With a highly eclectic selection—ranging from formats (vinyl, CDs, DVDs, video games, etc.) as well as musical genres (from jazz to electronic music, including a (very nice) section dedicated to German hard rock and metal—of course), the shop is welcoming and brimming with hidden gems for enthusiasts, all at very affordable prices.

In Abyss, the artist synthesizes, with a particularly rocking personal anger, half a century of injustices and divisions that have brought us to where we are today: on the brink of the abyss. Powerful as a megaphone, caustic as a Maldororian chant, inhabited as a shamanic dance at the foot of the Wall.

Myrath's performance was an unforgettable encounter: the band set the Espace Julien stage alight! The Tunisians are happy to be in France, confiding that they don't have the same freedom to perform at home, and we're proud to welcome them, for their classy metal, their values and their generosity. The show is intense, colorful and warm, and we dance as much as we sing, to the frenzied rhythm of tracks from all their albums.

We know where we stand: Vanden Plas, with a 30-year career behind them, have some choice tracks in store for us, revisiting almost all their works in turn, including four tracks from their latest The Empyrean equation of the long lost things. The band's line-up remains unchanged until 2023, with Alessandro del Vecchio (replacing Günter Werno), known for his work with Edge of Forever and Jorn.
