Napalm Death have been doing a lot of touring the last couple of years, and for this tour they did only one gig in the Netherlands, this time again in the Patronaat in Haarlem. They brought no less than 4 support acts on this Campaign for Musical Destruction tour. I missed the first band called […]
Dread Sovereign @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 21 February 2019
The first stop of the tour with Dread Sovereign was at the Baroeg in Rotterdam together with two other bands, whom I wasn’t all that interested in. Yet Dread Sovereign doesn’t play live very often so it was worth going to this gig nonetheless. Dread Sovereign were the opening band but were given a very […]
Destruction @ 013, Tilburg, 18 February 2020
The German thrash veterans of Destruction have a new album, which kind of escaped me entirely. So I hadn’t heard it at all. But they are doing a short tour to support that album under the Thrash Alliance flag with three more thrash metal bands. I missed the first band – Final Breath – entirely […]
Drachten Death Fest, 18 Januari 2020, Iduna, Drachten
The first gig for me in 2020 is an indoor festival with quite an interesting lineup. I had to drive all the way to Drachten to see it. And be because it started early and long drive, as well as that I had seen Mouflon before and didn’t care that much, I decided to skip […]
At The Gates, 20 December, 2019, 013 Tilburg
I missed At the Gates during their heydays in the 90s. They played in the same venue a year and a half ago at NDF. At that time, I was more interested in other bands and they didn’t make a lasting impression. So now they are back as headliner to promote their latest album I […]
Sacred Reich @ Gebr. De Nobel, Leiden, 6 December 2019
It had been quite a few years since I saw Sacred Reich live. But now they have a new album out and are touring Europe for it. And one of the gigs was even in the nearby Leiden. All the more reasons to go there. The only support act of the evening was Night Demon, […]
Immolation @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 23 November 2019
Immolation have been touring a lot the last couple of years. I think this is already the third tour they do for Atonement in Europe And they frequently appear in the Baroeg, which is very convenient for me as it is quite close by. And as they never let down it is interesting to go. […]
Dutch Doom Day 18, Baroeg Rotterdam 2 and 3 November 2019
Already the 18th installment of the Dutch Doom Day festival annually held in the Baroeg in Rotterdam. Even the the line-up wasn’t all that exciting, I decided to go both days never the less. Saturday, I skipped the first two bands as they were more in the direction of sludge metal which I don’t care […]
Annihilator, Podium Victorie, Alkmaar, 23 October 2019
Annihilator released a couple of quite good albums around 1990. Thrash metal that was quite technical, especially in the guitar parts. I never followed them much afterwards as they went more into groove metal style. During that time I never got to see them live, I did see them some time ago as a support […]
Memoriam @ Baroeg, Rotterdam, 29 September 2019
Memoriam have just released their third album in only three years, which is quite a feat. And they were doing a couple of gigs in Europe to promote the album. One of the gigs was in the Baroeg. The opening band was a local band called Warborn Waste. They play somewhat modern, yet melodic death […]
