Metalfanatics Board

The fourth annual Finnish Metal Expo takes place on February 15 & 16 at the Cable Factory in Helsinki, Finland. Opening hours Friday (Feb 15) 17-02 and Saturday (Feb 16) 14-02. Exhibition area closes at 23:00 both days.

Once again the FME offers insight to the current state of Finnish metal music. The previous years have proved that there is great interest towards such an event. The location of Cable Factory has been filled to the rim with metal enthusiasts, with about 5000 visitors attending each year seeking out the latest in band, media, event and merchandise offerings. Therefore, we have managed to increase the expo area to accommodate the growing interest. Again, there are more than 50 exhibitors showcasing their latest products and services in the exhibition area.

die sind ziemlich genial!!

also musikalisch nicht immer gut. aber die schaffen es, mit ihrem großem repertoir, dem vielseitigem bühnenbild und der großartigen garderobe jedes mal anders rüber zu kommen. also zumindest fast immer!

mich überraschen sie auch immer, obwohl sie mal auch einen schlechten Tag abundzu erwischen. Habe sie aber zuletzt zuoft gesehen...

ja stimmt, meist sind se sehr abwechslungsreich, ...

aber ot: ich freu mich drauf!
wer wohl der sieger des awards wird?

scarecrow nwa... wir werden spontan nachnominiert *ggg*

noch nicht mal mehr 2 wochen...
