My saturday started with a logisitical challenge that allowed me to test two things. First, the quality of the public transports in Nantes as well as the ones set up by the Hellfest and second, if all my hikes and performances were of any use in this situation. I managed to make it on time … Continue reading Festival Review: Hellfest 2024 – Day 3 (Eduinaluca’s View)

Gig Review: Korpiklaani / Heidevolk – O2 Academy, Oxford (2nd March 2024)
Well, it has been a long time coming, but finally I have the pleasure of writing a review that is not related in any way to M2TM.

2017 Crew Review – Eduinaluca, Writer/Reviewer
Thus I reach my 18th and last article of the year, my personal review of 2017. Best New Album: Verity by Nokturnal Mortum, hands down. I've got nothing much to add to what I've previously said but I think that this album and everything that surrounds it from my personal point of view had a … Continue reading 2017 Crew Review – Eduinaluca, Writer/Reviewer
