My childhood heroes Children of Bodom have released their tenth studio album, and even though I don’t listen to the band that often anymore, for the sake of nostalgia I of course just hád to review it. I gave their previous album ‘I Worship Chaos’, which got released in 2015, a pretty high rating, because […]

They bring Subterranean Masquerade and Systemhouse33 as support acts to rock the house. When we entered the venue, Systemhouse32 was already tearing the place down. The floor was vibrating from the sounds, […]

02-04-2019 Tivoli De Helling Utrecht On the last day of their tour, Cellar Darling was to be found in the small “De Helling” venue in Utrecht, The Netherlands. We were lucky enough to be part of that evening. Recently, Cellar Darling released their second album, more of a concept album named The Spell. In that […]
KAMPFAR: Battling with snakes
After two years of silence, Norwegian black metallers Kampfar return to the stage. Frontman Dolk sheds some light on the creation of ‘Ofidians Manifest’ and speaks about overcoming a dark period, battling slithering demons and reconnecting to people. About two years ago, Kampfar took an indefinite break and now you are releasing a new album. […]
Cirith Gorgor – Sovereign
Ever since the middle of the nineties Cirith Gorgor has led a crusade with its aggressive yet melodic terror. There are a lot of black metal bands around but this band manages to enthrall me with their superb quality for a long, long time. I am grateful this band is still around and has gained […]
Murg – Strävan
I have never heard of Murg before. And that’s a pity because their third offspring made quite an impression on me. Hailing from Sweden this band manages to offer an intriguing sound were aggression and atmosphere go hand in hand. Maybe band is the wrong word because this band consists of two members: Varghel and […]
Report: Sòlstafir – Utrecht
Utrecht – 13th of March 2019 Sometimes bands take a little bit of extra effort to deliver something special. Sòlstafir brought a string quartet to bring their already melodic music that extra dimension. There was no band as support act, so people had to be in time not to miss anything. Singing along isn’t easy […]

After a successful acoustic tour through Finland, they prolong this through Europe. Not in small cozy venues, no, today they play in the big Effenaar in Eindhoven. Touring […]
Report: Kamelot + support, Nijmegen
The Netherlands has always been a special place to visit for Kamelot. That’s why they decided to record their newest DVD in Amsterdam. While we wait for that release, Kamelot is back for two concerts. We attended the one in a place they have not visited before, Doornroosje in Nijmegen. As support they brought Visions […]
Numenorean – Adore
Canadian post-black metal entourage Numenorean left a deep and long lasting impression with their 2016 debut release Home. In the crowded genre of (depressive) post-black, they differentiated themselves with a record that stuck, hooked and was there to stay. Instead of sinking into the quagmire of mediocre ‘music by the mile’ that post-black can be(come), […]
