Marduk and Immolation are touring together once again – the fourth time Ross said. I haven’t followed Marduk ever since the late 90s. But I like Immolation quite a bit and they are very solid live. They brought two more bands on this tour. I however missed the first band, Bio-Cancer that started playing at […]

Morgoth and Incantation @ Baroeg, 18 April 2016
Morgoth are a German, underrated death metal band from the nineties. Musically, they are much akin to the early Death and Pestilence sound, yet still with a ringing of their own. After great two EPs and a full-length they started to experiment a little on Odium, and concluded their career with the the terrible Feel […]
My Dying Bride @ 013 Tilburg, 7 April 2016
My Dying Bride is probably the most consistent of the three “big” doom death bands. Even though some albums are a little less inspired, they have remained quite true to their style. Unfortunately I had not been able to see them all that often, so a European tour is much welcomed, but even three gigs […]
Gorguts @ 013, 26 March 2016
Gorguts have just started of their tour to support an album (EP) that hasn’t been released yet. Maybe a bit odd, particularly as the album wasn’t on sale at the merchbooth either. But anyway, Gorguts is a very interesting band, Obscura is a ground breaking album. They brought no less than three other bands on this tour.
Suffocation @ De Helling, 13 March 2016
The mighty Suffocation is touring Europe again, with a new drummer again – Kevin Tally- and a new stand-in singer. They brought two supports on tour, but two more were playing on this day. I skipped those first two bands though, as it started early in the evening and I wanted to do different things. […]
Netherlands Death Fest, 013 Tilburg, 28 February 2016
Now that the Neurotic Death Fest discontinued, the organisation of Maryland Death Fest stepped in and organised a similar festival in the enlarged 013 venue. 3 days of death metal bands in three halls. I skipped the first couple of days as there was only one or two bands each that I liked. However the […]
Phlebotomized @ Popcentrale, Dordrecht, 20 February 2016
A couple of 1990s Dutch death metal bands teamed up for a gig at the talent stage in Dordrecht’s Popcentrale. Back then, there were many bands around in the Netherlands playing death metal of some sort. Many were actually really good, and only a few actually really got to make albums and do tours. Most […]
Ophis, Ataraxie @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 19 February 2016
Two veteran European doom death bands decided to team up and tour Europe together for a little more than a week and brought a Mexican band with them. The last stop of this tour was in the Baroeg in the town of Rotterdoom. The opening act Majestic Downfall were about to start as I entered […]
Tribulation @ Gebr Nobel, Leiden, 28 January 2016
The Swedish Tribulation is a bit of an odd band. Starting out as a more or less typical Swedish death metal band on their debut album, they moved in a far more progressive direction with their second album. Long songs, with a firm basis in death metal but with lots of lead guitar work going […]
Ceremony, Officium Triste, Kurb Saatus @ Get Rhythm, Ridderkerk, 23 January 2016
After some 20 years the cult Dutch death metal act Ceremony have resurfaced. This was the first time they played live again, as a sort of try-out. Coincidently, they shared a gig with the two supporting bands as well. Too bad the band Profane wasn’t added as well to complete the line-up of 1995. Kurb […]
