In Italiano Qui Prologo Well-oiled after three days of festival madness, it’s time to kick the bucket and dive headfirst into the final blazing lap. Let’s go! Copenhell 2025 – Day 4: Sand & Sweat Showering in sweat – if it weren’t for the fine sand that, lifted by the wind, hardens like concrete on the skin. The Gehenna woods are the natural … Leggi tutto
In Italiano QUI Prologo A blessing and a curse, Friday at Copenhell is always an intensely thrilling day. This year, too, I end it exhausted but happy. The schedule is packed, starting bright and early, and I’ll warn you now—expect a midday crash, worn down by the unbearable heat (at least for me).

In Italiano QUI Prologo 6:30 AM, awake after way too little sleep. The Prodigy are playing tonight and I want to be in shape, so I decide on a quick nap. I’m jolted awake by a Pling — “Where the f**k are you?” It’s past 1 PM. Panic sets in, and I drop the ultimate lie: “Five minutes!” I grab four random things from … Leggi tutto

In italiano QUI I am chatting with Davide, at Leo’s, maybe the last authentic pizzeria that has survived the gentrification of the Copenhagen district of Vesterbro. I check the time on my phone for the umpteenth time while nervously adjusting my jacket. We leave the place. Davide, standing still like a statue, stares at the Vega sign with eyes that seem to see beyond the … Leggi tutto
In Italiano QUI Gong is not just a band—it’s a planet; an entire musical ecosystem in constant transformation. We had the chance to attend their concert at Hotel Cecil in Copenhagen during the Universal Ascension 24 Tour, and it was an experience that far exceeded our expectations. Approaching a seminal band from the 1970s psychedelic progressive scene, now without its brilliant founder Daevid Allen and … Leggi tutto
In Italiano QUI Night Fever’s hardcore is immediate and unadorned, with direct and raw lyrics, devoid of social pretentiousness, ostentatious activism, or lofty artistic ambitions. It is anger and social redemption. Salomon does not act as an intellectual or a merchant; he composes his music as if it were only for himself. Ruthlessly sincere.
