Reviews of three Swedish concerts in one week
So this past week I saw three Swedish bands headline concerts in a row. I saw In Flames play on Saturday 14 January 2012, Graveyard play on Monday the 16th and Ghost play on Thursday the 19th.

Another Mega Sized Concert Recap

He had been undergoing chemotherapy when he caught pneumonia and his body simply couldn’t take any more. While the nation still [...]

Mega Sized Metal Concert Recap
Recently I’ve not been able to write as many concert reviews as I’d like to. I’m considering doing some shorter ones in the future. Believe it or not, my average concert review takes me 10-14 hours to put together. I have been going to a hell of a lot of shows and that just makes [...]
