Reviews

Spanish band Vhäldemar entertained Tokyo with their tongue-in-cheek take on power metal.

They didn’t walk like Egyptians. Instead, American death metal legends Nile crushed Tokyo Godzilla-style.

Spanish extreme metal band Bloodhunter finished their Asian tour with a splendid evening in Tokyo.

Four decades on from Yngwie’s exit, Alcatrazz is still relevant. Their newer songs rival the classics.

The Gems were on fire on a hot Swedish summer afternoon. This is a blood-sweat-and-tears kind of band.

Graham Oliver and Paul Quinn reunited on stage in Tokyo for an evening of classic Saxon music.

Accept still has a beating metal heart. Joel Hoekstra’s final gig with the band was a masterclass in how it should be done. What a great heavy metal band this is. Long may they keep touring and entertain us.

Groove to the max when Electric Boys rocked Sweden’s best rock festival.

A knockout performance by The Darkness in a dark Swedish forest. A fantastic rock show based on sweat, passion and four guys applying themselves.

Mr Big’s Big Finish at the Skogsröjet festival in Sweden. While it is sad when a great band calls it quits, Mr Big does so while they are still in their prime.

A reunited Swedish Erotica built a high-energy rock’n’roll city in the woods.
