After an exemplary show at Alcatraz this past summer, Septicflesh graced Belgium again with their presence on their “Modern Primitive European tour”, dropping by the DVG Club in Kortrijk. And with support by Equilibrium, Oceans and Scar of the Sun, it was quite the death metal night of epic proportions!

Hed pe is a veteran band with 30 years under their belt and are well known for their eclectic blend of nu-metal, reggae, hip-hop and punk rock. They have really created and sustained a unique niche in the industry and it’s not surprising they continue to show up for their loyal fans, who in turn made the night at The Eclectic Room in Angola, IN great!

Pictures of the first day of Alcatraz 2024, with on the Helldorado Stage Ankor, Bizkit Park, Red Fang, Heideroosjes and Hatebreed!

Day 5 of the Lokerse Feesten was blast, marked by the exclusive Belgian appearance of the iconic band Korn. The day was a whirlwind of diverse acts, each bringing their unique energy to the stage with on the main stage besides Korn shows from Wargasm, Nova Twins, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

The “Back to the 2000s Tour” has been going strong in the US territories, taking people back to the good old days of nu metal and alternative metal/rock and Ozzfest with stellar shows from The Union Underground, SOiL, Ra and Flaw! We caught the stop at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, IN!
