Jera On Air – Sunday June 30
See more pictures below the post Day 4 of Jera is a weird surprise. In the past few years, Jear On Air only had three days. And when this year’s edition was announced, it only had three days. However, since it was the festival’s 30th anniversary, and the ticket sale had already started, the organization…

Jera On Air – Friday 28th of June
(see all pictures (and more) fullsize below) At 11 o’clock, we were standing neatly in front of the gate waiting to be let in, along with, to be fair, not many other metalheads. Understandable, since the first band wouldn’t start until 12 o’clock. However, we were invited to join RockPopRadio to talk about MetalFromNL and…

Jera On Air – Thursday june 27th
(See all the photos larger at the end of the post) After a not too long journey, in better weather than expected, MetalFromNL arrived at the Jera campsite on Thursday afternoon. Fortunately, the weather forecasts were good, and it looked like we were in for a beautiful weekend. As you would expect on the first…

Meslamtaea & The Color Of Rain Split EP (review)
The Color Of Rain was last years’ surprise to me, and probably also the EP that I listened to the most last year. For people who’ve read my reviews before, you know I love progressive metal. I also like black metal a lot, so their unique blend of music is a perfect fit. Meslamtaea falls…

Everything Decays – Requiem1: The Serial Killer’s Symphony of Liberation, Deliverance and Relief (Review)
Releasedate 31.05.2024 Everything Decays started out under a different bandname, but have since released two singles and now, an EP. The EP with the forever-to-be-remembered impossibly long name ‘Requiem 1: The Serial Killer’s Symphony of Liberation, Deliverance and Relief, that is. Or, Requiem 1 for short. Let’s head into this serial killers tale and hear…

Can Abyss – Dedication
Releasedate: 14.05.2024 Can Abyss was a new name on our radar when we heard of their album ‘Dedication’, but it’s a band that has been active since 1994. It just took them 30 years to release this album, so it was definitely worth the listen. Let’s dive in! Dedication First of all, dig the name.…

Or Not – Violence&Grace
Release date: 07.06.2024 Or Not is a special band in more than one way. One of the reasons is the fact that the band plays the pretty unique genre Symphonic Thrash Metal. Another one of those reasons is that they are ambassadors for Energy4All, a foundation that fights the battle against mitochondrial diseases. Who is…

This time with pictures by Nicky van der Schaaf and a write-up by Ruben Baar. The theme of tonight is folk metal, a…

Aum Zorion – Aum Zorion
Releasedate: 01.06.2024 Aum Zorion plays instrumental post-metal. That means dreamy riffs, droning, dragging guitar parts, and tracks that seem to consist of endless variations on the same riff. It’s the perfect music to get lost in, to close your eyes and drift away in a lucid dream. Hints of black- and progressive influences jolt you…
