On the bleakly humid evening of 17 May 2025, Quantic Pub, in Bucharest, Romania, was once again baptised in distortion. The event, part of the Eastern European leg of “The Wolf & The King” tour and provided by Rockstadt Extreme Fest, brought together 1349, The Ruins of Beverast, Vitriol and Sarcator...

Sometimes, the stars align in wicked ways. On the night of 13 May 2025, under the half-lit skies of Bucharest, Romania, Metalhead summoned a triad of sonic dread to Quantic Pub—Venom Inc., Hate, and Ater. The stage wasn’t dressed for comfort. It was primed for impact. And those who...

There’s a kind of clarity that only comes after decades in the dark. Norway’s 1349 have long stripped their vision down to essentials, only to reconstruct it with occult rigor. “The Wolf & the King” doesn’t break rank with their past—it transfigures it. If “Massive Cauldron of Chaos” was...

Black Mass Pervertor‘s latest EP, “Hyperborean Baptism” defies the ordinary, delivering a volatile cocktail of savage energy and untethered aggression. Hailing from Finland, this black metal band...

Alright, so the dust has settled, the lights have dimmed, and it’s time to talk about what went down at Quantic Club on December 12. Samael. “Passage“. In its entirety. And yeah, they didn’t just stop there. The band took us on a wild ride, dropping classic after classic....

There’s something undeniably exciting about waiting for a promising band to return after a long silence. It’s like standing on the edge of a precipice, not knowing when or if the plunge will come, but feeling an exhilarating tension in the air. After seven years of anticipation, Liberator, one...
