With Cobra the Impaler, Modder and Bloed, we got 3 top acts from the Belgian underground, sludge and post-metal to demolish Club Wintercircus in Ghent!
The last stop, and no holding back. Cradle of Filth closed their “Splintered in Winter Tour” in Antwerp, with a crushing set from special guests and death metal legends Suffocation and a striking Belgian debut by the Australian misfits of Mélancolia.
Nothing More tore through Trix in Antwerp on November 30 during the “Carnal Nature World Tour”, following strong sets from Solence, Catch Your Breath and Ankor. Barefoot, shirtless, and in full command, Jonny Hawkins led a set packed with crowd interaction and controlled chaos.
BTL, previously known as beyond the labyrinth have a new album out since they reinvented themselves: ‘The Game’, and came to present the new chapter with a show at The Crossover Music Pub in Ghent, Belgium. Support came from Tannen Baines Tree.
By now, the Leprous European Tour 2025 came to an end… Luckily we got to attend one of their last shows of this tour at Trix in Antwerp! And with the support of the Nordic folk rock magicians of Gåte and Finnish promises Royal Sorrow, it was a great night for lovers of exceptional music!
Electric Callboy toured through Europe with the massive “TANZNEID world tour” and support from Bury Tomorrow and Wargasm. We caught up with them at their show at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium!
On the first part of their ‘Ascension of Europe’ tour, Paradise Lost made a stop in Antwerp, bringing along Messa and Lacrimas Profundere for a night of doom and gloom. Of course we were there!

Gig Reports
At the end of last year, The Offspring was traveling through Europe with special guests Simple Plan on their “Supercharged Worldwide in ’25 tour” and one of our reporters was at the stop at the ING Arena in Brussels, Belgium and was blown away with yet another great show! If you somehow missed them in Belgium, or want to see them again, The Offspring will play at Graspop 2026! So you there!
The Belgian post-metal scene is thriving, and this night proved it. BRUIT≤ pulled the crowd into a dark, cinematic world, while Psychonaut returned home stronger than ever, commanding a sold-out venue with ease and emotion.
Electric Callboy keeps on growing and showed it off on the European leg of the “Tanzneid World Tour” with an epic show full of hits and special moments! And with the support of metalcore superstars Bury Tomorrow and alt-metal upstarts Wargasm, it was a great night showing the future of further popularizing heavy music!
We caught up with the “Tourslayer Europe 2025” tour back in October at Trix in Antwerp, Belgium for a great power metal evening was by the hands of Angus McSix, Orden Ogan and Wind Rose!
At the beginning of this month, Belgian metal supergroup Coffin Feeder set up shop in the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels and nearly destroyed the Club room, with the help of local support from Horrible!
Luna Kills has been showing off their new album ‘Deathmatch’ to Europe, and we caught them at their stop in Belgium, at Club Hell in Diest, with the support of Dutch alt-metal upstarts Pacemaker!
Tonight the spice did flow at the Casino in Sint-Niklaas. Musical spice that is, as the homegrown dronesters of Pothamus and the Scottish space guild from DVNE took us on an intergalactic trip to the most supermassive of black holes. Ready for liftoff. Ignition, five, four , three , two , one…
Blood Incantation’s latest album ‘Absolute Elsewhere’ has been heralded by many as the greatest extreme metal record of 2024. And quite justly so. Therefore, one should not pass up the opportunity to witness their cosmic magic with your own eyes and ears. Unsurprisingly, the gig at the Trix has been sold out for months already. With other acts Black Curse, Concrete Winds and Minami Deutsch it was truly an amazing night!
Orbit Culture, Bullet for my Valentine and Trivium gave it all at the Lotto Arena stop in Antwerp, Belgium on “The Poisoned Ascendancy tour”! A trip down memory lane and a lot of interaction between the crowd and the bands, where the 2 co-headliners were celebrating their breakthrough albums by playing them in full! Thanks to FKP Scorpio Belgium for welcoming us!
Papa Roach’s Rise of the Roach Tour made a stop in Brussels to set Forest National on fire together with the help of support act Wage War.
