Best venue:
The best venue goes to Audio in my opinion. I’ve been to a lot of gigs there this year and I’ve never once had a bad time there. The sound has always been awesome and the staff that work there are really friendly. I can’t recommend the place enough; It’s just that good.
Best news:
Ex Deo are coming back :D
Worst news:
Bataclan, Ghost Inside
Stuff to look forward to:
I’m really looking forward to Omnium Gatherum’s new album next year. I can say that it’s epic, awesome, incredible, wonderful, magical & spectacular and that my review of it will be coming soon.
Meshuugah new album, Immolation potential new album, Insomnium potential new album, all the epic shows coming up :D
