True Crime industrial rock band SKYND has been on tour in Europe for a while now, and we caught them performing live in the Trix club, in Antwerp, with Knife Bride as support!

Haken

The co-headline tour of Haken and Between The Buried And Me struck down in the Trix Club, Antwerp, with warm up act Cryptodira to bring music lovers a night of mind-bending prog metal!

Rolo Tomassi

Rolo Tomassi’s European tour kicking off at Trix in Antwerp, finally introducing their new album ‘Where Myth Becomes Memory’ live, with support from Holy Fawn and Heriot!

Dinosaur Jr. hasn’t really changed – soundwise – for decades. They still play the coolest vintage gear, rock the dirtiest, grittiest fuzz pedals and turn it all up to eleven! A sheer treat for indie rockers and old souls at Trix in Antwerp with support from Garcia Peoples.

Amaranthe

Metal bands on the rise Amaranthe and Beyond The Black have been on a co-headline tour through Europe with support from Butcher Babies and Ad Infinitum. And we were at their stop at Trix in Antwerp, Belgium to celebrate these talented men and women!

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.

A great night of rock ‘n’ roll and pure fun with Eagles Of Death Metal and Dead Sara at the Trix venue in Antwerp, Belgium!

Gig Reports

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!

Hardcore veterans Sick Of It all brought a couple of friends with them to Belgium and simply blew the roof off the venue!

Knocked Loose played a new school hardcore set and the crow went old school on their asses! One of the best, most violent and most cathartic sets I’ve ever witnessed.
