Metalheads @ Into the Grave (part 2)
The Into The Grave festival is a small metal festival at a unique location, in the middle of Leeuwarden. With two stages there is plenty of room to discover new metal bands, besides the obvious headliners. This year the festival was held from June 7th to June 9th. MetalFromNL was there to make a report and take pictures. See if we captured your metalhead spirit!

De heren van Nephylim (Melodic Death metal) openen de Reaper stage op vrijdag. Ze werden aangekondigd met het feitje dat ze niet meer samen gespeeld hebben sinds februari. Hier is echter niks van te merken!
Ze beginnen hun show ook meteen sterk door tegelijkertijd te headbangen. Het zijn echte showmensen op het podium. De zanger gaf de andere artiesten ook een spotlight momenten, persoonlijk vind ik dit heel fijn om te zien aangezien een band meer is dan alleen de frontman.
Ook zodra de eerste noten begonnen te klinken begon het steeds voller en voller te lopen met mensen en dit ook zeer verdient want wat speelde ze lekker. Het enige beetje irritante is dat de frontman het publiek in het Nederlands en Engels aansprak en de hele tijd bleef wisselen. Ik denk dat ik mij hier als enige aan stoorde want het publiek ging los. Nadat de eerste moshpit was gestart ging het aan een lopende band door.
Het is niet de eerste keer dat ik Nephylim heb gezien en ik hoop ook niet de laatste want het plaatje is compleet, het klinkt gewoon goed en zo ziet het er ook uit!
Je vind Nephylim op hun eigen website of in onze database.

Nephylim live @Into The Grave
The gentlemen of Nephylim (Melodic Death Metal) are opening the Reaper Stage on Friday. They were announced with the fact that they haven’t played together since February. However, you wouldn’t notice this at all!
They start their show off strong by headbanging in unison. They are true showmen on stage. The singer also gave the other artists their moments in the spotlight. I personally find that very nice to see, as a band is more than just the frontman.
As soon as the first notes started to play, more and more people began to gather, which is well deserved. They played really well. The only slightly annoying thing was that the frontman addressed the audience in both Dutch and English, constantly switching between the two. I think I was the only one bothered by this because the crowd went wild. Once the first mosh pit started, it continued non-stop.
This is not the first time I’ve seen Nephylim and I hope it won’t be the last. Because everything about them is just right; they sound great and look great too!
On june 8th, Ziggurath released their EP Astral Excorcism. A weird combination of Egyptian inspired black death’n roll, Astral Exorcism makes for an interesting listening session. Check it out on Spotify and check out the pictures our photographer Abyssal Void made for us below.
Graveland Festival is the place to be if you’re into (underground) death and black metal. This year’s headliners are well worth the 99 euro for a two-day festival. This years’ line-up includes Tiamat, Carcass, Dool, Necrophobic, Tsjuder and Wolves in the Throne Room, besides of course a lot of other bands and even some local legends. Jose was there for us to take some pictures and give us his impression of the festival.
The nice thing about Graveland is that it has only one stage, so you don’t have to choose which bands you want to see. That means that there are bound to be some bands that you’ve never heard of before, but make some pretty interesting music.
Deadspeak
Deadspeak describe themselves as Filthy guitars, rotting low end, pounding riffs, and atmospheric interludes. They make nasty death-metal, which is heard on their latest release ‘Tidal Disruption’. They had the honor to open for Graveland this edition, and the sure made the most of it! Their debut album will drop later this year, and they made sure we are excited for that.
More pictures below.
Deathless Void
Soul-shattering grimy black-metal…those words describe Deathless Void perfectly. Operating more in the black-metal underground, Deathless Void stepped out onto the big stage today to deliver a killer performance during Graveland Festival. The squeals from their vocalist made the hairs on our arms stand straight up, and the fire made sure we could feel a least a little bit of heat, since the weather still wasn’t great.
More pictures below.
After some metal, it’s time for food and drinks. Besides the usual stuff Graveland has some good meat too. We need that with weather like this. It’s a bit hard to find a place to actually eat the food, since it’s been raining a lot all day. After a well-deserved food break a some rest in the tent, we’re back to the festival site for some more metal.
Dool
Dool is an interesting band. Mixing dark vibes with gothic and progressive metal, we’re not sure how to label this band. And maybe we shouldn’t, with their latest album titled ‘Shape of Fluidity’. Being one of the Netherlands most well-known acts, their versatility means that they fit in well on a variety of stages.
They definitely fit the Graveland stage, as they play a very well-balanced set with plenty of crowd-pleasing songs.
