has managed to keep much of its original sound, without growing stale or boring.

Gojira, Arenele Romane, 04.07.17

I still have the chant of „GO-JI-RA GO-JI-RA” ringing in my ears. It was such a fun night, even though Gojira is not a particularly fun band (they’re more on the serious spectre). But more about that a bit later.

Firma – Descantece vol. II

I am so glad to see Firma back on track! After a rather long break, that many people thought was the end of this band, they came back in force with Descantece vol. I and I couldn’t be happier to know that it wasn’t a one time event and that they seem decided to regularly put out albums once more. So Descantece vol. II is out and it’s pretty much the same Firma we know and love and of course that makes me one over-excited fangirl.

Ayreon - The Source

I am the first one to admit I’m a giant un-objective Arjen fangirl and that I will be mega-excited about anything this guy puts out, no matter the label it’s under. Also that his “guess the vocalist” pre-album games on Facebook are the most effective teaser he could ever lay on me and the amount of amazing singers on this album alone would make me over the top excited, if there was any need for more of that. So now that we have established how long, unnecessarily detailed and completely biased and praising this review will be, away we go.

Doom over Bucharest III, Club Quantic, 29.04.2017

The third edition of Doom over Bucharest got us out of the house on a dark Saturday night and took us to our favourite concert location, Quantic pub. It was the same as always, space, air, beer, relaxed people, the female singer of Clouds sitting on our table during the previous acts and most people not realising it's her until she got up on the stage, some drunk dude from the audience getting on stage during the show and no one even batting an eyelid, just waiting for the song to end so he'll get down on his own... must be a club concert.
