On this Sunday no less than 7 bands performed in the Baroeg. The Morbidfest tour that got postponed several times, finally actually took place. Unfortunately Grave had forfeit their slot. I think Baroeg combined this tour with another of two doom / death bands. Hence it turned out to be a very varied package. The […]
Pungent Stench @ Metropool, Enschede, 9 April 2022
I used to live in Enschede some 20 years ago. At that time, the club Atak was in Enschede. The Neigbouring Hengelo had a club too, called Metropool. Things were simple these days. The old Atak got closed down, a new Atak was build – much larger. And if I’m not mistaken Metropool also got […]
Grave Miasma @ Baroeg, 28 March 2022
Two days after Thanatos I was in the Baroeg again. This time a short tour with 3 bands, playing quite different styles performed there. And 3 bands that don’t play all that much live around here. The bands were still soundchecking as I arrived, but started right on the scheduled time The first band was […]
Thanatos @ Baroeg, 26 March 2022
Thanatos is one of the oldest extreme metal bands that are still active in the world and the oldest in the Netherlands. In March of 2020 they had released their 7th album and a album release party was scheduled in the Baroeg. Then shit happened with lock-downs and the date got rescheduled several times. Eventually […]
Marduk @ 013, Tilburg, 16 November 2021
International tours are pretty rare these days, so any opportunity for catching a gig should be taken. Marduk had to postpone their 30 year anniversary tour for a year, but were at last playing Europe again. With three dates in the Netherlands, I picked the one in Tilburg, as it was logistically the easiest. Changes […]
Dutch Doom Day – Day 1 – 6 November 2021, Baroeg Rotterdam
After almost two years I went to a gig again. The Baroeg had the possibility to host the Dutch Doom Day once again, after last years cancellation. Entering a gig is a bit different, needs the corona pass and ID, as well as a ticket. I don’t think the reduced capacity of the venue was […]
Napalm Death @ Patronaat, Haarlem, 25 February 2020
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 […]
