70,000 Tons of Recap Day Two For normal folk, the new year begins on 1 January of every year but for me, it doesn’t start until after the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise has completed its course. I can officially say that we are now in the next season […]

70,000 Tons of… Oh my God, Holy shit Part II Last week I looked at Bloodbath, Insomnium, Carach Angren, At the Gates, Tyr, Turisas, My Dying Bride, Delain, Belphegor, and Sodom. This week I look at ten other bands that I am excited to see (and by now already have!) […]
