2023 has been blessing us so far with many interesting releases, and this is also the case of the show that the FemMetal team attended last Friday in Bologna at the Alchemica Club. Reasons Behind hosted this event to share the day their third album became public for...
Artificial Intelligence has taken over the world, and not in the way movies like "Terminator" and "The Matrix" imagined it. Walk into any coffee shop where people would be working on their laptops, and you'll spot at least one person using ChatGPT for work or simply...
Last Saturday, in the lovely landscape of MusicClub Modrá Vopice, four bands have performed at the Reborned to Rule fest, all dedicated to gothic and symphonic metal. FemMetal was present at the show to report for you, and for the first time ever, I had the honour of...
What to do on a Sunday night in Milan? Luckily there is plenty of choice for concerts, and this last week False Memories played a special show at the Legend Club to bring the dark onto the audience once more. Check out the full galleries of the event by Silvio...
The grey weather seems not to leave the Verona province, and the third day of Isola Rock is wrapped with clouds and rain. I guess the weather is pretty appropriate considering that this is the "Shades of Prog" day, and I personally couldn't wait to see the last three...
The sun shines in Isola della Scala... oh no, wait, it's raining! This twist welcomed us at the Palariso, but this minor inconvenience didn't hurt our mood, and the FemMetal team was ready to enjoy the bill for tonight's shows. I want to thank once...
There is always a special feeling when attending a concert so close to our home, and this statement couldn't be more factual for Isola Rock, the annual metal festival that takes place in Isola Della Scala, not so far from where I live. I am particularly fond of this...
Last year, KNOTFEST launched a new podcast hosted by Tori Kravitz and Alicia Atout. The podcast focuses on promoting and supporting women's progress in the music industry, whether their role is performing or management or simply being influential on the scene. The...
Here at FemMetal, we can never get enough of this fantastic tribute band that is Wishmasters, which is why our Silvio Colombo has taken it upon himself to follow them to Milan and report for us. Enjoy this brilliant photo gallery, and let's enter once more Nightwish's...
When I joined FemMetal, I knew I had to do everything in my power to bring awareness and spread the word about bands that include female artists, and with the date zero of the International Women of Rock tour happening so close to where I live, I couldn't miss it....
I enjoy going to concerts, and I enjoy them even more if the concert is abroad, because I know the atmosphere and the setting will be different from my homeland. This is the occasion when the FemMetal team took a trip to Switzerland to see "The Epic Apocalypse Tour"...
A Saturday evening completely abandoned in the capable voices of great women; that’s how this Italian night feels. March has just started, Milan seems more alive than ever, and Frozen Crown is scheduled to present their fourth album to the world in an incredible event at Legend Club Milano.
As you might know, here at FemMetal, we take very seriously March 8th, International Women's Day. And what better occasion to celebrate it than with a festival full of talented artists, ready to enchant the audience of Milan? We deeply thank Legend Club for the...
Like most people in the world of metal, I got accustomed to this genre thanks to a friend who made me discover Nightwish. And, of course, each of us has a different favourite singer of the three that took part in the band, but there is only one Queen of Finland. Her...
About 41 years ago, one of my favourite songs was released worldwide. In fact, in January 1981, Joan Jett released "Bad Reputation", an iconic track that, even though many decades have passed, still has a lot of power and meaning. The song has always had a special...
There is only one festival that takes place in January of every year in Italy that celebrates and promotes women in metal. And for the fifth edition of the Milady Metal Festival, no expanse was spared because it involved many incredible groups led by talented artists....
How many festivals, to your knowledge, take place both in winter and summer? Absolutely none, except for Isola Rock! This event was organized by Associazione I Butei and Angela in particular, which we deeply thank for their professionalism and kindness. I arrived at...
FemMetal editor, Reuel Way, presents his top 10 albums of 2022 and highlights three new artists in the rock and metal scene that particularly caught his attention.
How did FemMetal do in 2022? Here are some stats from our last year! Thank you for making 2022 a special year for us!
Ever wondered what the winners of the FemMetal Awards get? They do get a digital certificate (soon to be sent to the winners) and a bigger picture than the other nominees in the year's Hall of Fame (under construction). However, the winners and a number of the...
With Egyptian mythology as its theme, FemMetal Awards 2022 continued the tradition of honoring tens of Metal and Rock musicians who were remarkable in 2022. Who were the nominees for each of the 12 categories and how were the results shaped after the public voting...
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.
For their "Thundergods Tour 2022", the Italian heavy metal pioneers Crying Steel performed on a special live show joined by Wicked Asylum and Drunkards. FemMetal was there to capture that magical night with the awesome photos of our Silvio Colombo. Get ready to be...
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...
We absolutely believe in FEMALE POWER! And the concert that took place near Como at the Joshua Blues Club was a perfect metaphor for our belief. Our very own Silvio Colombo captured the essence of both bands, where these amazingly talented ladies play and sing with their whole souls. Enjoy the photos and take a look at these bands!
Of all the celebrations during the year, I think the most "metal" one has to be Halloween. Witches, zombies, vampires, creatures of the night that roam everywhere uncontrolled... if this isn't metal, then what is? And for our readers, we have decided to compile a list...
Ahoy, matey! It is time for us to sail with the Black Sails Crew, the Kalidia fan club that organized this concert that took place in Centrale Pub, near Como on October 1st. Our photographer Silvio Colombo (who is also a member of the fan club) was there and he'll...
The metal genre is definitely not born yesterday, and so many of the bands that today we call "legendary" some decades ago were pretty much starting their career. And one of these legendary bands is Lacuna Coil, hailing from the same country I am in, which is the...
