On the 10th anniversary edition of the Belgian hard rock and metal festival Blast From The Past, they did what they do best yet again: bringing the old school to a stage near you with an impressive line-up of Angel Witch, Onslaught, Exumer, Vengeance, Witchfynde, Hitten, Existance, Steelover, and Toledo Steel!

The last day of a long and exhausting weekend of great music and atmosphere was all about the Belgian music scene at La Morgue with Aeveris, Brutal Sphincter, Hexa Mera, Mantah and Reject The Sickness!

The last day of a long and exhausting weekend of great music and atmosphere with some of the most extreme music around on the Swamp Stage from Serpents Oath, Archspire, Kataklysm and Bloodbath!

Zingen in eigen moedertaal, een goede dosis humor en ongelofelijk catchy riffs en melodieën in combinatie met een ongeloflijk charismatische frontman. Fleddy Melculy is geen ééndagsvlieg, zoveel is zeker!
