It’s been nearly 15 years since I went to a gig in Leiden; I don’t think there has been much metal ever since. However now, a new venue named Gebr. Nobel opened its doors in 2014. And they organised a neat festival on this Sunday of the pentecost. I rode on my bike to Leiden […]

Dordrecht Doom Day @ Popcentrale Dordrecht, 16 May 2015
This is already the fifth installment of this small, indoor doom festival. The bill wasn’t all that interesting, with one major exception: The Chilean band Capilla Ardiente who did a short tour through Europe. I don’t expect them to return again soon, so that was a strong incentive to go. I skipped the first couple […]
Pungent Stench @ Baroeg, 3 May 2015
Pungent Stench, or as advertised Martin Schirenc Plays Pungent Stench, is one of the classic European death metal bands. The broke up a few times, and now only Martin is left as an original member. And due to some legal dispute he can’t use the name Pungent Stench, but never mind, it is as Pungent […]
Rotting Christ @ Baroeg, 5 April 2015
In the early 1990s Rotting Christ were one of the first Greek black metal bands. Their debut album Thy Mighty Contract from 1993 is awesome. And I was fortunate enough to see them live on the legendary Fuck Christ tour with Blasphemy and Immortal, where they promoted that album. There actually is a low quality […]
Cryptopsy @ Baroeg, 15 February 2015
Cryptopsy has been doing a lot of touring lately and this would be the second tour that visited Europe is half a year. I saw them play in The Hague that time. This time they dropped by the Baroeg in Rotterdam. They brought no supports on this tour so the venue arranged some bands themselves […]
Amorphis @ 013, Tilburg, 29 December 2014
Amorphis is a band I haven’t followed for many years. Elegy was the last album I actively listen to. And I never went to any of their gigs, even though they still play a few older songs in their set. But they now announced a short tour to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the […]
Dead Congregation, Soulburn @ Baroeg, 28 December 2014
It is a great idea to organise a couple of gigs during the days between Yule and new year. The Greek Dead congregation was touring in Europe and Baroeg made it a quite bit more interesting by adding a few bands on this metal matinee. So I scraped a thick layer of ice off my […]
At The Gates @ Trix, Antwerpen, 18 December 2014
It was either going to Antwerpen or to the Eindhoven Metal Meeting, and considering I didn’t care much for the line-up in Eindhoven, the entrance fee is much lower, and it is actually closer by too, I opted to go to Antwerpen. Traffic proofed to be quite light, despite the bad weather and rush hour, […]
Kreator @ 013, Tilburg, 4 December 2014
Kreator had been touring to support their Phantom Antichrist album in the autumn of 2012. Then they visited the Effenaar in Eindhoven. Now two years later, they returned to play in 013 Tilburg again, with no less than three support acts. And on a Thursday that means it starts at 17.40. It seems the metal […]
Rotterdam Death Fest, Baroeg, Rotterdam, 22 November 2014
Rotterdam death fest return to the Baroeg this year for two days of death metal. The first day was reserved more for technical, modern death metal, the second day aimed more at old school death metal. For me there was only one major attraction really, the New Zealand trio that go by the name Ulcerate. […]
