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 […]
Paradise Lost @ Bibelot, Dordrecht, 8 November 2013
I actually wanted to go to Carcass and Hell in Tilburg these evening but unfortunately it was sold out before I got tickets, so I went to Paradise Lost in stead. They were celebrating their 25 years of existence with this tour. The package consisted of two more bands. First of all there was Katatonia. […]
Hail of Bullets @ Baroeg, 2 November 2013
The old school death metallers of Hail Of Bullets don’t play that many club shows. But now with a brand new album under their belt, they planned a release show in the Baroeg in Rotterdam – the town where two of their members come from. There were two Dutch support slots added to the gig. […]
Dissect @ Popcentrale, Dordrecht, 25 October 2013
Apparently this was the first “metal night” at the new Popcentrale in Dordrecht. Two Dutch metal bands from a time long ago and that had reformed were playing. Particularly Dissect interested me a lot as I really like their debut album Swallow Swouming Mass. And I never had a chance to see them.I also skipped […]
Grave @ Baroeg, 6 October 2013
The second gig in the same weekend for me. This one on an autumn Sunday afternoon. Two tours were combined to one gig, a short tour by Grave and a tour by Necros Christos. And the Baroeg added an additional support act as well. That support was none other than Anthropomorphia. A cult act from […]
Psycroptic @ Baroeg, 4 October 2013
Finally, after seeing them as a support act a few times, a headlining show of the Tasmanian Psycroptic. Fortunately guitarist Joe Haley had recovered from his epileptic seizure or something like that, so the band didn’t have to play with a tape recording of the guitars, like they did on the first couple of gigs […]
Ahab and Mourning Beloveth @ Willemeen, Arnhem, 27 September 2013
Ahab and Mourning Beloveth are doing a very short tour through the low lands with one stop in the Netherlands. I was a little in doubt whether to go or not, since I don’t see them as really good live bands. But in the end I decided to go to Arnhem anyway. I missed most […]
