Amorphis is a band I haven’t followed for many years. Elegy was the last album I actively listen to. And I never went to any of their gigs, even though they still play a few older songs in their set. But they now announced a short tour to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the […]

Dead Congregation, Soulburn @ Baroeg, 28 December 2014
It is a great idea to organise a couple of gigs during the days between Yule and new year. The Greek Dead congregation was touring in Europe and Baroeg made it a quite bit more interesting by adding a few bands on this metal matinee. So I scraped a thick layer of ice off my […]
At The Gates @ Trix, Antwerpen, 18 December 2014
It was either going to Antwerpen or to the Eindhoven Metal Meeting, and considering I didn’t care much for the line-up in Eindhoven, the entrance fee is much lower, and it is actually closer by too, I opted to go to Antwerpen. Traffic proofed to be quite light, despite the bad weather and rush hour, […]
Kreator @ 013, Tilburg, 4 December 2014
Kreator had been touring to support their Phantom Antichrist album in the autumn of 2012. Then they visited the Effenaar in Eindhoven. Now two years later, they returned to play in 013 Tilburg again, with no less than three support acts. And on a Thursday that means it starts at 17.40. It seems the metal […]
What the honeypot teaches about SSH passwords…
A while back I decided that I would put up a SSH honeypot again. I had played a bit with Kojoney a couple of years ago. But I ran into kippo which I installed on a raspberry pi; I fixed the firewall setting to map port 22 to my neat little honeypot. And as I […]
Rotterdam Death Fest, Baroeg, Rotterdam, 22 November 2014
Rotterdam death fest return to the Baroeg this year for two days of death metal. The first day was reserved more for technical, modern death metal, the second day aimed more at old school death metal. For me there was only one major attraction really, the New Zealand trio that go by the name Ulcerate. […]
Mourning Dawn @ Little Devil, 21 November 2014
Ridden with Disease (okay a bit of a cold), I drove to Tilburg to watch Mourning Dawn. A French doom metal band that doesn’t play live a whole lot. This was their only Dutch gig since five years. As this started at half past nine, it was a pretty smooth ride to Tilburg with no […]
Scream Bloody Scum III, Scum, Katwijk, 15 November 2014
This third installment of the Scream Bloody Scum festival was the first I attended. Previous festivals didn’t have a really interesting line-up even though it is quite nearby. This year the festival had a more interesting line-up with only Dutch bands though. When I stepped out the car – yeah parking space is right in […]
Dutch Doom Day 2014 – Day 1, 31 October 2014, Baroeg
Much like last year the line-up of the Dutch Doom Day wasn’t very interesting, generally with too much classic doom, sludge, stoner, etc. Many of which I had never heard. Except that the festival was extended to 3 days instead and the first day has two interesting bands. So I only visited the that day. […]
