Venefixion
Obliteration
Possession
Blasphemy
Day four of #athousandlostcivilizations managed to outdo the other three days, with #erbeetazhak #venefixion #beyondman #kringa #obliteration #the_true_possession and finally Canadaβs number one cultural export, #Blasphemy In short, a great slice of the #deathmetal and #blackmetal scene.
Terrifiant
Owls Woods Graves
Volahn
Misthyrming
Day three of #athousandlostcivilizations in Brussels had the pedal to the metal from start to finish. We saw #terrifiant #profanation #owlswoodsgraves #herzog #volahn and #misthyrming Lots of quality acts from the underground that we had wanted to see for some time.
Solfatare
Tabula Rasa
BRΓ ND
Fabio Frizzi
Day two of #athousandlostcivilizations went from #blackmetal and #punk to #moviesoundtrack with #solfatare #tabularasa #BRΓ ND #NoFuture and #fabiofrizzi who took us on a trip down Zombi infested lanes and revisited the soundtracks of #luciofulci movies.
Abysmal Descent
Malthusian
Death Worship
Deathhammer
Went south to Brussels for #athousandlostcivilizations at #magasin4 Day one had #abysmaldescent #zulxaxeku #dikasterion #spiritpossession #Malthusian #deathworship and #deathhammer 3 more days of extreme music ahead, with an even more eclectic mix tomorrow! #deathmetal #blackmetal
#witchclubsatan announced a last minute gig at #occii We were going to spend a quiet Saturday night but thought hey why not go and enjoy some punk/folk infused feminist #blackmetal Out of respect for the coven, we have way fewer photos than usual. We will just say this was an eye opening experience.
#earth 's tour of Europe has ended. If you missed it, fear not, we have some footage from their gig at #Tolhuistuin at the end of January:

Immolation in Utrecht
Marduk in Utrecht
Mayhem in Utrecht
Mayhem in Utrecht
When #immolation #marduk and #mayhem tour together, you know you are in for a treat. The NY veterans opened the evening with technicality and brutality. Marduk was unstoppable. Mayhem gifted tunes covering all its repertoire, with flair and a well thought out mix of big screen video and theatrics.
Do you miss #gorefest like we do? Luckily #gorefunest is active and belts out killer covers of the #deathmetal legend. See it for yourself with this playlist www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKvJ...
NataΕ‘a GrujoviΔ & Steve Moore
Earth

Earth
A few days ago, we promised more #doommetal This was correct yet not accurate. At #Tolhuistuin we saw #earth with NataΕ‘a GrujoviΔ & 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.
#Patriarkh completed their European tour with #arkona #hate and #hallsofoblivion It was a blast, we are glad we made time for their gig at the #p60 in #amstelveen This smoky footage immortalises it all:

Doom over #dehellingutrecht courtesy of #aufhebung #Coltaine and #faetooth The female #doommetal trio played at last yearβs Roadburn, we were keen to see them on stage again. This was satisfying, filled a gap in our soul. Both openers were new to us, were really enjoyable. More doom soon.

We canβt have #gorefest but fortunately we can have #gorefunest Tonight at Soundville in #Rotterdam they delivered goosebump inducing covers of Gorefest classics. We never experienced the real thing unfortunately but this tribute was awesome. The Eindhoven insanity has become Rotterdamβsβ¦
Halls of Oblivion
Hate
Arkona
Patriarkh
First gig of 2026 at the #p60 down in #amstelveen We got there a bit late so missed the opening act but got to enjoy #hallsofoblivion #hate #arkona and #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.
As the year ends, there is time for one more list: your favourite live footage featuring #revocation #oranssipazuzu #napalmdeath #darkangel and other fine #metal bands that played in the Netherlands in 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwdV...

1/ Incredible first day at #EindhovenMetalMeeting 2025! While Scandinavia was well represented, the palette of extreme metal genres was diverse. We had never seen #MΓΆrkGryning #AndOceans live until yesterday and that was a real #blackmetal treat.
The 2025 edition of #eindhovenmetalmeeting just started with the warm up evening. Weβll be around starting tomorrow. This playlist from last year provides a refresher of what kind of awesome #deathmetal and #blackmetal performances to expect!
