Concerts 2016
Report: Kampfar, Vreid
It’s a Wednesday night after work. You have the choice of going home and trying to relax with a beer, or.. emptying your head with some sinister black metal tunes from the north! For a couple of us, the decision was easy, so we headed down to Eindhoven to catch the Profane Solstice of the […]
Tarja + Support in Hengelo
In the eastern part of our small country, in the town named Hengelo, a singer was scheduled to perform who is most known from her role in a major band. Maybe this was the reason why this was advertised as Tarja (Nightwish). There were already people lining up before the doors were open and as […]
Show report: Sonata Arctica and Twilight Force

Korpiklaani, Moonsorrow & Heidevolk in Amsterdam
On a very sunny Sunday afternoon, we, and a few hundred other metal fans, gathered in front of the Melkweg in Amsterdam for a Finnish Folk Metal Mafia Show with Korpiklaani and Moonsorrow, and for this show our Dutch support: Heidevolk. It was one of the first shows of this tour and although it wasn’t […]
Showreport: Van Canto, Grailknights and End of the Dream
Van Canto has just released their concept album “Voices of Fire”. To bring the album to the attention, they came to Tilburg for a show, bringing Grailknights and our own End of the Dream along.. Read all!
Report: Avantasia – Oberhausen
Since Avantasia normally isn’t a touring band because of all the difficulties involved, we at Metal-Exposure grasped our chance when they were performing just over the Dutch border in the German city of Oberhausen. In a venue that holds 3500 people, this sure would be one hell of a party. Read the full report here!
