Alphayn / Interregnum / Knaat / Dystersol 12.10.2019, Viper Room Vienna

On the 12.10.2019 the Event – Management Team of Volk Metal Jacket invited us to a headliner show of Alphayn with the supports of underground sizes like Interregnum, Knaat and Dystersol. The show took place in the holy halls of the Viper Room, one of the most established Metal locations in Vienna and finally the doors opened at 19:00. To describe the Viper Room in few words, it is offering two floors, while the concert hall is located in the lower floor of the venue, offering you enough space for around 250-300 people, space for offering merchandize, a nice bar and of course a stage equipped with all light and tone technics you need.

Arkona Pagan Rebellion Tour 2019

The Chapel, San Fransisco
19 September 2019

On one warm Friday evening, I took off work early and headed to the city not to simply escape the heat and indulge in the delectable culinary offerings but to primarily see one of my favorite bands. This particular trip was especially anxious with an interview confirmed with headliners, Arkona, but more on that later.

Lichtenvoorde, The Netherlands

When you like to spend you’re day with lots of fun, you have the chance every year again to visit the Zwarte Cross in the Netherlands.
Three days of fun and entertainment and when you’ve managed to have a spot on the festival-camping you can even add the Thursday to that.
This year The Rumjack are the band for us, but please don’t wait until you know next years line-up. The festival is very late with band-announcements and to be honest the line-up isn’t important at all. We have to point out, the Zwarte Cross isn’t a festival as we know it, but it’s an event with lots of things.

DNA Lunge, San Fransisco, USA

Last month, I had the very honorable privilege to attend Kalmah’s first ever North American tour titled Heroes to us. Although this review is a bit overdue, it’s also right on time with their release of a live filmed ditty in Montreal. Joined by Vreid and Empyrean Throne, this proved to be one of the most fun shows I’ve been too.
For starters, the DNA Lounge in SF is one of my favorite venues in the greater bay area. It is intimate, dual leveled with a full bar at each and a great sound to boot. It was a nice bonus to a highly anticipated event, not to mention great pizza from the same ownership next door.
