Concert review: ILLUMISHADE (& Delain), Matrix Bochum, 3 February 2024
In between all the Bad Omens shows, we decided to have a little break with some symphonic metal. Six concerts in 9 days is a bit of a heavy schedule, but with ILLUMISHADE as a kind of a cooldown in between, you couldn’t do much wrong.
