Walpurgisnacht

1. Dutch Black Metal band:
Walpurgisnacht is a Melodic Black Metal band from Holland, Netherlands. They play a raw old style black metal, but combine this with a melancholic and epic touch, which is expressed in the melodic style of guitar riffing. Inspiration for both music and lyrics is mainly drawn from some obscure Dutch legends and the (original) grim and gloomy quality of "De Peel" - a once huge and impenetrable area of marshes, moors, fens and woods in the south of the Netherlands.

Terzij de Horde

TERZIJ DE HORDE combine an amalgam of progressive black and doom metal with a rawness and live presence reminiscent of extreme hardcore or chaotic screamo.

Terzij de Horde is old Dutch for “set apart from the horde”. It is a line from the poem “Einde” (ending) by legendary Dutch poet Hendrik Marsman. Marsman is an inspiration to the band, as are many other authors and philosophers in the same dark, vitalistic vein.

Mondvolland

Mondvolland stands for black metal with a unique and non-typical character, combining both scream, lower grunt and different styles of clean vocals. The lyrics and atmosphere of the music bring back olden times of the birthplace of its founding members. Having started out as a more folk-focused concept in 2006, Mondvolland, since 2010 a solid foursome, stands for a more atmospheric and layered side of black metal. For live shows, energy and dedication are keywords.
