What once started as a small cover band, covering songs by their favorite artists like Polaris, Parkway Drive, Enter Shikari, Beartooth, and many more, grew into a real band when they started writing their own music.

With their first EP currently in progress, Previse has already shown what they’re worth with their first single, “Broken the Cycle”. An absolute unit of a track, which manages to get the crowds moving every time.

Previse is currently looking to perform on as many podiums as possible, to gain experience. They’re an energetic bunch, and give it their all every single performance, no matter how small the venue, or how big the crowd.

Nymue is a starting progressive symphonic metalband with big influences from classical music, movie soundtracks and ofcourse metal!

Starting out with just the two of them Vincent van Zwieten and Thirza Fekkes worked on a cover in the summer of 2022 by the Frisian metalband Baldrs Draumar. While working on this cover they arranged for a full orchestra and after this experience they wanted to create more!

In April of 2023 their next cover saw the light: Scientist by Ayreon and Stream of Passion singer Marcela Bovio. They asked Reinier van Zwieten to join them for the symphonic metal rendition of this ballad.

For their cover of Mother Earth by Within Temptation the band got expanded with the brutal drums of Dominic Pongers in November of 2023.

After working with a plugin orchestra they wanted to work with real classical musicians. They put together an orchestra of 35 musicians consisting of professional, semi-professionals and friends of Thirza’s orchestra days. For their cover of Mother Earth by Within Temptation they also worked with a choir made up of students of Thirza from the Parcival College in Groningen.

After that they crossed ways with amazing guitarist Bastiaan Westerbeek for their cover of The Phantom of the Opera who joined in December of 2023.

In the short period of existing they worked together with Jeffrey Revet (Stream of Passion) and Sjoerd Klaas Steegstra (Baldrs Draumar).

AUM ZORION is an instrumental post-metal outfit from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Two former members of 90ies Dutch death metal greats Sinister and Consolation, drummer Toep Duin and guitarist Robert van der Mijle, had been toying with the idea to abandon their death metal roots and do something completely different: an instrumental project to satisfy their interests in other genres of heavy music; post, doom, black, groove, sludge.

After guitarist Eelko-Jan Groenevelt joined in late 2022, they started writing music in early 2023.

Only nine months later, in October 2023, they enlisted Erwin Hermsen to record, mix and master their debut album at his Toneshed Recording Studios, renowned for its extreme metal productions. The album features intricately layered soundscapes, big heavy riffs interchanged with parts that are quiet and ethereal, as AUM ZORION tries to take you on an uninterrupted, 45-minute long trip.

AUM ZORION played their debut live show to rave reviews in a sold out Flux in Zaandam in April 2024, only to be thwarted immediately afterwards by their bass player leaving.

In August 2024, Marco Stolker, of Mutilated Bones fame (early Dutch metal/grindcore), joined AUM ZORION as its new bassplayer to complete the line-up.

AUM ZORION released their debut album on June 1st 2024.

AARDSCHOK MAGAZINE said that AUM ZORION plays ‘instrumental post-metal that is reminiscent of the polished hammer blows of Russian Circles, Isis and Amenra’, and awarded 78 points to ‘a promising debut’.

METALFROMNL said ‘it’s the perfect music to get lost in and drift away in a lucid dream before black and progressive metal influences jolt you back to reality’ and ‘the album is best enjoyed as a whole, with all tracks forming one big story’.

Since completing their line-up, AUM ZORION has been working on the production of their live show, which will see them perform their debut album in full, in its entirety, accompanied by a visual show of video and lights, to create an immersive experience taking the audience on a journey through this ‘one big story’.

Epinikion is an epic symphonic metal band from the Netherlands, founded in 2020 by Renate de Boer on keys and Robert Tangerman on guitar. What started out as a project with an ambitious rock opera album, has long since evolved into a spectacular and entertaining live act.

After Robert and Renate had ended their top sport careers, Robert came up with the idea to do something in music. The combination of his electric guitar and Renate’s classical piano almost naturally led to the choice for symphonic metal music. As a result of the passion and sports mentality of Robert and Renate, the band evolved rapidly. It gave rise to the need for professional music production.

From the very beginning Epinikion combined heavy guitar riffs with subtle progressive and heavy metal influences, completed with harmonic and bombastic orchestral lines. The typical Epinikion sound is described as ‘epic, cinematic with captivating melodic lines. Refreshing symphonic metal with a personal twist’.

Epinikion is a ‘hymne for the winner’. In Ancient Greece the heroic stories of athletes were sung in an epinikion after their victories at major events. A fitting band name for musicians rising from the ashes of their former sports careers, as reflected by the phoenix in the band’s logo.

The debut album Inquisition was met with critical acclaim from all over the world, and the positive reviews led to a need to bring the music to a live audience, initially with session musicians for the first shows. In 2023 Kimberley Jongen joined the band on vocals, followed by Maarten Jungschläger on lead guitar, and Rutger Klijn on bass. In 2024 Michal Gis joined on drums to complete the permanent lineup, bringing together a group of talented and like minded people.

Ambitious as they are, Epinikion is ready to further evolve their sound. Music for a second album is already in the works, building on the foundations laid down with Inquisition. Epinikion’s unique story continues…

Surrecturus
New album out now!

Follow. Share. Listen.

B I O G R A F I E
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….
