Of the big three of Teutonic Thrash bands, I have always preferred Sodom and Kreator and never cared that much for Destruction. Even though their first couple of albums are actually quite good, none of their songs really made the impression that Nuclear Winter, Sodomy and Lost, Pleasure to Kill or Flag of Hate did. […]

Vallenfyre @ Baroeg, 7 October 2014
Yep I saw Vallenfyre two days ago, but after the tour with Bolt Thrower, where they only played about half the dates, they continue on a headlining tour of their own. And since it is not too far away, worth to check them out again. The opening band was the Dutch Massive Assault who play […]
Bolt Thrower @ Muziekodroom, Hasselt, 5 October 2014
All or nearly all gigs of The Overture of War tour by Bolt Thrower were sold out entire. I recently saw them at the Baroeg Open Air festival, but that gig wasn’t all that on par with the usual Bolt Thrower experience. Although that wasn’t all their fault really. Anyway, I much prefer club gigs […]
Bolt Thrower @ Baroeg Open Air 2014, 20 September 2014
This was actually the first installment of Baroeg Open Air I attended. Usually the line-up is not very interesting. And frankly this years lineup constisted of even less metal than before. But headlining was Bolt Thrower was headlining, so that of course means I had to go. I had wanted to see De Raggende Manne […]
Cryptopsy @ Het Paard, Den Haag, 4 September 2014
I’ve been living in the The Hague (Den Haag) area now for some 15 years and this is only the second gig in The Hague I go to (see also this post http://www.kmachine.nl/blog/?p=66). So to say that metal is alive and kicking in here is a blantant lie. A long time ago Het Paard was […]
Obituary @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 27 July 2014
On this warm summer day, the Baroeg had organised an interesting death metal package, around an Obituary summer festival tour. And I wasn’t the only one to appreciate this packages as the venue was sold out days before it started. And as I about to enter the venue, none other than Martin Van Drunen was […]
Slayer @ 013 Tilburg, 3 July 2014
For all the different reasons I had never seen Slayer live. Last time I wanted to check them out, in 2010, they cancelled last minute (literally). Never mind. So I drove over to Tilburg on a bright and sunny Thursday, to get stuck in a traffic jam for at least half an hour after some […]

Dordrecht Doom IV, 10 May 2014, Popcentrale Dordrecht
Already the forth installment of this small indoor doom metal fest in Dordrecht. This years episode has actually a very interesting line-up. I missed the first two bands, Doomed and Abysmal Darkening. The first band I saw was the Belgian Monads, who play funeral doom that vaguely reminded me of the mighty Esoteric during some […]
Neurotic Death Fest 2014, Day 3, 4 May 2014
I skipped the second day of this festival, as it featured only few bands I actually knew. Of which I have seen Suffocation quite a few times, Lock Up appeared only a month or two ago in Rotterdam, so the only band for which I actually would have to drive to Tilburg would be Brutal […]
