It is festival time again. Many bands will tour a large number of festivals during the summer, and sometimes they squeeze in some club dates as well. And suffocation did so. The original support would by Profanity but they had to cancel due to illness. The club added a last minute support act to the […]

Pitfest @ Resort Zuiddrenthe, Erica, 28 April 2018
Pitfest is a small scale outdoors festival, I think it was held now for the third time and the first time to be a 2-day festival. Held at a far corner of the Netherlands somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I opted to go for the second day only as the first day didn’t have […]
Primordial @ 013, Tilburg, 13 April 2018
Primordial don’t play that many club shows in the Netherlands and so I only got to see them 5 times before in some 20 years. Now with a new album under their belt, they did a short tour in Europe starting in the Netherlands with two gigs. I went to Tilburg for the second gig. […]
Vader @ Gebr. de Nobel, Leiden, 5 February 2018
The Polish death metal band Vader exists already for some 35 years, founded still behind the iron curtain. They released their debut album in 1992 and celebrate the 25 year anniversary of it with a tour where they play it in its entirety. That is the only album by them that I actually like. So […]
Varathron @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 31 March 2018
This was the second day in a row I travelled to the Baroeg in Rotterdam. Fortunately it is quite close by. This day it was the host to the 6th installment of the Veneration of the Dead festival. Normally, I am not much into black metal, but I do make some exceptions. In particular when […]
Immolation @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 30 March 2018
The US death metal band Immolation frequently tour in Europe and I have seen them several times before, even though it has been a while. They released a new album “Atonement” last year and are touring now for a second leg in Europe to promote that album. They brought three bands to support them on […]
Memoriam @ Little Devil, Tilburg, 11 March 2018.
Memoriam are already about to release their second album, only a year after their debut, and after existing only for some two years. In the mean time they collected quite some following. Quite a feat, indeed. This weekend they did a few gigs in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands to promote their soon to be […]
Netherlands Death Fest III, 3 and 4 March 2018, 013 and Patronaat, Tilburg
The third installment of Netherlands Death Fest already took place last weekend. I skipped last year because the lineup wasn’t all that interesting. This year’s lineup was a bit more interesting. Now going all three days is a bit too much for me. I decided to go both Saturday and Sunday. The festival had to […]
Hamferd @ Little Devil, Tilburg, 14 February 2018
Another week, another gig. This time around, the doom death band Hamferð were touring Europe as special guest of the Downfall of Gaia. They had just released their new album, and promoted it in Tilburg on this Wednesday evening. As usual with this club the gig started more than half an hour later than scheduled. […]
Nile, Terrorizer @ Gebr. De Nobel, Leiden, 10 February 2018
I’m not a huge Nile fan, and I only have their first album. And I have only seen them live once before as a support act. But a headline tour with Terrorizer as well is an interesting package to check out live, and Leiden is really nearby even though I took the car instead of […]
