Dear Music Lovers, It has been a year since Pandemia became alive. Many thinks happened, and I would like to summarize it in a brief post. First of all, I cannot tell how I was amazed to get in touch with interesting bands, labels and projects all around the world....

by Pandemia WebzineOctober 28, 2018October 28, 2018033

From space to abyss, this full-length from the Slovenian artists Ontervjabbit gives a lot of inputs to think about. What is noise, what is music? The two things are so entwined in Torture Garden, that is not possible to define them accordingly to the classical standards. Is it music something...

Almost one week passed, and I will try to put some of the ideas are going through my mind related to Euroblast, the best progressive/technical indoor festival in Europe. This year was the second time I went to Essigfabrik and...

by Pandemia WebzineSeptember 24, 2018October 2, 2018048

What a wonderful pearl I discovered – by chance – in the middle of Europe. The Meakusma festival is a place where the sound itself is the main character, without any border or preconditions, celebrated for what it is, the basic pillar of many forms of art. I don’t know...

Discoveries | DADAISM

by Pandemia WebzineSeptember 22, 2018September 23, 2018075

In painting, Dadaism is defined as a movement who rejects the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, instead expressing nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest. Masterpieces of the ’20 show bizarre situations, dreams and nightmares brought on canvas, and no direct meanings can be extrapolated from the observation of...

New year, new Euroblast. I talked about it last year, when I had the possibilities to see Twelve Foot Ninja for the first time on stage, and I am glad to say that I want to repeat the experience for another year consecutively, since I like this gathering so much....

In a world in which all new genres are popping up every day, as a result of mixing and experimenting, is somehow nice to know that there are still bands that are following the good old way and play some “classic” stuffs. Here is a selection of new death metal...

BVDUB | Earthless

by Pandemia WebzineAugust 10, 2018September 6, 2018041

First thing I thought about Brock Van Wey was how dreadful is his look, and at the same time how nice and calm was the photo picturing him and his white cat. A strange combination of feelings, especially when I am about to listen Heartless in its full length after...

by Pandemia WebzineJune 6, 2018July 9, 2018046

For me is strange to see a bunch of girls going on stage not caring so much about their appearances and make the crowd “judge” them just for the music, but during these years I was positively shocked about three of them, that I have seen in different stages and...

I love the festival season. First of all, because festivals mean… holidays, at least for me. Second, where can you find so many cool bands in such small amount of time? Especially when the line up is crazy, like at the Dunk!Festival, the experience is something you can easily be...

If we talk about the Roadburn, there is soooo much to say. The venue, the entire line up, the concept, and also, the food, the facilities and the Netherlands in general… I have heard a girl saying that Friday ticket were completely sold out and is not difficult to imagine...

She is catchy – her music, her clothes, her way to interact with the camera – and creepy. She is the daughter of technology, an intricate algorithm made with synthesizers and vocoders. She doesn’t exist except in Facebook and Youtube. Everyone is her friends if it will like her or...

During the Complexity Fest I had the wish to interview Asger Mygind about his project VOLA – an interesting progressive voice of epic crescendo atmospheres embellished in perfect musical structures. Since a lot is coming for the danish band – among the others, the Euroblast in October – I wanted...
