The tradition at GrimmGent is for all photographers to set up our personal collection of our favourites. Always an illustrious collection, sometimes with shots that haven’t even been published here. This is my Tom Treuten selection of highlights in 2024.
They’re celebrating a quarter of a century long career this year, but last November we still caught Comeback Kid in Helsinki while on tour through Scandinavia and Europe! A real bombshell of a hardcore music night with amazing support bands Spaced and Prowl warming up the crowd!
No Cure shared a video for the track ‘Hang Me From the Bible Belt’ to celebrate the release of their concept EP ‘I Hope I Die Here’, released last Friday via SharpTone Records!
Belgian band Rotzak recently released their latest single ‘Sloom’, the first taste of their upcoming album ‘HEADRUSH’, set for release in February 2025 via Bearded Punk Records and Charon Collective!
40 years – what an anniversary for the Brazilian metal icons SEPULTURA. At the same time, it’s a ’40 Years Farewell Tour – Celebrating Life Through Death’. With 15 albums to their name, puts on a great show, supported by JESUS PIECE, OBITUARY and JINJER. What a goodbye for a legendary band, MHP Arena in Ludwigsburg, Germany literally boiled over!
French hardcore phenom Stinky shared their latest single/video ‘Under Care’, featuring no one less than Comeback Kid’s Andrew Neufeld, another track from their upcoming album ‘Solace’, set for release in 2025 via M-Theory Audio!
Alcatraz Festival is a strong and outspoken supporter of the local, Belgian music scene and shared over the weekend their “Under One Flag” selection of amazing Belgian bands for the 2025 edition of the event!
Hardcore quintet Stick To Your Guns announced their upcoming new album ‘Keep Planting Flowers’ to be released via SharpTone Records on January 10 and shared a video for the short and ferocious track ‘More Than A Witness’!
Our favorite modern grunge outfit Gouge Away is out and about right now in the middle of their North American tour in support of their latest album ‘Deep Sage’, but unleashed a music video for the standout track ‘Newtau’ right before they started touring!
In 10 days, Kortrijk in Belgium, will turn the heavy up again with Hell’s Balls Belgium, just like they do every summer with Alcatraz festival. In case you weren’t sure yet why you should go, here are what we think are valid reasons for you to be there…
What are you the most excited about of this year’s editions of the festival? Let us know in the comments!
