With their latest and first full-length album “Big Trouble” released on 25 April, Coffin Feeder came all the way from Waregem to the AB club with full enthusiasm to share their latest music for the first time and explosive riffs to those not unfamiliar with genres such as grind, hardcore and death metal. Together with their opening act named Horrible that comes from Brussels and is perfectly in line with the main act in terms of genre and brutality, the evening will be filled with mayhem and next-level chaos.

In the beginning of the year, Eluveitie embarked on the first leg of their “ÀNV Rising” tour in Europe, taking with them their friends of Infected Rain as direct support and Ad Infinitum as the openers.
