It was the first time I travelled to Luxembourg for a concert and I can say that I didn’t expect to leave with such a good impression. The occasion was Slipknot’s one-off appearance between dates on which they were… Continue Reading →
There are few musicians who are as committed to the European Idea as Jerome Reuter. Through his music, under the band name Rome, he has been promoting Europe, both geographically, as a naturally cohesive entity, and philosophically, as a place… Continue Reading →
I think it’s going a bit far to describe Feradur as “Luxembourg’s death metal royalty” as the publicity does, since I’m struggling to name any band from the Grand Duchy, let alone anyone blessed with royalty. Still, this EP is… Continue Reading →
Sometimes you look at an album’s cover and you know what you’re going to get. Others make you think. This nicely-packaged album suggested something psychologically deranged but progressive, something angst-ridden but carefully crafted. That bit of fun over, I read… Continue Reading →

Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe and has some good ties to Ave Noctum thanks to our European based reviewer. So at first I wondered why he hadn’t picked them up but remembering he prefers the blackened… Continue Reading →
It’s been just a year since Cradle Of Filth last hit this venue, that time with Behemoth and Inquisition. Their performance that night – which included numerous old gems such as ‘Haunted Shores’ and ‘Beneath the Howling Stars’ – got… Continue Reading →
After the experience of last week’s Judas Priest gig, I’d be lying if I said I had any confidence that tonight’s crowd would be any better. But from the get-go, there was a tangible air of excitement among the masses… Continue Reading →
The return of Judas Priest to Luxembourg was, as you might expect, an exciting prospect. Once their support act – who on the night proved even more redundant than expected – was announced, that excitement dissipated somewhat. Still, Judas Priest… Continue Reading →
