8.2.2025. Mantrats + Sailing For Tomorrow + 6:33 @ Le Barde Atomique, Ecquevilly

This was a first concert on which I went without knowing any bands! And it was a great feeling, discovering new music, getting surprised! The life energy is good, and I'm in my viking mode, discovering, conquering, enjoying. First band was Mantrats, and they were good. They are new band, it was their third concert and they gave their best. I don't know what kind of music they play. It was nice to see the kids of drummer and bass player in the crowd. It remided me how family is important + that kids also enjoy metal. Second band was Sailing for Tomorrow and they were awesome! Amazing vocals and great, heavy metalcore music. My first metalcore live concert! 6:33 band was perfection! They were extremely theatrical, singer was amazing, and music is a mixture of metal, boy bands, funk... It's all a big chaos with funny lyrics and cool concept! Life is about having fun! :)

20.10.2025. Lacrimas Profundere + Messa + Paradise Lost @ Elysée Montmartre, Paris

Haven't been on a metal concert for more than 8 months, since my health problems started. But soon I go to the doctor, and it's important to try and find some peace. I went to this concert because of Paradise Lost. I don't really listen to them, but they are an important band and wanted to see how will it sound. Lacrimas Profundere were trying hard, but the sound of singer was not loud enough so I din't hear him, and because of that didn't get a good impression. Messa was amazing, I closed the eyes and got carried away by stoner/doom vibes and haunting voice. Yes, my life is hard, that's my shoulders are heavy, and feet are lost. But it was a mass for the emptyness inside. Paradise Lost were fantastic, they sounded like on records. Professional band, people were singing every song. This concert channeled the energy - to find peace in what is, even if paradise is lost.
