RELEASE THE RIVER is a blackened death metal power trio founded late 2019 hailing from Leiden, The Netherlands. Devastating grooves and blasting riffs pave the way for a new era of brutality, where psychedelic atmospheres meet powerful metal. The three core members of the dismantled band Illusionless have risen from the ashes to continue the path to create Leiden’s finest metal.

Early 2022 saw the unveiling of Spirit Corrupt, the first EP of RELEASE THE RIVER. Spirit Corrupt takes the listener on a journey past ruins, cults, history and dark forests in the search of mankind’s corruptive nature.

The band’s sound is characterized by the fusing of deep diving groove riffs with the atmospheric tendencies of black metal. Drenched with a healthy dose of death metal RELEASE THE RIVER seeks to create intense heavy music with hidden meaning.

RELEASE THE RIVER is:

Zeno de Jong – Lead vocals, Guitars & Synths Jeroen Serdijn — Bass, Backing Vocals & Spoken word Joshua Wells – Drums

SHUULAK is a Dutch Metal band whose otherworldly songs explore man’s obsession with things that would only destroy him. Unfettered by trends and uncompromising in its pursuit of excellence; their music stands as a testament to the undying power of heavy metal.

Eyes aglow with the fires of creation, SHUULAK – Eve Laetitia (lead guitar), Ricardo Kroon (rhythm guitar), Pien de Beer (bass), Angelo Tower (drums) and Bastiën Baron (vocals) – fervently stoke its flames.

In 2014 a friendship formed during previous musical collaborations lays the foundation for what’s to be SHUULAK. A shared, deep-rooted interest in alchemy and the occult provides fertile ground for inspiration.

Constantly challenging themselves, the bands members hone their craft. Either refining or discarding what holds them back, nothing is deemed sacred in making their vision a reality. Drawing from experience, the band does its own recording, photography, video editing and visual design.

2017 sees the bands debut release: ‘Nigredo’ (EP). It is the first installment of a tetralogy, which tells of alchemical enlightenment. It is followed up with ‘Albedo’ (MCD, 2018), ‘Citrinitas’ (EP, 2019) and finally ‘Rubedo’ (EP, 2020).

Its songs tell of the alchemists’ path to enlightenment and the myriad ways desires for greatness inevitably end in madness and depravity.

Bastiën Baron (vocals) Eve Laetitia (lead guitar) Ricardo Kroon (rhythm guitar) Pien de Beer (bass) Angelo Tower (drums)

The Dutch black metal band Asgrauw is active since 2010. While their first album Schijngestalten showed straight-forward old skool influences, the following material showed a more atmospheric and melancholic vibe. They are affected by the great 90’s Scandinavian hordes like Ulver, Emperor, Dodheimsgard and Darkthrone what you observe on their 2th album ‘Krater’. Asgrauw relies on a dark and bleak atmosphere with piercing guitars and haunting synths, that are strengthened with powerful and energetic punky riffs and heavy drums. has two vocalists, which gives a lot of variety in vocal styles. Their thirth album Gronspech which is performed in local dialect, was well received by the press. Publicity, however, does not interest the band. The men follow their own introvert path and are averse to trends and opinions.

Begin 2020 Asgrauw released IJsval a album filled with apocalyptic scenes that in more or less became reality, Asgrauw showed a more technical part of itself on this album but kept their own sound. This line has even been extented to the upcoming album “Façade”. It has the signature Asgrauw sound and riffs, the album combines the technical aspect of IJsval with the furious parts of Gronspech.

Asgrauw is part of “Zwotte Kring” and has members active in Meslamtaea, Sagenland and Schavot

In may 2022, Dutch metal musician Niels Riethorst (ex-Heidevolk, ex-Nodfyr, ex- I shall move the earthh, Plaagdrager) started a solo project as an outlet for his deepest emotions, both looking inward as well as a reflection of the world surrounding him. The name Beenkerver (bone carver in Dutch) was resurrected, being his nickname during the Heidevolk days in early 00’s.

From the very first note he played, the bleak brutality of 90’s black metal guitar riffs, fast drumming and 80’s inspired atmospheric overtones were so strong that within 2 months, an entire album was written and recorded. Dark, foggy, rainy and windy like the Dutch weather often is. This album became ‘Ontaard’ (unearted) which saw a digital release on july 25h, 2022. Soon after, an agreement was made with Vendetta Records from Germany to publish ‘Ontaard’ on CD Digipack, Tape and Vinyl. These willl be released in the second half of 2022.

As a one-man-band, zero compromises are made and only the truest of feelings are poured into the music, exploring emotions of darkness to create darkness. All wrapped in stories from local folklore, tales of loss and mourning, legends and art from Gelderland, the Netherlands.

INSURRECTION (NL) offers the ultimate blend between brutality, melody and catchiness with their raging melodic death/thrash. Hailing from the north of the Netherlands, founded in 2008, these Dutch thrashers released their critically acclaimed 6-track debut EP ‘Catatonic’ on Big Bad Wolf Records in 2015. With subsequently doing a whole shitload of shows promoting the release in Holland and Germany.
Following up their successful debut EP, Insurrection released their new album – entitled ‘Circles Of Despair’ on August 30th 2019 on Big Bad Wolf/Headbangers Records. Insurrection worked on ‘Circles Of Despair’ with producer Fredrik Nordström, who has previously helmed efforts from In Flames, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir and dozens of others. As for the strikingly dark album art, the group linked up with Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design (Oceans Of Slumber, Evergrey. The Crown a.o.).
Acclaimed by the critics for their killer songwriting skills on the new album and with a new release coming up as soon as possible, the band is eager to display their talent on stage as much as they can. With more than 100 shows played in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland so far, Insurrection is no longer an underground secret. Sharing stages with metal icons such as Destruction, King Diamond, Cradle Of Filth, Suffocation and Hypocrisy amongst others during the past few years, Insurrection is ready to rise like the tide out of the underground!
