The (North) Irish lads of Gama Bomb picked a rather wintry time to play around here. The cold (-10 C) and snow probably apparently kept many people home, as only some 50 showed up eventually. Gama Bomb didn’t bring any support acts so the club had arranged for two. Opening act was Nuestros Derechos of […]
Shining @ Baroeg, 7 March 2010
Less than a year later “experimental black metal” band Shining is back at the Baroeg. And a new bass-player, with album #6 under their belt, and album #7 to be released in a few months I guess they found it time to do some promotional gigs again. They brought two Norwegian black metal bands as […]
Esoteric @ W2, Den Bosch, 26 March 2010
Esoteric is doing a really short European tour (about 5 gigs) of which one is in the Netherlands. In the W2 in Den Bosch to be precise. A venue I had never been before. With the extreme doom metal that Esoteric plays it was not to be expected that this would even be close to […]
Flotsam and Jetsam @ Dynamo, Eindhoven, 2 april 2010
Since thrash metal is quite popular these days, not only are there lots of new bands appearing, but also many of the older bands are active again. Amongst those is Flotsam and Jetsam whose newer albums are quite forgettable but the first two (three) are genre classics. Local support came from the thrash metal band […]
Bolt Thrower @ Atak, Enschede, 29 April 2010
It’s has been more than 4 years since Bolt Thrower had done some serious touring apart from the 3 dates in 2008. So it was more than time for this British death metal band to tour Europe again (I know it has been more than 15 years ago they toured outside Europe). And traditionally, they […]
Heathen @ Baroeg, 14 May 2010
After a long hiatus, American thrashers Heathen had released a new album early this year and scheduled a tour in March. Unfortunately the tour was postponed till May and so it finally happened. They didn’t bring any supports themselves, so local support had to warm up the crowd. The thrashcore band Thrashcore Fanatics (or TCF) […]
Macabre @ 013 – 22 August 2010
The Murder Metal band Macabre is currently on a short summer festival tour through Europe while doing some club gigs in between those festivals. One of these gigs took place in the small hall of the 013 venue. As they didn’t bring any support acts themselves, two (more or less) local bands were added. The […]
Evildead @ Baroeg, 8 October 2010
Like so many bands from the past, Californian Evildead have reformed since a few years. And now they are finally on the European continent for a few gigs. So I went to this Thursday evening gig in the Baroeg. The opening support slot was for a Belgian band called Powerstroke. I had never even heard […]
Utrecht Doom 2010, 10 October 2010 @ DB’s Utrecht
After Breda Doom and Delft Doom, Utrecht now hosted this festival on the rather small stage of the rehearsal studio DB’s. Unfortunately there weren’t all that many people. Even though there are many doom bands around, there seem to be few fans as I guess about 50-60 people showed up to see the 8 bands. […]
Napalm Death @ Iduna, Drachten, 7 November 2010
Napalm Death had a new album out for a while, but hadn’t done a decent club tour as far as I know in Europe. So it was time to make that up. The toured got the name “Campaign For Musical Destruction Tour 2010” with two stops in the Netherlands, 7 November being the first gig […]
