Durden heeft een remix uitgebracht van hun track Pro Hater. De hardcore/metalcore band was al keihard, maar deze mix maakt deze track nog harder. De nieuwe mix klinkt alsof deze track altijd zo bedoeld was. Door de synths en samples trekt de track wel nog meer richting HipHop. Wat vinden jullie daarvan?
Durden has released a remix of their track Pro Hater. The hardcore/metalcore band was already loud, but this track goes through the roof. The new mix sounds like the song was meant to be played this way. However, the synths and use of samples makes this track even more HipHop now. That’s not a bad thing, right?

Op 17 november speelt ENMA een speciale accoustische set. Even genoeg harde gitaren en schreeuwende vocalen gehoord? Dan is deze accoustische set van deze Brabantse progband een mooie afwisseling. Ze spelen overigens ook een normale set. Beide sets worden live opgenomen.
On the 17th of November, ENMA will be playing a special acoustic live set. If you’ve had enough of loud guitars and screaming vocals, this acoustic set by the progband might be a nice change of pace. They are playing a normal set on the same day as well by the way, and both sets will be recorded.

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!

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?

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.’
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!
