SMASH FEST VII

Last year I had the pleasure hitting my first Smash Fest down in Gisborne, New Zealand - and this year I was back again for another round of some of New Zealand's best underground and upcoming metal acts, along with a healthy dose of Medieval fighting between acts.

JAKOB at The Cabana, Napier on December 22, 2018
