1e namen Soulcrusher 2019 met Daughters, Mizmor en Telepathy

Voor je het weet is de zomer hier (…) en weer voorbij en mogen we in het najaar helegaar los op een pak aan heavy festivals. Zo’n beetje ons favoriete dagfestival is Soulcrusher in Doornroosje Nijmegen. Daar gingen we al drie edities hard op acts van Yob, Deafheaven, Inter Arma, Mayhem en Dodecahedron tot Ufomammut, Monolord, Conan, Oathbreaker en Voivod. Van hevig stonend en doomend tot intens blackened spul dus.

Van thrash metal tot hardcore, doom tot garage: vandaag presenteren we voor de vierde keer het Bruut Nationaal Product, onze maandelijkse rubriek en Spotify-lijst. De tofste tracks uitgebracht in

Since it’s first inclusion as a venue in various festivals in Tilburg, het Patronaat has become a loved venue for all. Not just for Roadburn, but also for Incubate, Netherlands Deathfest and many other events the venue played a vital part. Now, it’s doors close for live concerts for good and Imperial Triumphant was the band to play the final notes in the upstairs venue with the pretty carpeted balcony

Vinyl lessons from Andreas Kohl on Sunday Afternoon

On Sunday afternoon, there was a Q&A for the real vinyl fans at Roadburn. And that should in a sense mean everyone, yet it isn’t as busy as you would expect during the Vinyl Veda Vault session with Andreas Kohl. Editor: Guido Segers Since we did visit and have learned from the Senior Manager at Optimal Media and founder/owner of Exile on Mainstream, we think it’s only fair we share

Record store day at Roadburn: is vinyl a fad after all?

Today is a good day for music. While we’re enjoying the third day of Roadburn it’s also Record Store Day. We were at a packed Sounds Tilburg where the announced ‘DJ-set’ by Dutch Record Store Day ambassadors De Staat turns out to be a live set after all. Fool me once. We park at the door from where we see a lot of folks carrying out RSD-totes filled with what,
