Album Reviews
After their two demo’s and three EP’s, Slaughter Messiah brings their characteristic sophisticated, aggressive and black sound
The men of Dyscordia have to deal with psychological problems in their third album Delete/Rewrite. Do you want to know how they deal with it? Find out here.
Dead by Dawn Records keeps picking the cherries out of the death metal pie in the lowlands area. This time it are the young, hungry wolves of Moss upon the Skull who unleash their debut album ‘In Vengeful Reverence’ on vinyl and tape.
While I appreciate the guts it took to not stick to the formula that works for Enthroned, I don’t think this is a really good album although it certainly could be the stepping stone to an absolute classic.
Kludde is a water-demon that dwells along the borders of the Scheldt, a demonic beast that jumps on your back and doesn’t let go until you die from exhaustion. Actually, that is a pretty great description of the music too…
Thirteen years after releasing what was (and is) one of the best Belgian black metal albums of all time, Paragon Impure strikes back hard. Even though their formula is slightly altered, the more mature band still sounds as hateful as ever.
Black Mirrors holds the future of rock in their hands and are promising a bright future in that!
Splendidula’s Post Mortem is an album with a mind-boggling variety, from the mesmerizing chants to the earth-shattering heavy tones.
Are you ready for When Plagues Collide’s first full album? These Belgian deathcore inductees sure know how to make an fresh entrance in the genre.
Raw Peace’s new full length fires 100 bullets before the first one hits target… you thought you heard aggression before? THINK AGAIN!
Gig Reports
TesseracT came to lift us up to a different world with their progressive music, supported by Between The Buried And Me and Plini!
After it seemed we were getting no show at all, we ended up having a blast at one hell of a rock show by Danko Jones!
On the 27nd of October, Greta Van Fleet performed at Ancienne Belgique, Brussels.
Life Of Agony still rocks the stages, this time supported by their big friend Billy with his new band Billy Bio and the dudes from Hollywood, All Hail The Yeti. Check out how hot the evening was.
On friday october fifth The Fratellis finally honored Belgium with another visit after so many years. Better even, they came to one of the most beautiful venues Belgium has: De Casino. Opening for The Fratellis was a band called Mona from Nashville, Tennesee. Forty five minutes have seldom passed so quickly.
Alien Weaponry definitely killed it on their very first gig in Belgium at Le Cercle, on 09/08/2018. The New-Zealander trio knows how to rule a stage, be it through the sheer power of their performance, or their interaction with the crowd.
On Saturday August 25th Carnation walked straight out of their Chapel of Abhorrence to the stage where they played all tracks of their new album for the very first time. It was clear Belgium had been waiting for this.
Consouling Sounds brought us another dark night at Charlatan, and I sincerely hope they keep presenting us these nights of utter darkness.
The weather had been indecisive for a few days before the show, veering between pleasant summer and anticipating thunder, which left a very hot and brewing air indoors. An ideal atmosphere for a night of heavy stoner rock, if you ask me. I’d seen and shot Monster Magnet a couple of years before at the […]
