In the hazy mist of this October night two overlords of doom emerged from the abyss itself to invoke Satan and bring forth the end at the Casino in Sint Niklaas: Dopelord and Monolord.
This night at the DVG would be a night of cavernous, rotten old school death metal with US legends Funebrarum alongside Finnish filth mongers Morbific.
We caught the Avatar “In the Airwaves tour” at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels with the support from Alien Weaponry and Witch Club Satan. Sometimes these shows are just a work of art, and a nice reminder that rock and metal shows are for everyone and every age.
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…

From Heriot’s genre-bending heaviness to Converge’s explosive hardcore chaos, Kavka Zappa witnessed one hell of a night.

In support of the ‘World Maker’ album release, we went to see Psychonaut with the support of Bloed at Cactus Club in Brugge, Belgium as part of the “Bruges Is Doomed” concerts!

Thanks to Hardlife Promotion for setting this up!
