It’s been nearly six years since I had been in this venue called Iduna. But to see Destruction on this tour it would have to be either this or a day earlier in Rijssen, both mostly equally far away from where I live. Anyway the venue has a brand new, much larger hall than last […]
Artillery @ Pogo, Gorichem, 25 September 2016
This is the second gig in this weekend that I went, although a little closer to home. Artillery’s third album By Inheritance is one of my favourite thrash metal albums ever. Unfortunately, none of their later albums even manage to come close. They are on a co-headlining tour with Mystic Prophecy (I had never even […]
Dark Millennium @ JKC Nirwana, Dronten, 24 September 2016
Dark Millennium are a progressive Death metal bands from Germany that released 2 albums in the early 1990s. Especially the first album is very good and quite original. They broke up quickly after the release of the second album, before I got a chance to see them live. Now some 23 years later they did […]
Onslaught @ Baroeg, 18 September 2016
The Force is the second album by the UK thrash veterans Onslaught. It was released in 1986, and hence this year it is thirty years old. The lads thought it a good idea to tour in celebration of this anniversary. They brought no less than four bands with them and played in the Baroeg on […]
Flotsam & Jetsam @ Musicon, The Hague, 13 August 2016
Even though I have been living in the Hague area for more than a decade and a half, I never went to the club named Musicon although I rode passed it on my bicycle numerous times. The American thrash metal act Flotsam & Jetsam played a gig there as part of a 3-day drum clinic […]
Entrails @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 26 june 2016
Entrails is one of the many Swedeath bands that started in the early 1990s. They recorded some demos, but never released them and vanished from the scene rather unnoticed in 1998. Some ten years later the band was restarted by guitarist Jimmy and they recorded some demos. 8 years later they released 4 albums and […]
Solstice @ Gebr. de Nobel, Leiden, 28 May 2016
There are two active Solstices around, both having released several albums. That might incur some confusion. One is a classic doom band from the UK. However the band now touring Europe is the US death / thrash combo. And with them they brought to more bands. The opening act of the evening is the Italian […]
Marduk and Immolation @ Baroeg, 13 May 2016
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 […]
