Even though the year has only just begun, the first festival of the year is already near. Next week, I will travel up north to the lovely city of Groningen for the infamous Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival. Many bands from all over Europe will showcase their talents to an audience of (pretty much) every music industry representative of the continent. One of the many bands that will be playing is Belgium prog. metal act Hippotraktor. They have been on my radar for quite some time and I will definitely make sure to catch their set.
