Another year wrapped up here at GRIMM filled with amazing shows and festivals. Before we set our sights on the year 2025, let’s dive back and look at my personal favorite captures from past year
Draconian was on tour to celebrate their 30th anniversary, and the last show of the tour was at the DVG Club in Kortrijk, Belgium. Where we caught them for an amazing show with support from Nailed to Obscurity and Fragment Soul!
After a hiatus year, Rockfest is back! New location, but also a rather action packed first batch of confirmed names for the 2025 edition with names like Muse, Judas Priest and Till Lindemann topping the bill!

We checked out the first day of the second edition of Hell’s Balls Belgium festival… With banging names like Triptykon, Primordial, Vltimas, the unofficial inclusion of the “Night Eternal tour” with Dark Tranquillity, Wolfheart and Moonspell, Carpathian Forest, Hellripper, Dead Head and The Monolith Deathcult, it was a true fest for any extreme metal fan!
Gothic metal outfit The Eternal revealed the new standalone single ‘Everlasting – MMXXIV’, an upgraded re-recording of their classic song ‘Everlasting’, out via Reigning Phoenix Music!

Tribulation’s sixth studio album “Sub Rosa in Æternum” is memorably catchy and equally haunting and perfectly fits in the gothic metal canon. Out via Century Media Records since November 1st, and comes recommended to fans of Moonspell and Type O Negative, or even more gothic rock/electro affiliated acts like Sisters of Mercy or Depeche Mode!

Kamelot’s “Awaken the World Tour 2024” stopped by the Trix venue in Antwerp, Belgium. And together with supporting acts Frozen Crown, Blackbriar and Ad Infinitum, they made the event a complete package of symphonic and power metal brilliance!
Norwegian gothic/doom sextet Funeral conveys a sonic requiem on their seventh studio album “Gospel of Bones” out via Season of Mist since October 18th.

Perfectly timed for the Halloween days, Gothminister released a new EP and a music video for the title track ‘Tonight’ via AFM Records! Catch them on their “We Come Alive” tour in 2025!
