December Newsflash
2025 is coming to an end. Most people count down the days by Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Metalheads are caught in Whamageddon until the bitter end out of the sudden. Nevertheless there are some occasions left over for a good old Headbangers Ball.
Vulvarine -Fast Lane
Are you ready for some punk-inspired Heavy Metal? Are you ready for an outstanding all female Heavy Metal band? Are you ready for some Austrian Heavy Metal? Now you will get it all at once. No compromises, let’s get ready for Vulvarine’s debut album on Napalm Records. The album was released on March 28th, at the same day, Vulvarine played their home town Vienna at Szene Wien. Let’s now get ready for a wild ride on the “Fast Lane”.
Rock & Metal Day’z – Behind the Curtain
While most visitors to concerts and festivals concentrate on the obvious only, the bands on stage, I often like to take a closer look behind. Who are the people working hard for it since we know, Pink is not there for our entertainment? What goes on backstage, who is in charge? How much work is behind a three days’ event? At least, who are those people who seem to play a role in front of stage as part of the audience? Here is a little insight from the Rock and Metal Day'z, Whitsun 2022.
Rock Harz Festival 2022 – finally
There is only one festival embedded in such a wonderful, picturesque landscape as the Rock Harz Festival from 6th to 9th July, one day longer than usual as a bit of a compensation. With its up to 22,000 visitors it is a middle sized festival nearby the town of Ballenstedt. Let’s see how everything worked out this year because it is a constantly growing festival.
Rock & Metal Day’z 2022
The early summer sun has burned the metalheads while they celebrated the first wave of festivals. You might now think of Metalfest Plzen or much bigger and more mainstream, Rock am Ring and im Park with 85,000 spectators as the first ones to come up. Cut the last two zeros. I’m talking about a much smaller, laid-back festival, the Rock & Metal Day'z at Oschersleben nearby Magdeburg.
Thundermother – Heat Wave 2022
We are in the middle of spring 2022. Less and less tours are cancelled. More and more tours catch up the more than two years delay. One of them is Thundermother’s Heat Wave Tour 2022. It already started in March with some UK-dates. With an interruption in between it restarts again at Bensheim on Tuesday 17th of May. It will continue by September 2022.
Rockharz – The Wasted Years
There are a lot of festivals in summer. Some are rainy. Some are sunny. Some are hot and dry, some are cold and wet. However, there is only one festival embedded in such a wonderful, picturesque landscape as the Rockharz Festival.
