GALLERY: 26.9.2025 Euroblast – DAY 1 @ Essigfabrik, Cologne

For progressive metal fans, Euroblast has always been one of those events circled in red on the calendar – one of the rare festivals in Europe fully dedicated to progressive music. For years, I’d been wanting to attend, and when VOYAGER announced their exclusive European appearance, I did what any responsible adult does: I stared at my holiday balance, tried to bend the space-time continuum of work schedules, and finally booked the trip from Finland to Germany.

The first day of Euroblast featured bands like THE INTERSPHERE, BURDEN TO ATLAS, DVNE, ROYAL SORROW, INTERVALS, DISTANT DREAM, NIGHT VERSES, and VIANOVA. Check our photo gallery of the festival’s kick-off day here…
