ALKERDEEL
What do you do when the music you want to hear is nowhere to be found? You just play it yourself. That was Alkerdeel's starting point 18 years ago: fusing the icy sound of Norwegian Darkthrone with the heavy doom sound of American Burning Witch.
If the gentlemen had any ambition at all, it did not extend beyond their garage door. Five records and several splits via Consouling Sounds and Babylon Doom Cult Records later, Alkerdeel has become an unstoppable force. Their sound has evolved into a dirty mix of all the extreme that can be found in the metal genre. With success: in 2023 they got to close the Dome Hall of the renowned Roadburn festival, and a couple of months later, they surpassed the creaking glaciers at the kvlter than kvlt House of the Holy festival in the Austrian mountains. At the moment we’re writing a new album, live concerts are sparse. Their credo: only live is real - only first take is real.

KLUDDE
Kludde was formed in 2001, rooted in the second wave of Black Metal and inspired by local folklore. Taking its name from a demonic shapeshifter haunting riverbanks at night, the band quickly gained underground attention with the 2002 demo “Langs Scheld- en Denderland” and the 2004 split release “De Verdoken Waarheid”. Early shows became notorious for their raw, chaotic and confrontational energy.
With the debut full-length “In den Vergetelheid” (2008), Kludde expanded their sound with darker atmospheres and doom influences, sharing stages with acts like My Dying Bride, Amon Amarth, Shining and Asphyx. After a period of silence, the band returned stronger with “In de Kwelm” (2019), combining the aggression of the early years with more refined songwriting.
Their third album “De Horla” (2023) pushed further into atmospheric territory while remaining fierce and uncompromising. Released together with an illustrated artbook and animated visuals by artist Wesley Dewanckel, “De Horla” became a landmark in the band’s storytelling and live presence, with performances at Alcatraz Festival, Ieper Hardcore Fest and more.
In 2024 Kludde joined forces with A Thousand Sufferings for the conceptual split “Het Pact”, telling the haunting story of the De Vis family from Aalst. With deep roots, a strong identity and a reputation for intense live shows, Kludde continues to carve its own path in the Black Metal underground.

BLODZALLOG
Blodzallog exists to emphasise the horrors of physicality and transience through repetitive hammering and synthesised doom.
Spawned from a singular interpretation of black/death metal, the band has been evolving their brand of low end tremolo hell over the past few years.
With currently only a 2-song demo out, there's surely much more to come...!

APOVRASMA
Founded by a Belgian musician who goes by the name of Scum, APOVRASMA spoils the listener with a wide sonic spectrum, ranging from Greek-inspired black metal to immersive soundscapes - at times hypnotic and psychedelic, at others blisteringly intense and unrelenting.
APOVRASMA does not perform live a lot but we've seen them, and you don't want to miss this! Scum is joined by guest musicians from ALKERDEEL, Bacht'n de Vulle Moane, and Matavitatau, promising a performance as boundary-pushing as it is immersive.
