The past is alive!

In early 2016 STEEL SHOCK was born, and with the single goal to play Heavy Metal in the 80s tradition: no trends, no compromise, just pure fucking Heavy Metal and all its glorious clichés. The anthems of steel are being forged in the fires of the Netherlands and Germany. The ground shakes, the bones break, by STEEL and SHOCK! The first offensive was in February 2017, the ‘First Strike’ Demo. As we say ‘Old School Or No School’ (any questions?) Second offensive is coming your way next autumn, with the CD/LP ‘For Metal To Battle, released on 22 september 2017 via Alone Records, Greece. Get ready to Shock that fuckin’ Steel! And so it begins…

Formed in 2022, Kae West, an exciting rock band hailing from the Netherlands, brings together a vibrant mix of alternative prog and symphonic rock. The band, spearheaded by Korine Varekamp as the frontwoman, joined forces with accomplished drummer Laurens Bakker, notable for his contribution to the pioneering Dutch heavy metal band, Picture. The lineup is further solidified by guitarist Tim Çiçek and bassist Vince Ten Have, resulting in a cohesive ensemble that embodies a unique musical identity.

Currently, the band is gearing up for a series of shows featuring collaborations with various choirs in the Netherlands in support of the debut album ARRIVAL. Their powerful wall of sound, infused with harmonious vocals, promises to deliver a sensational experience that will resonate with rock enthusiasts of all generations and serves as the perfect teaser to create the necessary anticipation for the debut.

ARRIVAL is mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, Sweden which has an illustrious clientele, including renowned acts such as Opeth, Sepultura, Kreator, Arch Enemy, and many more. The first official release, Alert The Media (June 2023), produced by Red Pack Productions in The Netherlands, is a groundbreaking lead single showcasing intermittent posh English accents in the vocals, featuring contributions from the Dutch GOOV music theatre choir. These collaborations add extra layers of credibility and excitement to the release, setting the stage for a promising musical journey.

Kae West draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including Evanescence, Heart, Nightwish and Kate Bush to name just a few. If you’re a fan of these artists, there’s a good chance that Kae West’s music will also resonate with you.

Metallikoor is a choir that was founded in October 2016 and currently consists of 20 men. With powerful, loud, and ‘in yer face’ music, Metallikoor is the perfect place for rockers to sing their lungs out. No show tunes, no classical arias, no sea shanties, just good rock and metal songs that drive the audience crazy. The men perform at choir festivals, charitable events, private parties, and local and cultural festivals.

Connection with The Rockit

In Drunen and the surrounding area, the choir The Rockit has become quite well-known. The 25 ladies sing high-level rock songs, supported by offshoots such as Drop Dead Gorgeous, Yes! Soul & Disco, and Two Steps West. “But now it’s time for the men!” says Pocket Rockit founder and conductor Franki Münninghoff. “It’s incredible how often men ask us if they can join in. Of course, it helps that there are women on stage, but the strong repertoire is also appealing,” continues Franki.

A choir with balls

It’s a choir with balls because the repertoire doesn’t lie. Songs like ‘Dikke Titten’ by Rammstein, ‘The Pretender’ by The Foo Fighters, and ‘Highway to Hell’ by AC/DC are on the setlist. “Strong songs from the sixties to now,” says the English-speaking Franki. “I want the choir to sound more like a band than a choir. This means that you sometimes have to be creative with how you use a voice to get the right effect. I always work based on my own instincts and don’t listen to what the establishment says. If the music touches my soul, I’m on the right track.”
“If it’s too loud, then you’re too old” is her motto. But she is also very clear that the choir has no age limit. Anyone who thinks they can sing a bit and wants to perform this kind of music is welcome. The only condition is that you have to be a man.

Just like with the women of The Rockit, the performances often have a charitable focus. “For us, it’s very important that in addition to singing together, we can do something to help others. When we can perform at an event where money is being raised, we rarely say ‘no’,” says Franki.

Holland’s Got Talent

Normally, the choir only performs at local events and festivals. One exception is Holland’s Got Talent. Because if you’re asked to participate, you obviously don’t say ‘no’. With full dedication, Metallikoor put on a party number, and of course, they didn’t make it through. That was just as well, because they are already busy enough!
