In the heart of the Northwest of Frisia; Surrecturus was formed by Henk ter Heegde and Ieme van der Veen, by a mutual interest in music mixing and producing. Henk is a renowned and well respected drummer who can also play a multitude of instruments. Ieme is a vocalist who is very well known for his vocal skills and stage performance; both driven by the power of big sounding music they started their journey. They got along very well and a short while after that, they engaged in their own songwriting; and recording it all in their own studio. Very quickly the idea rose to record a complete album, the working title was never changed: Awake and Arise.

Ieme was always driven by the idea of writing a theme based album, regarding the lyrics. And so we travel from Lilith, mother of demons and birth of all evil into the Black Magick trilogy. Starting with the mind control program of the ancient pharaoh’s: Power of the Trivium. Then we dive into the result of mind control: Isolation. Where all light seems gone, we will Arise and Awake from this slumber and travel on to our own old land where we found out, we raped and killed ourselves. Even though Luna was our Queen we killed her out of jealousy and greed. And so even the night will die, we will lose our soul and on the path of our united tears we will walk the soil of our old land and hear her cry….. Will we bring back Baldr or will we witness The rebirth of Lilith….

For the most lead guitar soloing, they asked the well talented guitar player Geart de Haan. Amazing talented player who came up with excellent solo’s, that really benefits to the songs and is a great and welcome contribution to the entire album.

Members of Surrecturus are:

● Drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, percussion and backing vocals: Henk ter Heegde

● Vocals: Ieme van der Veen

● Feat.: Solo guitars: Geart de Haan

All songs were written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Henk ter Heegde and Ieme van der Veen at the Project Sound Studio Stiens. All rights belong to the authors

2 Years have passed since their debut album “Hinterlands” (Painted Bass Records) has been released, but now the Dutch melancholic (post-doom) metal band VETRAR DRAUGURINN is back! “The Night Sky” is a collection of melodic, diverse and dynamic tracks, in which the subjects Loneliness and Death are its solid foundation. Heavy 8-stringed guitars, a growling bass and colossal drums together with the dark, enchanting voice of Marjan Welman (Autumn, Ayreon) form the mix that surpasses any genre. The band, formed by guitarist/songwriter Eric Hazebroek (Pilgrimage, ex-Stream of Passion), exists since 2016 and has walked the narrow path of odd musical choices ever since. Conjuring their own sound by combining a wide variety of influences from the doom, gothic, and atmospheric metal. Unique and free from boundaries. With an experienced and talented line-up, which besides Eric and Marjan is made up of Jim van de Kerkhof (drums // ex-All For Nothing), Thomas Cochrane (guitar // Dystopia), and Arjan Heijden (bass // ex-Acrid), VETRAR DRAUGURINN’s aim is to write honest and humble music, with a newly found and mature approach. “The Night Sky” will be the first release through their own label Dark Skies Coming. The music industry is not what it used to be, which made them choose to make this new album available through the streaming services and through the band’s official Bandcamp and other websites. A challenge the band dares to take. A continuation on the Narrow Path

With layered compositions that range from tranquil oases to swirling riffs Inhalo is as diverse as an alternative progressive rock band can be. A seamless blend of serene and ferocious elegantly held together by an emotional performance. Tension and release, like a ballet dancer gracefully tiptoeing on a volcanic caldera.

Inhalo is no newcomer. All of the band members have earned their stripes over the years playing tours all over the continent in bands such as A Liquid Landscape, Ivy’s Dream and The Heaven’s Devils, supporting bands like Karnivool, Riverside and Marillion.

After years of working on their music with scene icons like Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), the four Dutchmen have now teamed up with Construction Records for the release of their debut album.

‘Sever’ is a passionate musical journey about dealing with anxiety and the process of growth within its confines. A journey in which beauty can lull you into a false sense of security before it pulls the rug from under your feet and sends you hurtling down its fiery pits.

Xeno is een progressieve metal band uit Middelburg, Nederland, die extreme metal sounds combineert met verrassende twists en passages getrokken uit verschillende genres. Gecombineerd met inspirerende teksten uit een tal van filosofische en persoonlijke onderwerpen creëert Xeno een zeer unieke, verhalende atmosfeer waar luisteraars zich in kunnen verliezen. De muziek zelf is beïnvloed door bands als Periphery, Tesseract, Opeth, Plini en Porcupine Tree maar ook bijvoorbeeld door Haken, Leprous en Lamb of God.

Tijdens de pandemie kwam Xeno in oktober 2020 met het album ‘Sojourn’. Dit album werd uitgebracht via het Spaanse Art Gates Records, en werd erg goed ontvangen. Critici en luisteraars waren het met elkaar eens, dit was een van de beste progressieve metal albums van het jaar.
“Xeno heeft zichzelf meer dan overtroffen. Hopelijk sterft dit artistieke meesterwerk geen stille dood door het uitblijven van live-shows om de zaak te promoten. Deze band verdient een plek op de Nederlandse en internationale metalkaart.” – 3voor12

Iedereen die Xeno wel eens live heeft gezien is het er over eens dat de band een fantastische live-show geeft. Met krachtige vocals, riffs, instrumentale behendigheid en een gigantische podium energie, is de intensiteit van Xeno niet te ontkennen. Dit is een van de redenen dat Xeno met bands als bijvoorbeeld Voivod, Carach Angren en Spoil Engine het podium heeft gedeeld.

De nieuwe release, ‘Reconstruction’, zal worden uitgebracht op 16 november 2022 via Art Gates Records. Met dit EP bezocht Xeno hun eerste album, Atlas Construct (2016), en hebben ze daarvan drie nummers herschreven in de nieuwe stijl als ode aan hun verleden.

Xeno is hongerig, ambitieus, en klaar om hun spierballen te laten zien aan de wereld.
