A CNN report about the cruise! Click! Be patient and tune back in after January 30th for some METAL!’

Review: Lacuna Coil – Dark Adrenaline
Dark and Adrenaline, two words you would not associate with Lacuna Coil after their latest album Shallow Life. After a major success of the album Comalies and the follow-up Karmacode, Lacuna Coil took a swing and sadly missed the ball completely with Shallow Life. It seems as if they want to make up for that album with a heavier and faster album in Dark Adrenaline. Inject me!
Report: Mortal Form, Dead Man’s Walk, Blazkowicz
To celebrate the new year in Arnhem, there is the annual party of Metal Kommando Arnhem.This year there is no improvisation jam or whatever but there are actually three bands playing. There was no presale for this but the party was sold out very quickly when the doors opened, many people couldn’t get in. It’s a good idea to organize the party at a place with a bigger capacity next year. Read all!

Report: Schaaffest!
Friday The 13th, a beautiful night for grindcore, goregrind and slamming brutal death metal. The gig was held in the pub area of the Willemeen in Arnhem. That is the smaller stage in the Willemeen. It was sold out so it was crowded. But there was a friendly atmosphere and everyone was in for dark humor and heavy music. Read all!

Report: Epica & ReVamp
12-01-12, Metropool – Hengelo – Epica and ReVamp, two our countries most well known female fronted metalbands teamed up for two gigs this month. In the very crowded venue of Metropool in Hengelo, the fans were glad to see Floor Jansen’s band back on stage again, and hear new songs from both bands! Check it out!

Review: Nephelium – Coils of Entropy
Nephelium was formed in 2001 in Dubai but they moved to Toronto, Canada, a number of years ago. The band is still unsigned but they will release this self-released full-length. From what I’ve heard, they deliver quality brutal death metal, so let’s check it out.Read all!
Review: Smohalla – Resilience
Smohalla is a quite new band from France. They started in 2006 by recording a demo, which was soon followed by the first EP. But now in October 2011 they released their first full length album: Resilience. Smohalla calls themselves a Post Black Metal band and probably won’t be the first choice of the typical Black Metal lover, but those really should consider to give it a try. Read all!
Review: Rêverie- Wandel
Wandel is the debut album from Rêverie, a bunch of young, German guys in a band. The band uses all elements in metal that are popular in their own country: lyrics in their native tongue. Perfect for singing along (if you’re from Germany ofcourse.) The music is described as ‘dark’ rock/metal. A meaningless term really. Read all!
