VENERATION OF THE DEAD part three: ABYSSIC BLACK CULTSaturday 4 + Sunday 5 april (easter weekend)
Venue: Baroeg, Rotterdam (The Netherlands)
Saturday 4-4-2015:
BARATHRUM - Their shows are rare and notorious. You can imagine we are extremely proud to have Barathrum for the first show outside of Scandinavia/Baltic States since 1997! Now, the band returns to The Netherlands with their trademark (very) possessed midtempo jetblack metal.
COUNTESS - By special request of former label mates Barathrum, Countess returns to Veneration one year after their live comeback, to play an exclusive 1993-1997 set, meaning only songs from the first four albums and the "Hell's rock and roll" EP. Back in 1997 the bands toured together in Europe with Sabbat (Japan) - who would ever thought to see these bands share the stage once more? This is a once in lifetime event. "What once was, shall be again"!
LUGUBRUM - Already for the first edition in 2013 they were among the top of our wishlist, so we're pleased it finally worked out. The band is currently finishing the new album "Herval" and will play new material in the new lineup. Lugubrum plays boersk blek metle since 1992.
INQUISITOR - Hysterical and aggressive death/thrash! Inquisitor was recently reborn in the one and only original line-up. After they originally split up in the 90s, some members continued under the name Centurian while others went to Ancient Rites, but with the recent re-release of their debut Inquisitor are back in the frontlines!
ENTARTUNG - Entartung released two albums through the World Terror Comittee, but let their music and lyrics do the talking, since noone knows who they are. This is going to be the first (and who knows only?) show of Entartung ever...
DODENKROCHT - Combining the massive sound of funeral doom with the pure hatred of black metal. This will surely appeal to those into Nightbringer, Manes, Nortt and "Filosofem"-era Burzum.
Doors 15:00, Schedule TBA
Sunday 5-4-2015 (1st easter day):
ROTTING CHRIST - Rotting Christ chose specifically for our venue and offered to do a special set of songs from the 1989-1996 era only. They will bring The Netherlands this day an unforgettable set of Hellenic darkness.
INFERNO - Inferno have set out on a tumultous journey towards their own massive sounding, culminating into their sixth album "Omniabsence through filled by his greatness". The music itself stands as a proud monument - cacophonous, in some places dissonant passages go hand in hand with a delicate use of psychedelia and straightforward black metal. Prepare to be overwhelmed.
CIRITH GORGOR - Without a doubt one of the biggest names when it comes to Dutch black metal. Traditional black metal for almost 20 years, the band never wimped out and plays their own style with recognizable melodies, fury and aggression. Special release show of the Cirith Gorgor / Kjeld split 7" to be released by Heidens Hart / Aratron!
IBEX ANGEL ORDER - From the ashes of Funeral Goat arose a vessel for the expression of occult practices and magickal workings by means of Satanic black metal.
BLOOD RED FOG - Morbid black metal from Finland with their first show outside of the Northern territories. Blood Red Fog plays melancholic, mid tempo black metal - bleak and obscure material, inspired by death in all its manifestations. The band recently did a minitour in Finland with Blackdeath.
GESTALTE - Pure traditional and melancholic black metal for devotees of Burzum, Mgla, Funeral Winds. Their debut album "Ashes of the soul" was summoned in 2013 by Heidens Hart Records.
Doors 14:00, Schedule TBA
