Insomnium, Tribulation @ Orto bar, Ljubljana (Slovenija)

I first saw Tribulation live in Ljubljana in May 2015 and I was completely blown away by their performance! At some point I completely "fell into the atmosphere, the music" and at the end of the concert I realized I'm standing in the corner of the venue with my eyes almost shut, enjoying the music like in some kind of trans! I even forgot to take pictures. That's why I was impatiently waiting for this day to come, to hear the Tribulation live again. This time as well, I was blown away... I admire Jonathan for his energetic performance, as well as the whole band connection with the audience. I see some similarities in new album Down below with the previous one, The children of the night, yet both are my favourites. Maybe I like "Down below" a bit more. The first time I listened to the album, Nightbound was the song that somehow popped out and stuck in my head. I even had it on repeat 😊 Now the whole album is my muse and motivation when I do my art and my brain relaxation when I need to disconnect. Listen, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
I'm really glad I had the chance to meet the guys, they are so kind and I wish them all the best with whatever they will do.
Jonathan, if you are reading this, I do hope there will be an exhibition and I hope I get the chance to attend or maybe even collaborate! 😉

Attention!!!! Currently there's a vote going on by the magazine METAL HAMMER GOLDEN GODS, for the best underground band! Tribulation are one of the nominees! Hit the link here and vote for them! They do deserve it!

Enough with the words, here are some photos from friday's (30.3.2018) concert in Orto bar. I apologize, I have no photos of Insomnium...the place was so crowded, there was no chance to take any. 😕
