After a few announcement of a new European tour by Atheist that got cancelled, this time it really happened as a co-headliner tour with Cryptopsy under the name Unquestionable Blasphemy tour. Last time I saw Atheist was 2009, so nearly 15 years ago. It was about time though. Maybe a venue like Fluor was a […]

Drachten Death Fest 2024, 10 February 2024, Induna, Drachten
I think this was the third instalment of this festival that I went to, even though it is not that close by it is often worth the drive. This year had a longer bill that the previous years as they opted to use too halls for gigs. Unfortunately there were two cancellations shortly announced before […]
Officium Triste, Baroeg Rotterdam, 17 November 2023
Under the flag of Dutch Doom Day presets, local doom legends Officium Triste organised a gig; pretty much their annual gig in the Baroeg. They arranged two additional bands. The just-as-local Facade fast the first to hit the stage. Classified as doom / death but they have some more progressive elements in there as well […]
Cavalera @ 013, Tilburg, 15 November 2023
I never got to see Sepultura live when they were still a great thrash metal band. And I missed the tour they did a couple of years back where the Cavalera brothers played Beneath the Remains and Arise live. When they announced this new tour where they would play Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions material, […]
Paradise Lost, Primordial @ Tivoli, Utrecht, 15 October 2023
Under the name Ultima Ratio Fest four bands went on a European tour for two weeks, which ended in Utrecht, The Netherlands. They played at the same day Europe was headlining a gig in the same venue. So quite some rockers and metalheads in the building. Last time I saw Paradise Lost was in the […]
Flotsam and Jetsam @ Musicon, The Hague, 2 October 2023
It was 7 years ago when Flotsam And Jetsam played this same venue. They are kind of cult thrash band, whose first two albums are classic and very much have a style of their own. And the returned on this relatively hot autumn Monday to Musicon. The support act was from the Dutch thrash metal […]
Evildead @ Musicon, The Hague, 4 August 2023
Two days, two gigs doesn’t happen a lot these day. Another US band touring around some festival appearances. This time the re-united LA thrasher from Evildead. They brought one support act. The Belgian Powerstroke had the honours to be the opening band. Last time I saw Evildead, some 13 years ago, they also played with […]
I Am Morbid, Baroeg, Rotterdam, 3 August 2023
There are not that many bands touring these days, post-corona and with the high-inflation. During the festival season some bands play some club gigs in between festival occurrences. That was what I Am Morbid was doing. The club arranged some opening acts. The first band was the Dutch band Ecocide. They released one album some […]
Day 1 Graveland Festival, Hollandsche Veld, 26 May 2023
Graveland is now one of the three metal fest in the area of southern Drente in the Netherlands. Quite odd as it is one of the least inhabited provinces of the Netherlands. Anyway, this years edition was primarily interesting for the headliner of the Friday, namely Dismember. The Saturday was headlined by Paradise Lost, which […]
Napalm Death @ Victorie, Alkmaar, 21 May 2023
As a last minute addition to my gig schedule, I went to Alkmaar on this sunny Sunday to see Napalm Death once more. I think this was a gig that was added on short notice as I hadn’t seen it announced until a few days before the gig. And since I missed them on the […]
