Dol recovering well, Nevelfest OK
Due to a fine bicycle-manoeuvre, our drummer Dol broke his wrist
a few weeks ago. Fortunately for us, it seems like he's recovering well.
Our gig at The Fronline (17.07.2005), however, had to be cancelled.
But, we will be able to play at Nevelfest.

Voila, de verklaring.

ik ben gisteren en vandaag met mijn ouders in gent geweest, gewoon voor de lol en bier drinken. En ze waren bezig met allerlei dingen aan het opbouwens voor de Gentse Feesten, het zag er wel indrukwekkend uit.

[Johannes de Dopeste]

Gisteren waren de optredens zeker niet mis.
Vond het jammer dat er geen cd's verkocht werden.
Het vinden van 10 euro maakte dat wel weer goed =).

Was quite surprised by Gwyllion, they gave a very decent sent. Although I think they were a stranger on the line-up. Can't say they play Heavy Metal. But already looking forward to see them again October 30th with The Prophecy @ the Frontline.

The French Crusader was amusing, still it all was a bit chaotic. But who cares, with a couple of beers they were quite nice. The Maiden and Slayer cover were laughable, still nice. Good to see they got most of the audience go wild on their sound.

The Belgian Crusader, damn what a mega-guitarist they have. The vocals were pretty boring and it's the first time I see a heavy metal band with a singer who's almost standing still and his hair in a pony tail. Man, go crazy on your own music.

Double Diamond - without any doubt the band of the night. These guys know how to play some decent Heavy Metal. They rock, they have a great stage act and they blast! This is the way Metal was meant to be.

Saw a couple of songs of Titan Steel, was not really impressed by them. Still they gave a nice gig. After a couple of beers it was time to go to sleep.

All in all a nice night of rockin' metal

TONIGHT: RATOS THE PAROA - hell yeah!
