Photo Reports

The Scottish pirates of Alestorm docked their pirate ship in Torhout, Belgium. A sold out venue was ready to party with them, fantasy power metallers Gloryhammer, the dwarves of Windrose and fellow pirates Rumahoy.

Black and white photo of a concert shot from the right side of the stage. The left half of the image is darkened with the audience on the bottom left. Light streams in from the top right down to the middle center, illuminating the stage. The sihouette of a guitar player can be seen at the front of the stage, approaching the crowd.

After almost 30 years of rocking Flemish stages, the legendary Clement Peerens Explosition is calling it quits or as they would say “kuist zijn schup af”. A sad loss for Belgian music, but we were there to capture them going out with a blast at one of their farewell shows at De Roma in Antwerp.

Jennifer Batten

Jennifer Batten recently did a club tour in Europe. We went to see her at her stop in Zaal Goedleven in Ghent, Belgium and were pleasantly surprised by a night filled with pop and rock classics by a music legend.

After crushing all big stages in Belgium and abroad, this is the second to last show of Rhea before they take a break performing live for at least a year. They made one hell of a rock party with the biggest mosh pits VIERNULVIER has had since a long time and support from The RG’s!

Sum 41 came to set Vorst Nationaal in Belgium on fire. They brought Cassyette and Simple Plan to support them in giving everyone a great evening.

This hugely popular blues rock band The Black Crowes needs no introduction for many people. After nearly forty years of touring and pumping out hits, they visited Belgium once more at the Lotto Arena in Antwerp. With support from the Dutch psych rockers DeWolff.

We got to see the Swedish prog masters Soen with warming up acts Oceanhoarse and Lizzard once again for a night of excellent music, this time at the Trix venue in Antwerp, Belgium.

Album Reviews

Raw Peace’s new full length fires 100 bullets before the first one hits target… you thought you heard aggression before? THINK AGAIN!

Let your imagination run free when you listen to Fabulae Dramatis’ album ‘Solar Time’s Fables’. Find out here how.

Put on your bullet belt and thrash like its 1984! Lethal Injury strike hard with their first thrashing full-length. Old school yet New school, and very heavy!

Synths, pop, geeking out, sci-fi and a punky “we don’t care what you think” attitude… enter Hatchling! Everything must be destroyed!

Obey the TerrorVision! Aborted’s tenth full length album is truly testament to the lasting impression left by both brutality and melody.

A beautiful new project called Rrrags released their first record a few months ago!

Get ready for a kick in the teeth by Crowsview’s debut album “Lost Resistance”… the H8000 scene lives!

Gateway’s Boundless Torture EP review, a crawling hunk of noisy creeping death.

The Belgian trash metal band Basement Critters bring their first EP. Find out here how that turned out.
