It is the year 2011. At that time, no one could have known that a former floorball player from Ružomberok would one day become someone who creates his own musical space. But even then, his story had already begun to take shape — a story of decisions, a passion for music, and a quiet refusal to follow paths that simply didn't feel right....
Artery Wire is not a band that followed a conventional path. There is no story of a group of friends meeting in a rehearsal room or years spent playing together in a garage. This project was born from the connection of two people brought together by a shared creative vision before they had even written their first song. Lorna, who...
Among the noise of guitars, pounding drums, and emotions hidden in lyrics, there is a space for bands that are shaping the current face of the Slovak metal scene. One of them is Landless — a group of musicians from Žilina and the surrounding area who are following their own path, built on a modern sound, energy, and an honest...
Förderstatus Lärmen is a project from Germany that refuses to remain confined within the strict boundaries of a single genre. Their music is rooted in alternative and progressive metal, but it naturally incorporates elements of nu-metal, melodic death metal, as well as influences from indie rock, jazz, and classical music. The result is a...
In the past few hours, we had the opportunity to do one of our very first interviews with a festival that, in our opinion, not many people know about. This is the story of a festival located in Croatia called Vashar Festival.
This is the story of the band Infamous Grind.

The new project was therefore not born as a calculated career move, but rather as a natural need to...
The band SHROT from Ružomberok was formed by a group of friends who originally met through tribute projects, jam sessions, and playing heavier music together. From their early days of mainly performing cover versions, they gradually and naturally worked their way toward original music, and today they are heading in the direction of a...
In the Slovak underground scene, more and more new names have been emerging in recent years, and the Slovak band Conviction is one of them, coming from Spišská Nová Ves and its surroundings. Although they have only been active since 2022, their approach to music and their overall sound already suggest that we will definitely be hearing more...
Wolnera is a band from Vranov nad Topľou. They are formed by the "holy trinity" of musicians — Ľubo Luterán (guitar, bass guitar, vocals), Ľubomír Baran (guitar, backing vocals), and Lukáš Husivarga (drums) — and represent a project that refuses to remain confined within genre boundaries, instead building its own musical identity.
As you may know, our project RIFF RIOT ROCKERS BLOG is dedicated to supporting the rock and metal scene beyond the borders of Slovakia. A few days ago, we reached out to a young Swedish band called Awaken Ashes, who are entering the scene with a clear vision: fast, technical, yet melodic music that strikes the listener directly...
