Anima Mundi, Live at Musicon Den Haag, 18 June 2016

This would be the first time I would see the band Anima Mundi perform, so I was really curious how the band would play live. I arrived an hour before the gig would start, and the band was still busy with their sound check. Sadly there were big problems during the sound check because of technical difficulties that couldn’t be solved correctly, so there was a big chance that the sound would cause some trouble this evening. Luckily the band members themselves did a wonderful performance, despite the technical problems with the sound.

Progcity Festival, Musicon Den Haag, 28 May 2016

After a wonderful first edition of Progcity Festival (you can read my review of the first edition here) it was only a matter of time when the second edition would be held. Organizer Gert-Jan van Middelkoop had two bands lined up I’ve never seen perform live before; the Dutch band Profuna Ocean and German band Ashby. I know Profuna Ocean’s music (I reviewed their latest album In Vacuum, you can read the review here), but I never heard any music from Ashby. While Profuna Ocean had played a couple of times before at Musicon, Ashby was playing their first ever gig in The Netherlands.

So this is March 2016… (And we lost another great artist again)

UPDATE! It seems that someone (person/artist/band) shared this post today (March 15th) on Facebook (I think) because I get a lot of views on this post, which is amazing! Sadly I don’t know who shared it so I would like to know who referred you to this post today. I would like to thank that person personally, and also YOU of course for reading this post! If you have time, please let me know who referred you to this post by posting a comment in the comment section or by sending me an email (grendelhq[at]gmail.com). 🙂 Thank you very much!

UPDATE 2! It looks like hundreds of people are reading this post but sadly nobody has answered my question in update 1. I would love to know who (could be anyone or anything) shared this post on March 15th so I can thank that person personally. Thank you! 🙂

Yes, it’s time for my latest Sunday blog post! Too bad I have to start this blog post with some sad news…

Personal Playlist by Iris (10 March 2016)

Yes, why not? I listen to a lot of new music, old music, weird music… Any kind of music! I discover a lot of new music thanks to the albums I get from Background Magazine/artists & bands to review, but sometimes I make time to explore both new and old music by myself. Here’s a selection of what I’m listening to recently…
