Cynic were, as they said themselves, too late to book for many summer festivals, so they ended up doing 9 gigs in Europe in a month’s time and took the rest of the days of travelling. They did one gig in the Netherlands though and this took place in Amstelveen in the club P60. A […]
DelftDoom @ Floratheater, Delft, 10 October 2009
So the short history of this small festival is a bit funny. First there was supposed to be DelftDoom, but it was cancelled. Then there was BredaDoom but it turned out the venue got a double booking. So it was relocated to… Delft again, and so now we do have a DelftDoom. In the mean […]
Dutch Doom Day 8 day 1 , Baroeg, Rotterdam, 24 October 2009
This weekend there was another instalment – the eighth to be exact – of the annual doom metal festival Dutch Doom Day, held in Baroeg, Rotterdam. Once again, 2 days of doom. Nevertheless I decided to go only the first day. Not only because I had some other things to do, but mainly because the […]
Swallow The Sun @ Baroeg, 27 november 2009
The Finnish lads from Swallowed the Sun had just released a new album and so scheduled a tour which started in Rotterdam. So off I went through the rain and wind and somewhat ill towards Rotterdam. The club turned out to be pretty full. Swallow the Sun brought two Finnish bands as supporting acts. The […]
Gama Bomb, 18 Dec 2009 @ Baroeg Rotterdam
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) […]
