Favourite albums: There are loads of excellent ones. For that matter, I will not mention any in particuliar.
Favourite venues: The Art Zavod Mechanica in Kharkiv (Ukraine). It was formerly a locomotives then a tanks factory. It kept some steampunk features and is now a place for festivals, art exhibitions, concerts and such.
The Parlament Club in Plzeň, Czech Republic, is basically a metal bar in a cellar with a tiny stage for generally black metal concerts. It has a certain charm and this is also a perfect plan for a week-end.
