Naast Within Temptation is Diggeth ook een goed exportproduct. Ze zijn net terug van hun tour in de USA en touren nu met ACDCUK voor de rest van het jaar. Knap voor een trio uit zo’n klein landje!

Tsjuster replaced Engorge with Deadspeak

(English below)

Afgelopen weekend (20 oktober) zou Tsjuster samen met Engorge optreden in Willemeen als onderdeel van een tour. Engorge is echter gecancelled en heeft Tsjuster de vervanging gevonden in Deadspeak voor hun optreden in Berlijn. Engorge zegt niets met de beschuldigingen te maken te hebben maar Tsjuster wil zich ver houden van alle aanteigingen dus hebben ze besloten voor de andere optredens met Engorge een andere oplossing te zoeken. Wat vind jij ervan dat Tsjuster zich zo duidelijk uitspreekt?

Tsjuster found a replacement in Deadspeak for their performance in Berlin. Engorge says they have nothing to do with the alligations, but Tsjuster doesn’t want to be tied to those alligations in any way. They’ve decided to replace Engorge for all their other tour dates as well. What do you think of that?

SUOL – pre-order new album now!

Mysterious duo J. and P., apparently know from other bands as Shagor, Ossaert, Dinbethes and Weerzin, have connected to create some new black metal tunes. Under the name SUOL these two have just released a track called ‘Slot van Voorst’, a track about the arson of the Dutch city Zwolle.

“When diving into Zwolle’s history, SUOL encountered a story about a very prolific family in the 13th century: Baronial family Van Voorst. The Barons Van Voorst were very ambitious, were feared by city folk and traders alike, and managed to build up their own independent area of power around Zwolle with all kinds of tactics to increase their wealth. Operating out of Slot van Voorst and earning their reputation of robber barons, this inevitably led to the clash between Baron Zweeder van Voorst and the city of Zwolle. This led to the city council calling in the help of the bishop of Utrecht, Jan van Arkel. However, Baron Zweeder van Voorst was not pleased with this and, hot headed as Zweeder van Voorst was, things escalated quickly with the arson of Zwolle as a result. ‘Ruiten ende roven is gheen schande, dat doen die heren al die besten van den lande.’

Pre-order the album

A message from the Swarte Eyysel collaboration SUOL is part of tells us more about the pre-order.

At once prudently traditional and brazenly unorthodox, SUOL’s iteration of black metal simmers and shimmers, flooding the senses in a fever dream of passion, violence and ancient folklore. Let these six songs take you on a path from Zwolle across the IJssel river towards the Zuiderzee, past arsonist robber barons, shore devils, black shadows, devoured villages and strung-up murderers.

The self-titled album will be released digitally and on digipak. A limited run of T-shirts is also available! Pre-orders available immediately at www.swarteyssel.com

To celebrate this new release we decided to offer a big discount storewide! Each order from 30 euro’s and up will qualify for a 20% discount! Yes, this also goes for the new Suol release!

Besides that we have decided to run a limited run of Dinbethes merchandise! T-shirts and longsleeves are now available in the webshop!

About Lord Volture

LORD VOLTURE are a Dutch heavy metal outfit in the tradition of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Iced Earth, led by vocalist David Marcelis. After an explosive take-off in 2010 with the release of debut album ‘Beast of Thunder’ (feat. Jeff Waters of Annihilator) the band rapidly rose to find themselves in the frontier of the Dutch heavy metal scene.

With their follow-up releases ‘Never Cry Wolf’ (feat. Sean Peck of Cage) in 2011 and “Will to Power” (Mausoleum Records, feat. Chris Poland, ex-Megadeth) in 2014 the band set their definitive style while increasingly gaining recognition everywhere they were heard. With all three albums being well received by reviewers worldwide, LORD VOLTURE have gained significant presence in the global metal community. This massive exposure opened doors to many festivals and support slots. As a result, LORD VOLTURE have shared the stage with Y&T, Primal Fear, Firewind, Sanctuary, Circle II Circle, Tim Ripper Owens, Blaze Bayley, Vicious Rumors, Blitzkrieg and numerous others, while touring through the larger part of Europe.

From the British Isles to eastern Europe and from the Baltics to the Mediterranean, LORD VOLTURE have made their mark. Now, with a new line-up, LORD VOLTURE are promoting their first live album entitled “Live ’em Up!”. The band is sharper than ever before and ready to unleash more high-pitched power vocals, mind boggling guitar solos and pure unpolished heavy metal onto the world. For all who bear a heart of steel, LORD VOLTURE is a definite MUST!
