Durbuy Rock Festival, April 2018 (day 2)
What nicer way can there be for spending the first ‘over 20-degree Celsius’ weekend of the year than at a rock festival with a varied line up, cold drinks and lovely metalheads?

Eluveitie – The Early Years

Plus, there’s so much crappy music out there that it seems only the classic metal/power/speed bands are worth listening to since they still stand the test of time.” Kevin Stewart-Panko in conversation with HOLY…
