The 11th instance of the Neuratic death Fest started on Friday May 2 18.00 , so I travelled through rush hour to Tilburg for ten bands to appear. The opening band of the festival was the old school death metal band Deceased from the US, playing in the large hall. I never followed them much […]

Darken the Moon V – Magasin 4, Brussels
On this Saturday, I travelled all the way to Brussels, Belgium, to attend a small festival, called Darken the Moon which was held for the fifth time, but it was the first one I attended. This tour combinded the Esoteric tour with three more bands. And as there was no Dutch date to this tour […]
Immolation @ Baroeg, 2 February 2014
The second gig this weekend, a Sunday Metal Matinee at the Baroeg. After some grind on the Friday, Immolation was back in Europe to play some technical death metal. The opening band was the young French band Chabtan. I wasn’t familiar with them and apparently they have released only one EP. It sounded okay, really. […]
Lock Up @ Baroeg, 31 January 2014
The first gig of the new year for me, is immediately a very interesting one, namely the sort of international all stars grind band Lock Up. Once started by the late Jesse Pintado to play grind music more in the vein of Terrorizer. The first band however was a local band, named Rectal Smegma. It […]

De Raggende Manne @ 013 Tilburg, 12 December 2013
De Raggende Manne are a curious, yet legendary (at least in the Netherlands), genre-defying group active mostly in the 1990s and broke up in 1999, somehow quite popular under metalheads too. All of a sudden they did a reunion gig earlier this year. And now in the last month of this year another two. This […]
Hamferð, 23 November 2013 @ Flora Theater, Delft
There are only a handful of bands in the Faroe Islands. One of those bands Hamferð, a doom metal band, stylistically similar to Swallow the Sun. This Saturday evening was the first stop on a European tour to support their newly released album Evst. They didn’t bring any support acts, so this show was put […]
Paradise Lost @ Bibelot, Dordrecht, 8 November 2013
I actually wanted to go to Carcass and Hell in Tilburg these evening but unfortunately it was sold out before I got tickets, so I went to Paradise Lost in stead. They were celebrating their 25 years of existence with this tour. The package consisted of two more bands. First of all there was Katatonia. […]
Hail of Bullets @ Baroeg, 2 November 2013
The old school death metallers of Hail Of Bullets don’t play that many club shows. But now with a brand new album under their belt, they planned a release show in the Baroeg in Rotterdam – the town where two of their members come from. There were two Dutch support slots added to the gig. […]
Dissect @ Popcentrale, Dordrecht, 25 October 2013
Apparently this was the first “metal night” at the new Popcentrale in Dordrecht. Two Dutch metal bands from a time long ago and that had reformed were playing. Particularly Dissect interested me a lot as I really like their debut album Swallow Swouming Mass. And I never had a chance to see them.I also skipped […]
