SATANIC WITCH
Brussels-based Satanic Witch is born from the shadows where black metal, doom, and industrial rock merge into one cold, hazy and ritualistic entity. Supernaturally charged with a heart that beats in both pure black metal and haunting ambience, their sound balances between the ominous and the alluring — a dance of darkness and clean melodies that emerge from an atmosphere steeped in passion and organic manifestation.
Formed by Shaun Van Calster (Length of Time) and Michel Kirby (Wolvennest), Satanic Witch channels the spiritual intensity of extreme music through a lens that is both esoteric and raw. With influences that span from icy minimalism to dense sonic cathedrals, the project embraces the full spectrum of sound and feeling — where nothing is prohibited and every note is part of a sonic ritual.
Satanic Witch is not just a band, but an invocation of the void — a descent into hypnotic trance, dirge-laden rhythms, and spectral soundscapes. It is a communion of distortion and devotion, forged in the heart of Brussels but echoing far beyond.

DUDSEKOP
Dudsekop is a Belgian black metal band from Ypres, founded in 2021. The band originally started as a COVID solo project by Josh Fury. It quickly evolved into a full line-up, blending raw black metal with metalcore influences.
Under the banner of "West Flemish koavezworte metal", Dudsekop storms through the black metal scene with fierce intensity. The band delivers pitch-black, crushing, and anything but conventional black metal, always with a distinct and recognizable twist.
In 2022, they released their debut album Liksems, fully written by Josh Fury and recorded together with drummer Bert Guillemont. The result was a scorched-black gem that didn’t cling rigidly to traditional black metal but offered a fresh and surprising sound. All lyrics were sung entirely in the Ypres dialect — a daring but highly successful choice.
A year later, the EP Plukkevort followed, continuing the catchy and straightforward style of the debut, but sounding even darker and heavier. Several tracks from Plukkevort were later reworked for their second album Wuk Emme Nog Van Leevn (2024), through which Dudsekop once again confirmed their quality and unique identity.
On March 14, 2025, Dudsekop released the single Kruss as a first taste of their upcoming EP Godvergeten, reaffirming that they are an unstoppable force within Belgian metal.
On April 25, the full Godvergeten EP was released, heralding a new series of brutal and intense live shows.

THRONUM VRONDOR
Thronum Vrondor was forged in 2005 to channel raw, uncompromising black metal. After the early assaults Vrondor I (2006) and Vrondor II (2008), the band carved a darker, more oppressive path.
With SvN joining on vocals, Ichor (The Rebellion) (2019) unleashed a colder, more violent sound.
In the early 2020s, Thronum Vrondor brought their intensity to the stage for the first time, translating their suffocating atmosphere into a live ritual.
Dies Tenebrosa Sicut Nox (2021) dragged the listener deeper into absolute darkness and recently Thronum Vrondor return with Drowning in The Distorted Light (2025) — a merciless descent into chaos, sorrow, and total devastation.
The ritual resumes — Thronum Vrondor will once again summon darkness on stage.

NDGHD
Formed in the depths of Brussels' underground scene by DVC in 2024, NDGHD (Eindigheid) is a force that embodies the oppressive weight of darkness in both sound and spirit. The band's name, derived from the Dutch word for "finality" (Eindigheid), reflects their exploration of life’s inexorable end and the emotional weight of human mortality. NDGHD merges the bleak, atmospheric qualities of black metal with the crushing weight of doom, creating a sound that is as hypnotic as it is harrowing.
Committed to their mission of exploring the furthest reaches of existential dread, the inevitability of death, and the eerie beauty that lies within that darkness
NDGHD’s music is an embodiment of despair, pulling elements from the black metal tradition blended with slow, sludgy grooves and melancholic heaviness. Their sound takes listeners through slow-burning, somber passages that erupt into moments of savage intensity, creating a sonic landscape that feels simultaneously suffocating and transcendent. The band’s lyrics explore existential themes such as isolation, the inevitability of death, and the fleeting nature of existence.
NDGHD (Eindigheid) is a reminder that we are all bound by time, that the end is certain, and that within that darkness, we must find meaning—if meaning exists at all.
