Punk and metal gigs make for some of the best gigs usually. Both bands generated a deep circle pit and a large number of crowd surfers. Brilliant!

Fans of
#heavymusic
got their fill tonight at
#patronaathaarlem
Four bands covering a wide spectrum shared the stage:
#Hulder
#kylesa
#OranssiPazuzu
and
#solstafir
The last two had toured together in November 2024. We were reminded how well they complement each other. What a fun, eclectic gig.

#thursdeath
again! The new
#soulburn
is out. It’s a bit of a departure from previous releases but still provoked a good deal of foot tapping and head banging. Give it a listen.

hosted
#sinsaenum
and
#possessed
No neck was spared! Much of what we call Death Metal today wouldn’t be the same without Jeff and Possessed, we are always thankful to hear these genre defining tunes live.

Back to NL right on time for yet another fine
#deathmetal
concert at

This was a mid afternoon affair with
#damnation
#AshenTomb
and
#inhumancondition
on their first European tour. We couldn’t really say no to that. Good vibes, great music. Go and see them if they play near you!

closed day two of

2026. Newer material and older classics were delivered with the same incisive technique. Thinking this is very probably the last time they play in NL is tough. The alliance to slay all the giants has failed.

tonight.
#dodentocht
#Eremit

joined forces to promote
#deathmetal

#deathdoom
We were not super familiar with their material and now will have to correct that sad state of affairs. Highly recommended.

Nothing can stop
#deathmetal
Not even a burning Marshall amp.
#MusicOn
in
#denhaag
was hosting
#degraved
#cadavericincubator
#warpchamber
and
#cardiacarrest
Each of them has its own spin on the genre yet it’s clear they all drank from the same hallowed, ancient wellsprings.

Amsterdam Metal Scene gets a home on the Web at
amsterdammetalscene.net
You will find two things that may be of interest. First, a blog with the same content as on the Fediverse. Second, a calendar that lists all NL metal events we know of. These can be filtered and starred. We hope you like it.

There’s nothing like a
#deathmetal
gig on a Monday evening.
#gruesome
and
#Exhumed
are leaders in their respective sub-genres. Both bands kill, are great fun to see live and luckily for us dropped by the
#littledevil
in
#tilburg
for a sold out, fully packed gig. We want more!

Every time we see a gig at
#mainstagedenbosch
it’s a Clash of the Titans type bill with metal heavyweights. Today was no exception.
#nails
#exodus
#carcass
and
#kreator
shared the stage and all dropped head banging tunes one after another. We thought Carcass gave a particularly great performance.

#grindcore
festival featuring
#blindtothebars

#kandarivas
who have now reached the end of their mini EU tour. Who knew

#whoresnation
#blockheads
#plf
#haemorrhage

All of it was top notch. Crowd surfers approved.

in Amstelveen to witness Norwegian

#gorgoroth

This kicked serious ass.

#erbeetazhak
#venefixion

#kringa
#obliteration
#the_true_possession

When

#marduk

A few days ago, we promised more
#doommetal
This was correct yet not accurate. At
#Tolhuistuin
we saw
#earth
with Nataša Grujović & Steve Moore opening. As Steve Moore so eloquently put it, bands and crowd were there for the love of sound, the interaction of tones and songs that take us places.

We got there a bit late so missed the opening act but got to enjoy

#Patriarkh
who played in the Netherlands last year. It was good to see them again with bands that are somewhat rare on this side of the continent.
