Roadburn day 1\/4. Early to the party I guess. Oranssi Pazuzu will start off in a few moments, performing Muuntautuja. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kylesa on stage after a nine year hiatus. Not directly my cup of coffee, but they surprised me positively!

A black and white photo of a heavy metal concert shows the band Kylesa performing on stage. Bright stage lights radiate across the scene, casting dramatic beams through the smoke. Three band members are visible: two playing guitars on either side and one on drums in the center. A large, intense graphic featuring a monstrous skull-like face and the band’s name “KYLESA” is projected behind them. The audience is silhouetted in the foreground, watching the performance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Teardrinker did a secret show at the skate hall. The right side of history comes with raging sounds of resistance.


This was definitly the highlight performance of the day for me, which will be hard to top. Top 3 material.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Envy is criminally underrated. Impressive show once again, as I have seen them one before in #Nijmegen. Will catch them again today!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Day 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Roadburn day 2\/4. With a total of six full sets from early noon on, that was another exciting day. Didn’t forget to bring my earplugs today, so there was another chance to see and safely hear The Body do their works.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
First off was Throwing Bricks with Ontaard performing a Somethong To Lose set. Glad to have seen them, as I couldn’t be with the Throwing Bricks show last year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Heartwarming and soulful was the very, very impressive De Mannen Broeders set, with their beautiful choir. From the creative mind and Church of Ra \/ Amenra founding father Colin H van Eeckhout, together with Tonnie Dieleman.


“Wij zijn De Mannen Broeders en God zei dank bevat onze groep meer zusters.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
The HIRS Collective was one of the bands I had to see this year. The two of them crushed the stage with their grindcore crust punk alternated with 80’s and 90’s dancetracks. They managed to set a vibe here with their 30 (or 40) minute set. Moshpits are relatively rare at Roadburn, but this show had a serious one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Yes! A second Envy set. As I have seen them yesterday, I didn’t want to mis them today neither. What a wholesome, one of a kind band this is. Great set once again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Soooo…yeah…these earplugs definitely did their job, as this The Body show was really the ‘body’ of sound I expected. I have seen many LOUD performances in the past by bands like Sunn O))), Boris, Swans (Michael Gira and Kristof Hahn will play sunday!), Conan, etc. And this is definitely one for the ‘loudest concerts ever’ list. Also, I just loved the dark and grimm performance this duo left the audience with.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And to conclude the day Big Brave played a secret show at the skate hall! Glad to have seen this unique set by this impressive band, as I will probably not see them when they hit the big stage at The Terminal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Today was more of a layed back Roadburn day, with quite the nice surprises, of which some performances were have-to-sees and some simply blew me away unexpectedly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Talking about have-to-see bands; I was just in time to catch the D\u00f8dheimsgard show from the beginning, playing their masterpiece album Black Medium Current. Because of the symphonical tone of the album, this show could have been just a wall of sound, but it was a very clear and impressive performance! Glad to have seen then live.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
By surprise, I ended up at a Gillian Carter show. I have to say, I had to get used to their blackened hardcore sound and screams. But they ended up playing a very energetic and on-point show. And the audience presented the first serious circle-pit I saw this Roadburn edition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
The Uniform show was quite something. Apart from the show itself, this is my first encounter with this band, not having heared of them before. This band with Interpol and Couch Slut members manages to create a sound that struck me like a (very) blackened Idles combined with Daughters. Impressive set!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
\u00d8XN makes me want to be of Irish residence. This performance had the most lovely and emotional pagan folkloric vibes, with hints of The Wicker Man film, combined with hints of Lynchian sounds. But above all, \u00d8XN has it’s own unique way of story telling and creating dark soundscapes. Highly recommended!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Every year, Roadburn has it’s out-of-tune and out-of-vibe (headliner) bookings, which is always exciting, because that’s exactly what redefining heavyness is. This year, I guess Altin G\u00fcn is such a band. The Turkish folktunes with psychedellic folk twists made even the grimmest people in the audience shuffle their feet. Glad to have seen them live at this venue!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
So here we are at the last day of Roadburn 2025. Starting with a pic of my hardcopy ticket and an original artprint for the next edition! You have to hold on to something in life, especially these days. 361 days to go…but not before looking back into the last day of this year’s edition of Roadburn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Today started with the Vuur & Zijde show, performing their album Boezem. Beforehand, their music doesn’t really seem to be my cup of coffee, but this band really showed they are more than worth it giving them another try, which I know I will do. With members of Laster and Terzij de Horde (!).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Yes. Bacht’n de Vuile Moane brings the lo-fi, minimal lompness, which I’m looking for in my black metal. This somewhat reminded me of the sounds of Kwade Droes, only kind of more minimal \u00e1nd synthy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
I have seen #Swans two times before and Kristof and Michael perform in the big church in my hometown #Nijmegen before.


What I loved about this specific show, were the clear elements of country music involved within their inhumanly loud sound.

Conversation between the two that could only be heared from the front of the stage:
Kristof: “Should we leave?”
Michael: “No. Kris. We should not leave. We should stay and try to remember WHAT THE F*** WE’RE DOIN’ HERE.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
The art and folk of Cinder Well. For sure, she has by far the most impressive venue-artposter (I will post the print later on). But this performace was gentle, touching, Both Godly and paganized at the same instance. This minimalist fingerpicking was kind of hallucinating. I really loved it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Black\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Bombstrap came up to do a secret show at the skate hall. This encounter was what I needed. Some art makes you feel understood. And some people understand this art. Protect trans kids with your punk-ass and free Palestine for the sake of their and your own existence. Or else f*** off.


Respect Existence or Expect Resistance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"A\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>
Closing it all down, Greet (formerly the drummer in anti-fascist black metal band Dawn Ray’d!) gifted a melancholical rite, celebrating myths and paganism. All I could think about, is how Roadburn is a Summer Isle in the middle of the most cruel world. An isle of respect, love and inclusion. An isle of darkness defining all colors of life, existence, art and everything beyond. Black is where all colors are combined.


I’m a lifelover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
