Interview with Odo from H.Exe
H.EXE have always worked with contrast, but on ‘Anthems of the Unseen Tide’ they turn it into a method: ‘Initial’ and ‘Legacy’ aren’t “alternate versions” so much as two parallel moral systems. The same songs are judged by different rules - one grounded in full-band physicality, the other returning to the project’s early, machine-led vocabulary - and both are treated as equally canonical.

Interview withVolker Lutz from T.O.Y.
Since 2001, T.O.Y. from Witten have been characterised by a unique combination of catchy melodies, melancholic lyrics and modern electronic arrangements. More than eight years have passed since the release of their last album. With their new album ‘The Prophet’, T.O.Y. returned on 5th December, and today band founder Volker Lutz answers some questions for us about his musical roots, his plans and, of course, ‘The Prophet’.

Luxor, Cologne, Germany 11th January 2026
President - “The Campaign Trail” European Tour
After months of cryptic teasers and a growing online mythology, the mysterious masked Metal collective PRESIDENT were scheduled to play the tiny bar Luxor as part of their debut headline tour, “The Campaign Trail”. The gig was sold-out in no time, and when arriving at the scene, there were people queueing round the block, waiting to be let in. So clearly, expectations were sky-high and I was curious if the band would be able to live up to the hype.

AntiSocial, Mumbai, India28th December 2025
Scarfest 2025 with Reverrse Polarity, Gutslit, Zygnema, Scribe
Even though the new year had already begun and the first days of January were slowly unfolding, it felt more than appropriate to take one last look back at the final days of the old year. On 28th December 2025, Scarfest once again took over AntiSocial in Mumbai and delivered a night that perfectly captured everything the city’s Heavy Music scene stands for: Intensity, community and uncompromising passion.
