The second day in a row for me to go to the Baroeg. This time it was Varathron who were playing there. Their gig a year ago was quite good and their debut album is one of the cult classics of Hellenic Black metal. So I was looking forward to seeing them play again. There […]
Possessed @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 7 June 2019
One of the oldest death metal bands around just released a new album after more than 30 years. To support the album, Possessed are on a short tour through Europe. One of the gigs was in the very hot and full Baroeg venue. The only support slot was for Norwegian band Nordjevel. A band I […]
De Raggende Manne @ Kaderock, The Hague, 1 June 2019
After finishing their april tour for the new album, De Raggende Manne did a few festival appearances. Of which Kaderock, organised by Musicon was one. I didn’t really care much for the other bands so I took my bike to go there just to see De Manne. They had a few guest appearances this time […]
Officium Triste, Baroeg, Rotterdam, 19 May 2019
Over the years, I have seen Officium Triste quite a few times. Quite solid doom death metal. They have now been around 25 years, albeit they broke up for a small period after the first album. An anniversary gig was scheduled in the Baroeg, where they have played very often. The opening act was Kurb […]
Inquisitor, Musicon, The Hague, 17 May 2019
Under the banner of Thrashing Madness II, an evening of thrash metal was organised in the club Musicon in The Hague. Two Dutch bands I didn’t know opened before Inquisitor. The last time I had seen that band had been nearly 25 years ago and I think it was the third or fourth gig I […]
Netherlands Death Fest 2019, 013, Tilburg, 5 May 2019
This years line up wasn’t really interesting, except for the final day, for me there was one must-see band, namely Intestine Baalism. There were a couple of other bands I like to see, too. So I skipped the first two days and only went the Sunday. The first band I saw were the Belgian Possession […]
Morbid Fest @ De Gigant, Apeldoorn, 3 May 2019
Four bands toured under the banner of Morbid Fest headlined by I Am Morbid, the Morbid Angel spin off by David Vincent. I had never been to this venue, as it apparently doesn’t organise many metal gigs. Having a little trouble finding the entrance and some difficulties with scanning the tickets on mobile phones, it […]
De Raggende Manne @Paard, Den Haag, 13 April 2019
After many, many years the legendary band De Raggende Manne have released a new album. And a tour through the Netherlands was planned. Shortly before the start of the tour, singer Bob Fosko was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Nevertheless they opted to do the tour and plan Bob’s treatments to effect the tour as little […]
Suffocation, Baroeg, Rotterdam, 10 April 2019
Suffocation is touring in Europe again, this time with a varied package of mostly established names. Hence the club was quite full, and I guess sold-out. I had missed the opening band Darkrise due to the early start and traffic. Nordjevel was the first band I saw. This Norwegian group plays black metal. Not entirely […]
Pestilence @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 24 March 2019
Afer three earlier gigs this month featuring a couple of oldest Dutch death metal bands, including Ceremony, Acrostichon and Thanatos, this Sunday afternoon gig was headlined by none other than Pestilence with their Reduced to Ashes tour, for which they would play the entire Consuming Impulse record. Even though Pestilence may be the biggest name […]
