Gig Reports
Blood Incantation’s latest album ‘Absolute Elsewhere’ has been heralded by many as the greatest extreme metal record of 2024. And quite justly so. Therefore, one should not pass up the opportunity to witness their cosmic magic with your own eyes and ears. Unsurprisingly, the gig at the Trix has been sold out for months already. With other acts Black Curse, Concrete Winds and Minami Deutsch it was truly an amazing night!
With the Island In Limbo Tour of co-headliners Haken and Between The Buried And Me embarked through Europe, where they once again proved that the love for progressive technical music is very alive. What a feast. Support came from the lesser known, but impressive Cryptodira.
After 7 long years, the Swedish prog masters Soen were back in Belgium with an exciting show at Trix in Antwerp, Belgium. Support came from the French outfit Lizzard and the Finnish heavy metallers Oceanhoarse!
Having to miss concerts for so long, I almost forgot wat it was like to wait so long to see one band, and then when that band finally hits the stage, the crowd just explodes.
Beartooth came to Belgium to make Trix (Antwerp) explode with energy and make the crowd of this sold out venue have an extraordinary night.
What a line-up! And what a night! Extreme music at its best.
Three bands from all over the world with Crossfaith from Japan, Ocean Grove from Australia and Black Futures from the United Kingdom rocked the Antwerp venue Trix.
Dwarfs, goblins and unicorns! Hoots! Gloryhammer came, saw and kicked evil wizard butt!
Eluveitie came to play a great show in Belgium that I’m hoping to see again some time soon!
