If there's a silver lining to be found anywhere in the last two shitty years, it's at least this: bands haven't let their creative energy die out despite the complete live music blackout, and new album releases have been coming thick and…

Need some advice on raising kids who dream of playing in a metal band? Head to Medvode, where the parents of four now-grown young men and one young woman will blow all your doubts away in a heartbeat. Twenty years ago, those kids founded…

After a warm-up night like the one Iced Earth, Metalsteel and Eruption put on, counting down the days until we're back in T'mina gets a whole lot easier.

A domestic metal album coming out is already a reason to celebrate, and when it comes out on vinyl, even more so. Now imagine four homegrown, stylistically diverse releases hitting the turntable on the very same night!

Metalsteel have once again proven they're masters of their craft, and, true to the concept, reminded us that their evolution is still underway, with a curve that has pointed steeply upward from the very start.

On Saturday, Metalsteel gave birth to a star child on home turf: their sixth studio album, Beyond the Stars!

"That night, Helstar were greeted at Orto bar once again by all the people whose hearts beat for metal. Decked out in proper metal outfits, with proper metal attitude. That feeling when you walk into a gig and know you're in the right place…

More vampiring and clinking glasses of rough blood with the one-of-a-kind legends of old-school American speed/thrash metal, Helstar!

Day two of Live After Death 2016 was every bit as warm and homey as the first, which is the festival's greatest strength.

The seventh MetalWitch festival has arrived! This time at the club Cirkus, in the old Vič cinema. In Ljubljana's Vič district, of course. Five bands, five separate entities, five different musical stories.

MC Jedro in Medvode has come alive again. Pure Medvode through and through! Three bands, each stylistically miles from the others, but when it comes to home turf, all of them were founded in Medvode. Great friends. The well-known classic…

From the big-show spectacle of classic Megadeth hits to the primordial old-school pioneering of the fantastic musical merry-go-round that is Riot V, and of course a heap of musical delights in genre colorfulness from Prong, In Solitude,…

When two bands like Metalsteel and Sarcasm join forces for a joint show, it's instantly clear that this is a gig promising a metal feast not to be missed. Both bands have fresh studio albums in their pockets.

This Is Your Revelation might even be the band's best record so far. If it's not the best, it's definitely the most mature.

Metalsteel, the veterans from Medvode, are one of the few Slovenian metal bands who can brag about 1) countless gigs, 2) almost fifteen years of non-stop activity, and 3) a fifth studio album already.

Kudos to the organizers, who proved that unity really is strength and that you can pull off way more than just a decent festival on short notice. We're already looking forward to Paranoid Mania 2014.

With their third visit in four years, the legendary Saxon laid Ljubljana on the altar of heavy metal.

It's not just the weather that's heating up: the tension is building ahead of this year's MetalDays too, and the warm-up gigs are fanning the flames!

"…and so the last Metal Camp festival is done. From now on we get MetalDays. Same scale, meaning one big-name headliner in the lineup and a festival of the same length. Let's hope the location stays at the confluence of the Tolminka and…

With Steel Alive, the Slovenian metal scene has landed a milestone we could only dream about not so long ago. The first Slovenian metal "live" album!

With their fourth record, Metalsteel prove that the young heavy metal band has grown into a force the Slovenian metal scene can respect, and with work like this they can only build on that status from here on!

"Helstar remain a powerhouse on stage, one of a kind. Jerry's absence showed, "peeking through" especially in the mid-tempo stretches of the songs, but still. "Glory To Chaos" got a fantastic introduction in Ljubljana, and everyone who…
