Even though I have been living in the Hague area for more than a decade and a half, I never went to the club named Musicon although I rode passed it on my bicycle numerous times. The American thrash metal act Flotsam & Jetsam played a gig there as part of a 3-day drum clinic […]

Entrails @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 26 june 2016
Entrails is one of the many Swedeath bands that started in the early 1990s. They recorded some demos, but never released them and vanished from the scene rather unnoticed in 1998. Some ten years later the band was restarted by guitarist Jimmy and they recorded some demos. 8 years later they released 4 albums and […]
Solstice @ Gebr. de Nobel, Leiden, 28 May 2016
There are two active Solstices around, both having released several albums. That might incur some confusion. One is a classic doom band from the UK. However the band now touring Europe is the US death / thrash combo. And with them they brought to more bands. The opening act of the evening is the Italian […]
Marduk and Immolation @ Baroeg, 13 May 2016
Marduk and Immolation are touring together once again – the fourth time Ross said. I haven’t followed Marduk ever since the late 90s. But I like Immolation quite a bit and they are very solid live. They brought two more bands on this tour. I however missed the first band, Bio-Cancer that started playing at […]

Morgoth and Incantation @ Baroeg, 18 April 2016
Morgoth are a German, underrated death metal band from the nineties. Musically, they are much akin to the early Death and Pestilence sound, yet still with a ringing of their own. After great two EPs and a full-length they started to experiment a little on Odium, and concluded their career with the the terrible Feel […]
My Dying Bride @ 013 Tilburg, 7 April 2016
My Dying Bride is probably the most consistent of the three “big” doom death bands. Even though some albums are a little less inspired, they have remained quite true to their style. Unfortunately I had not been able to see them all that often, so a European tour is much welcomed, but even three gigs […]
Gorguts @ 013, 26 March 2016
Gorguts have just started of their tour to support an album (EP) that hasn’t been released yet. Maybe a bit odd, particularly as the album wasn’t on sale at the merchbooth either. But anyway, Gorguts is a very interesting band, Obscura is a ground breaking album. They brought no less than three other bands on this tour.
Suffocation @ De Helling, 13 March 2016
The mighty Suffocation is touring Europe again, with a new drummer again – Kevin Tally- and a new stand-in singer. They brought two supports on tour, but two more were playing on this day. I skipped those first two bands though, as it started early in the evening and I wanted to do different things. […]
Netherlands Death Fest, 013 Tilburg, 28 February 2016
Now that the Neurotic Death Fest discontinued, the organisation of Maryland Death Fest stepped in and organised a similar festival in the enlarged 013 venue. 3 days of death metal bands in three halls. I skipped the first couple of days as there was only one or two bands each that I liked. However the […]
