For almost ten years now, your metal-exposure crew is visiting Party San Open Air and one thing we can say for sure: it’s an festival of extremes. By that we don’t only mean the music, since Party San is known for having a billing that consists of the heavier kind of metal styles there is, […]

Kwade Droes – De Duivel En Zijn Gore Oude Kankermoer
For Dutch people, the band name Kwade Droes (an infectious disease for horse, which can be transmitted to humans: glanders) and the album title ‘De Duivel En Zijn Gore Oude Kankermoer‘ (freely translated – and unfortunately the bland translation doesn’t cover the actual filthyness of the title – The Devil and his Stale, Old Cancerous […]
Obscura – Diluvium
Current relationship status with prog/tech death metal: it’s complicated. Usually my death metal preference is a bit straightforward (think Nile, Suffocation and more) I’ve always steered clear of the proggy/tech death metal (so yes, this is a noob review).

Asgrauw – Gronspech
Asgrauw – Gronspech Despite the hot temperature outside, it’s cold and freezing inside my living room. Why? Because the third full length “Gronspech” of Asgrauw is on my media player right now. Raw, melodic and atmospheric black metal is being offered on this album (release July 17th). Sang in Dutch and Groesbeek (a small town […]

The 23rd of June, Death landed in an otherwise quiet town in the North of the Netherlands: Drachten. Death was there to party to some quality tunes old and new, to kick around some dust ‘n shoulders and have a beer or two in the process. During Death over Drachten, he saw bands such as […]

This year the fourth edition will be taking place in the south of Norway, and there is a very good reason why we from Metal Exposure will be making the long trip to the North again…and […]
