live review

Almost a year to the day Queensryche came to The Netherlands for two shows, supported by the mighty Armored Saint and newcomers Beyond The Black. At that time the guys from Seattle played at the Melkweg in Amsterdam with singer Todd La Torre suffering...

It was three years ago when Whitesnake came to Tilburg, Netherlands, as part of their „Year of the Snake“ tour. This August ‚the snake‘ came back to the 013, performing a „The Greatest Hits Tour 2016“ show. Irish classic rockers The Answer, that supports...

Holland has quite some metal festivals and also many really good clubs and venues for music, but the unofficial capitol of metal in The Netherlands is and stays Eindhoven. The legendary Dynamo Open Airs are known all over the world and bands like Testament...

This is the second time I've seen Magnum within a few days period. After having had the pleasure of joining their show in Zoetermeer last week it's now The Waterfront venue in Norwich UK that hosts the five-piece tonight. Actually it's the first time...

A pretty interesting package of musicians and bands stopped at the 013 in Tilburg on this sunny summer evening in May. German post-rockers, or is it more prog rock, Long Distance Calling are on tour to promote their fabulous new album "Trips". After having...

It's not that often that UK hardrockers Magnum are visiting the Randstad area in Holland. Normally the guys stop more often in the (South-) Eastern parts of The Netherlands, but this time, being on their way from Germany to the UK, Bob Catley, Tony Clarkin...

After having hosted a show of German thrashers Exumer earlier this year it was the right moment for another thrash metal night in Leiden. This time it's the legendary Overkill that stopped for one show in Holland, inviting fans to a journey back in time....

Fans always wanted Udo Dirkschneider doing Accept songs as being part of the regular U.D.O. shows. And of course, these old classic are awesome and milestones in metal music. But U.D.O. is not Accept and therefore Udo Dirkschneider decided to do a tour...

The smaller of the two rooms at Gebr. de Nobel in Leiden, The Netherlands hosted one of Germany's most impactful thrash metal bands, Exumer. Esp. their debut "Possessed by Fire" belongs to the milestones in heavy German metal music and I could imagine...

The whole German winter was green so far and temperatures have been on springly 14 degrees. This changed the day Swabian power metal command Brainstorm invited to the release show of their newest album "Scary Creatures". The whole area was covered by...

It feels like Mark Tremonti having a good relationship with The Netherlands. I can't remember him touring through Europe without having at least listed one show in the Holland. Also this time the tour stopped in the Benelux country and it has been second...

I have been a few times to the legendary 013 in Tilburg, but I haven't seen the venue since they finalized the renovation works. Actually it was more a rebuild than a renovation. The result is impressive. The acoustic was always great but I have the feeling...

A package consisting out of Danko Jones, '77 and Dead Lord is something you shouldn't miss, esp. when they have a stop in your town for playing a show. It was on Friday night when this rock'n'roll caravan came to Den Haag for a gig at the Paard Van Troje....

I think that there is no band I have seen more often during the last years than Saxon - Haarlem 2012, Zoetermeer 2013 and now Zoetermeer again in 2015. It's always a pleasure to see the five guys on stage. Saxon stands for passion and dedication for metal....
