After almost 30 years of rocking Flemish stages, the legendary Clement Peerens Explosition is calling it quits or as they would say “kuist zijn schup af”. A sad loss for Belgian music, but we were there to capture them going out with a blast at one of their farewell shows at De Roma in Antwerp.

After crushing all big stages in Belgium and abroad, this is the second to last show of Rhea before they take a break performing live for at least a year. They made one hell of a rock party with the biggest mosh pits VIERNULVIER has had since a long time and support from The RG’s!

Gig Reports
DOK Brewing Co.’s latest craft beer ‘Pro-Pale’is a tribute to Pro-Pain’s Gary Meskil. What better way to celebrate it with, than a set by the NYHC legends?
Godsmack is back! This time with support from Like A Storm. Despite a few sound issues everybody had a lovely rockin’ night.
Twenty years. Two decades. Almost an entire generation. That’s how long long the Beglian rockers of Triggerfinger have been around. That calls for a celebration, right?
A fun evening of brutality, slam and an exclusive fly-in headliner show of tech death outfit Archspire!
Satanic Surfers have a special kind of bond with Belgium, or rather with the Belgium punk rock family. Their very first gig in Belgium was in Ostend actually and they were more than happy to be back. Even while it was in a tiny basement, no fucks were given this evening.
From the groove djenty melodic metalcore of Jinjer to the more thrashy sound of Soilwork , Amorphis made this evening unforgettable

Blood Red Throne came, drank, and conquered. A great night with some solid local death metal bands supporting a fantastic headliner.
For the tenth edition of the Darken the Moon Festival, the organization came up with a lineup that no self-respecting fan of doom metal should want to pass up. Even on a lazy Sunday afternoon in autumn.
