MIDNIGHT ETERNAL @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. MIDNIGHT ETERNAL was the first band on stage. Frankly, I’d never heard of them before, but then again, symphonic power metal with a female lyric voice – and occasional male growls – isn’t exactly my cup … Continue reading

ROTTING CHRIST @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

More than the ring the combination has to it, I believe the tour was named after both headliners’ latest works only because of that – their shortest lifetime. After all, ROTTING CHRIST‘s “Rituals” had already been released two years prior, … Continue reading

CARACH ANGREN @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

“Seriously? Another band named after Tolkien?” was my first thought when learning about the bill, I must confess. The Dutch symphonic black metal band has been around for quite a while, but since the genre is not exactly my favorite … Continue reading

SVART CROWN @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

The black/death metal of SVART CROWN warmed up the Rituals Amongst The Rotten European Tour. Performing songs off their last three albums – meaning that only the debut “Ages Of Decay” was left out – the French quartet was warmly … Continue reading

HEAVENWOOD’s 25th anniversary @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

This gallery contains 51 photos.

One would expect for better lights when the headliners stepped on stage, but nope – my struggle with darkness and occasional strobes went on… Celebrating 25 years of existence, but also the continuity of said existence, the “best of” setlist … Continue reading

EQUALEFT @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

This gallery contains 66 photos.

New drummer Marco’s first gig with EQUALEFT! I knew they wouldn’t pick just any drummer, but it feels good to aknowledge for yourself the great choice they’ve made. 😎 In between cookies and light sabres, two new promising songs: “We Defy” … Continue reading

SHADOWSPHERE @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

We all had bad days and this was one of them for SHADOWSPHERE – or at least to my eyes (and ears). Maybe I was just expecting more, after the great show I’d seen three months prior, at Cave 45 … Continue reading

IN VEIN @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Sometimes even the main room of Hard Club has some pretty shitty lights and as much as I’d like to say the grain on these pics is artistically intentional, it isn’t. Still like them though. As for IN VEIN‘s gig … Continue reading

WEB @ Not A XXXmas Fest, 2017/12/23

I didn’t attend the fest, not exactly – just dropped by to see WEB and say goodbye to the venue, as Cave 45 would close its door a week or two afterwards. It was a nightmare to shoot there – … Continue reading

KILL THE KONG @ Klubb Defused, 2017/12/08

KILL THE KONG promoting their sophomore album “Colossus”, which had been released a couple of weeks before. In-between “The Antagonist”, “Snake Eyes” or “Juggernaut (Wolfpack)”, there was room to go back to the self-titled debut album with “Caged”, “Black Bones” … Continue reading
