The legendary Nile dropped by at the Entrepot venue in Bruges, Belgium as part of their “Underworld Europe Tour 2024”, bringing the music of their new album to fans across the continent, and brought along some other excellent death metal bands with Hideous Divinity and Intrepid. Local support came from Pestifer.
Last month, Circuit Breaker Bookings with All Out Productions brought grindcore juggernauts Full Of Hell all the way from US to a fully sold out On The Rocks. And with supporting acts Kuvotus and Dome Runner, this was by far one of the most intense nights we have witnessed of late. A night full of blood, sweat and broken glass, with constant moshpits and stagediving!
