In my opinion, metal can have many forms and shapes, and the three class acts I had the pleasure of seeing last Friday in Milan have embodied this very statement. I arrived at Alcatraz at about 6 PM, and there was an incredibly long queue to enter! I think I stood in...
We didn't know the meaning of the words "covid-19" and "pandemic" in 2018, and yet that year was the last time that an unbelievable ensemble like Haggard set foot in Italy. We had to wait to leave "covid-19" and "pandemic" behind us before they could come back and...

Last Friday night, at RUSH RistoPub in Bergamo (Northern Italy), I enthusiastically participated in a ViolaFuel concert. To be honest, it was my first live event of theirs, having known them only through their one studio album, “Medusa’s Seed”. And I have to say, recorded music just doesn’t do them any justice.
Here at FemMetal not only do we support women in rock and metal already in the music industry, but we also support the bands that are just starting their careers. And it is the case of this talented young group called Increased Decay, from Northern Italy. Increased...

I would be lying if I said that this wasn't one of the most anticipated live shows of 2022 for us here at FemMetal, not only because all the artists have been featured on the website, but also because this tour shows how impressive female artists can be. It's harder...

According to the dictionary of Cambridge, a siege is "the surrounding of a place by an armed force in order to defeat those defending it:" And I can't think of better words to describe the concert that happened on October 12th in Alcatraz, Milan for the co-headliner...
Concerts during the week are not rare, but this is my first time attending a show on a Wednesday. And for FemMetal, we had the pleasure of seeing two breathtaking bands ready to make us pass an unforgettable night. As usual, I partnered with our photographer Silvio Colombo to make this report. I would also like to thank Vertigo for their excellent assistance!
When it comes to music, every one of us has had our influences and artists that shaped our taste in this fabulous art. While talking to our photographer Silvio Colombo he mentioned that he used to listen to the glam rock bands that made the history of “Sunset Boulevard” in California, including Pretty Boy Floyd. So when they arrived here in Italy for their European tour, we hightailed over to Bergamo and saw them live. This is what happened!
If I had to choose which one is my favourite concert venue in Milan, it is definitely going to be the Legend Club. Their acoustic is close to perfection, and their food and drinks are amazing, as well as the staff over there. Also, and this is the main reason, they host the best concerts ever. And this RockersDen Rock Fest was no exception!
My first time ever in Finland was supposed to end with three days of metal music at the Tuska Festival 2022, the first edition after the Coronavirus pandemic.
After getting my badge and wristband at the REDI Shopping Centre in Suhvilati on Thursday, I patiently waited for the following day when the festival began.
The ultimate female-fronted tour package has hit the road across the United States. ‘00s rock legends Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless brought along 2 badass, young and hungry rock bands as direct support, Lilith Czar and The Warning. On Wednesday, July 20th, these 4...
