Festival Review: Sunday at Maid of Stone 2023 (Kit)

The final day of the first year of Maid of Stone crashed into action with Death Ingloria opening up the Maiden Stage tent with their eccentric and exciting tracks – the bassist had the strongest energy on stage, interacted with both crowd and press and put on a great opener to the last day of … Continue reading Festival Review: Sunday at Maid of Stone 2023 (Kit)
