Babymetal proved at their sold-out Gasometer show that they're no one-hit wonder. Their popularity is growing fast. And with multiple generations in the crowd, the next visit could be even bigger.

"“Circle Of Dolls” doesn't stir up the same interest and excitement as, say, its predecessor “Scatterbrain.” It feels like KXM hit some kind of expressive zenith that closes out their evolution."

"The two-hour blast with Skunk Anansie at Kino Šiška will probably go down in the annals as one of the best concerts to happen on Slovenian soil this year, among club-level and indoor venue shows (comparisons with gigs at Arena Stožice,…

"So what we have here is an exceptionally strong act, firmly rooted in alternative rock (all the way to metal), whose presence gratefully enriches an otherwise perpetually undernourished Slovenian rock scene."

"Brand-new album in their pocket, Demolition Group showed once again on the big stage of Kino Šiška what a rock'n'roll machine they are, and how much punch their musical rhetoric packs when you give the band room to really stretch out on…

"Demolition Group are a band that always delivers their concert maximum. And this time was no different. The show at Gabrijel bar was in the category of those one-of-a-kind gigs you simply never forget"

"No philosophizing here. Over a near two-hour, all-out show, the band once again delivered exactly what you expect from them, what you're used to from them: that superb dose of their very own rock'n'roll compound."

"The band plays with undiminished power and fury even in their latest lineup, and with some mileage the new forces in the freshly rejuvenated group will settle into optimal effectiveness. So? Yes! Demolition Group are moving forward!"
