On this warm summer day, the Baroeg had organised an interesting death metal package, around an Obituary summer festival tour. And I wasn’t the only one to appreciate this packages as the venue was sold out days before it started. And as I about to enter the venue, none other than Martin Van Drunen was […]

Slayer @ 013 Tilburg, 3 July 2014
For all the different reasons I had never seen Slayer live. Last time I wanted to check them out, in 2010, they cancelled last minute (literally). Never mind. So I drove over to Tilburg on a bright and sunny Thursday, to get stuck in a traffic jam for at least half an hour after some […]
Dordrecht Doom IV, 10 May 2014, Popcentrale Dordrecht
Already the forth installment of this small indoor doom metal fest in Dordrecht. This years episode has actually a very interesting line-up. I missed the first two bands, Doomed and Abysmal Darkening. The first band I saw was the Belgian Monads, who play funeral doom that vaguely reminded me of the mighty Esoteric during some […]
Neurotic Death Fest 2014, Day 3, 4 May 2014
I skipped the second day of this festival, as it featured only few bands I actually knew. Of which I have seen Suffocation quite a few times, Lock Up appeared only a month or two ago in Rotterdam, so the only band for which I actually would have to drive to Tilburg would be Brutal […]
Neurotic Death Fest, Day 1, 013, Tilburg, 2 May 2014
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 […]
