Yeah, I’m quite busy attending concerts lately. This time it was a small indoor doom metal festival in 013, Tilburg. In total seven bands took the stage. First up was the Finnish doom metal band (well all bands today are doom but hey…) Tyranny. I didn’t know them before. Playing a mere 2 songs in […]

Decapitated @ Baroeg 9 September 2005
Decapitated came to the Netherlands again on their European tour, bringing three other bands. The first band to hit the stage was UK’s DAM. It thought that DAM was an eighties band, but this was quite a join band. Nevertheless they were a quite mediocre death metal band and had a pretty terrible sound. Next […]
Opeth @ 013, September 2005
I only recently discovered Opeth – at least I knew them from the time Orchid came out, but didn’t think to much of it at that time. Now that they toured Europe to promote their new album “Ghost Reveries” it was time for me to check them out live. The support band for the night […]
Vital Remains @ Baroeg, October 2005
Vital Remains was touring Europe stating “That this tour is for the Fans and the Metal Underground!”. For that tour they brought several bands to play varying per venue. In Rotterdam Downscape was opening. And to put it bluntly this band sucked. I don’t who decided to put them on the bill. This German band […]
Dutch Dooms Day 4
A day after the Vital Remains concert, the Dutch Dooms Day numero 4 was scheduled. A few bands had dropped off the bill (including Funeral) and that resulted in the only reason for me to go being Mourning Beloveth who headlined this festival. So I had to wait a long time. At 18.00 “In Age […]
Dutch Doom Day 5 @ Baroeg – 28/29 October 2006
This weekend was reserved for an extensive portion of doom metal music. In the Baroeg in Rotterdam (Rotterdoom), the fifth installment of the Dutch Doom Day festival took place. Fourteen bands played over a period of approximately sixteen hours. The first day started at 17.00 sharp with the relatively new Dutch doom metal band Abysmal […]
Napalm Death @ Patronaat, Haarlem, 22 October 2006
On a drizzly Sunday evening, the Birmingham grinders of Napalm Death, played a gig in the city of Haarlem. The band has been around for 25 years already, so it is quite clear what to expect from them. This time they brought two support. To kick off the evening the Glasgow band Mendeed were brought […]
Mortician @ Bibelot, 6 November 2005
This last week I had to move all of a sudden, so I was dead tired, but nevertheless, this Sunday had two interesting things. First there was a metal market in the Baroeg, which I checked out and got me a couple of new CDs. Second, there was Mortician, supported by Ackercocke and Blood Red […]
X-mass fest 2005 – 013 Tilburg
It was again time for the annual X-mass fest tour; this time co-headlined by Hypocrisy and Exodus. 013 was reasonably full this year, but I strongly doubt it was sold out. The first band to play in the small hall was Before Silence, which I guess would be called progressive or so. Not really my […]
Bolt Thrower – Those still Loyal tour 2006 @ Patronaat, 5 February 2006
Bolt Thrower was touring Europe during the month of January and couple of days into February. The final show of this tour just as the first took place in the Netherlands. This gig was held in the Patronaat in Haarlem. A place I had never been before. I had been at the Rotterdam gig before, […]
