OR NOT is a multi-generation metal band that plays epic thrash metal. The father-son combo combines the raw energy of old school thrash with epic orchestration and a super tight, modern sound. Thanks to the use of a wide spectrum of styles and techniques, each song becomes a mini soundtrack of a story definitely worth listening to.

The roots of the band lies in two crises. The midlife crisis of founder Dolf Blomhert and the Corona crisis that dominated the world for two years. At some point in your life, you may start to wonder what you still would like to experience or achieve. In case of male individuals, many start to work on their golf swing or buy that classic car or motorcycle they always dreamed about. This was however outside the field of interest of singer-guitarist Dolf. Other guys start a relationship with a twenty year younger female. This was already much more interesting. With his actual visual appearance, volunteering candidates where however impossible to find. Dolf his wife also didn’t agree with the concept.

There was however still another unfulfilled dream.

Some time ago, Dolf played in several metal bands. A great time with lots of fun, but hardly any money to spend. Studio time was expensive and when choices had to be made between investing in additional recording time or more booze, it seems no mystery why production quality wasn’t always at the required level

So making a full length album that really met all qualitative criteria became the mid-life project. The money otherwise spend on the car, motorcycle or a younger female was now the budget for this. And with the Corona crisis limiting many other distractions, this seemed to be a perfect time to start writing, playing and recording. Meanwhile, Dolf his son Daniel had transformed into a fierce, metal drummer. Together they wrote all the songs and played all the instruments on the double album “Violence & Grace”.

As soon as they build the basis, many other guest musicians were invited to make their creative contributions and lift the album to the highest possible level of diversity and professionalism. Finally, producer Hans Pieters brought everything down to a brutal and compact in-your-face production.

So a lot of people gave everything they got to offer you a great piece of music. And most of all: they did it with great passion! And this vibe is what everybody feels every time they listen to it. We hope you will hear it too when you listen to the OR NOT debut double album containing sixteen tracks and more than 90 minutes of metal mayhem. The album will be distributed and marketed worldwide by No Dust Records and Suburban and will be both physically available as 2CD Deluxe Mediabook as digitally available on Spotify, Apple Music, AmazonMusic, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube, Pandora, YandexMusic and SoundCloud.

In early 2023, a spark ignited the flames of Dreadmask, a melodic death metal band based in Eindhoven, with members originating from Greece, Hungary, and The Netherlands.

Fuelled by their shared passion for meaningful heavy music, Dreadmask wasted no time in making their mark on the scene. After each member had taken a break from previous bands, it was John Kourentas, Elger van Delft and Antonis Mougiakakos who initiated the band’s first incarnation. When Zoltàn Herczog came aboard in the summer of 2023, the group was settled.

The band released their debut EP, entitled ‘Thy Prime Dread’, on the 1st of May 2024, expertly mixed and mastered by Erwin Hermsen of Toneshed Recording Studio in Horst, The Netherlands.

Dreadmask, derived from the fusion of ‘dread’ and ‘mask,’ embodies the essence of fear and concealment. While ‘dread’ signifies the haunting grip of anxiety, ‘mask’ alludes to the veils we arise to shield our vulnerabilities. On the journey of playing the game of societal norms, we encounter our ‘Prime Dread’—our deepest fears.

Each member of Dreadmask brings their unique musical influences to the forefront, encompassing swedish death metal riffs, growling vocals, soaring melodies, progressive metal’s nuances, and black metal-inspired melancholy.

Dreadmask is;

– John Kourentas: Lead/Rhythm Guitars and Keys
– Antonis Mougiakakos: Bass and Lead Vocals
– Zoltán Herczog: Rhythm Guitars and Backing Vocals
– Elger van Delft: Drums

Dreadmask is here to unleash your Prime Dread!
Their debut EP marks the beginning of their journey to leave a lasting impression on the metal scene. Stay tuned for their live shows and forthcoming ambitious projects.
