Concert review: Bloodywood, Calva Louise & Demonic Resurrection, Live Music Hall Cologne, 6 March 2025

Concert review: Finntroll, Metsatöll & Suotana, Turock Essen, 27 April 2024
Finally a review that doesn’t take me ages to write it down, yay. Last night we went to Essen to see Finntroll, who have been one of my favourite bands since I was around 13 or 14 years old. And since I don’t have any photos to edit this time and I have a short break between my work right now, I can take the time to write this little concert review.
