Ulmich om Braand – UOB Festival 2025
What do you do when your favourite Swiss guys from Fire Rose, while on tour in January as support for Bonfire, tell you that they will be playing at a festival ‘just around the corner’ in the summer? Of course, you promise to come along. ‘Just around the corner’ turned out to be 120 km away, in Ulmbach between Frankfurt am Main and Fulda. Nevertheless, I set off on 20th and 21st June. The UOB Festival is to be the start of my two-week festival summer holiday,

August is one of those busy months in the year with one festival after the other, often on the same date.

Fire Rose – Blood On Your Hands
Today we have the great honour to present you the review of an album, hand forged by our most beloved Swiss guys. We are talking about Fire Rose's "Blood On Your Hands". We link our impressions to the words of Simon "Simi" Giese, guitarist and founder of Fire Rose.

Helle Bohdanova raises her voice
We were very pleased to meet Helle Bohdanova, vocalist of Ignea from Ukraine, for an interview in early May 2023. Ignea’s new album Dreams Of Lands Unseen had just been released a few days before.
The Hellfreaks – Pitch Black Sunset
