Becoming A.D.
Hailing from Northeast Belgium, Becoming A.D. is a 4-piece crossover band, delivering a crushing mix of hard-hitting mosh breaks and relentless neck-snapping thrashy metalcore riffs. Lyrically the band dives deep into themes of despair, self-doubt, abuse of authority and exploitation.
Hometown Crew

Since their formation in 2014, the band has been playing shows all over Europe and working on perfecting their unique sound, which combines influences from bands like Go It Alone, Bane, Modern Life is War, and Carry On.
Cold Grip

Coalmine Canary Album release show + Inferum + Bottled Violence
Altstadt, Thursday, April 2 at 07:30 PM GMT+2
Tired of the same old sh*t? So is Coalmine Canary. Obliterating the norm by feverishly melting together mathcore, noise-punk and schizophrenic stage-acrobatics, in what can only be described as a completely unhinged live spectacle. Mildly concerning, overwhelmingly immersive.
Now releasing their debut album titled "On Today's Weather Forecast: EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE" with a releaseshow in Eindhoven, joined by Inferum and Bottled Violence.

ANKLEBITERS EP RELEASE SHOW + FIVE MINUTE MARCH & CENTREPIECE COLOURISED
Astrant Ede, Saturday, April 4 at 07:45 PM GMT+2
Edese band ANKLEBITERS timmert al 4 jaar aan de weg en wist in die tijd een keiharde live reputatie op te bouwen. Moshpits vanaf het eerste nummer gegarandeerd. Op 3 april brengen ze hun tweede EP ‘Broken Porcelain’ uit en dit moet natuurlijk keihard gevierd worden met een show op 4 april in homebase Astrant! Met lokale rockband Five Minute March en Psychedelic rockband Centrepiece Colourised in het voorprogramma wordt dit een avond die je niet wil missen!
ANKLEBITERS
Het podium is voor ANKLEBITERS als een open veld, waar alle opgekropte energie van de dagelijkse sleur zijn uitlaat vindt. Gevoed door een gevarieerd punk-dieet, beet deze hondsdolle alternatieve punkband zich al vast in podia als Merleyn en dB’s en is het Edese vijftal nu klaar om een tandje bij te zetten op hun tweede EP “BROKEN PORCELAIN”
“Punk met een hoofdletter P” – 3voor12 Leiden
Five Minute March
Wéér 9 tot 5. Wéér de sleur. Wéér morgen. Five Minute March is om 6 uur de kroeg uit strompelen op een woensdagochtend. Schaterlachen terwijl je huis in de fik staat. Het uitschreeuwen, maar niemand die je horen wil.
Met snoeiharde gitaren en gierende vocalen neemt 5MM het één avond allemaal weg. Verlies jezelf in de moderne rocksound en meeslepende teksten van deze vierkoppige Utrechtse formatie.
Voor fans van: Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters en Queens of the Stone Age.
Centrepiece Colourised
Centrepiece Colourised is a five headed psychedelically fuelled beast of a band, combining mythical anthems with earth shattering energy to deliver an unforgettable requiem to the stage. Blending, bending and shaping different genres into their own
authentic musical concoction. One sip is all it takes to be utterly and overtly enchanted.
The writing proces starts on paper, with conceptual stories that later get shaped into songs. Their first album “Entering Yur Taghär” is one of these conceptual fairy tales given life. A story about how greed corrupted an ancient city, and how evil lurks behind surface level goodness.
Inspired by King Gizzard’s creativity and fun, Altin Gün’s psychedelic energy and John Frusciante’s rawness. Centrepiece Colourised creates their own world colour. Get ready to trip and mosh till you drop. -

[Cancelled] CATHARSIS (US) + SEEIN RED + INSIDE JOB
OCCII, Thursday, March 19 at 08:00 PM GMT+1
The band has issued the following statement;
“To our dismay, the drummer of Catharsis fractured his tibula during the snowstorm that hit the Northeastern US last week. There is not enough time for him to recover before the tour dates that Catharsis has booked in Europe, so we are reluctantly rescheduling the tour.
We will be back in touch with more details soon, and to address other issues that have come up about this tour.
Thank you very much to everyone who has helped with arranging these dates. The members of Catharsis apologize for any inconvenience this could cause. They are eager to continue playing and doing their part in our community.” – catharsis
Everybody that bought a TICKET, all INFO about REFUND soon in the MAIL!!!
CATHARSIS (Dark Hardcore, USA)
“no gods, no masters”
Anarchist hardcore band from North Carolina, playing together for over three decades. | New LP out called Hope against Hope. | Against all—for all.Desperate times call for desperate measures. Taking up arms against a wave of authoritarianism and despair, North Carolina’s premier hardcore band, Catharsis, has recorded a new full-length album, „Hope Against Hope.“
This record picks up where their last material left off, continuing to push the envelope for what hardcore can do. Catharsis don’t retread the ground they broke on their previous albums, but press forward into ever more abrasive and dynamic territory. Politically, they remain uncompromisingly radical in their lives as well as lyrics. This is not a band that has slowed down, toned down, or mellowed out.
Sticking to their roots in the do-it-yourself underground, they are releasing the album through CrimethInc. in the United States, Refuse in Europe, and No Gods No Masters in South America. The band recorded the drums with Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios and tracked the rest themselves. For the backing vocals, Catharsis tapped the vocalists of some of their favourite hardcore bands: Poland’s Next Victim, Brazil’s Point of No Return, and North Carolina’s own Scarecrow and Vittna. Mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studio and mastered by Scott Crouse, „Hope Against Hope“ is as explosive as our times.
Twenty-four years have passed since Catharsis released their last record, the split LP featuring “Arsonist’s Prayer,” though they did complete another song from that session for their discography in 2012. But they have been playing regularly together since 2013, adding Jimmy Chang (of Undying and Sect), who left the band in 1995, to the line-up that recorded the “Passion” LP. It was high time to record another album, making the most of material that has come together across two decades. In fact, Catharsis has never sounded better.
“Hope Against Hope” is an assault on a self-destructing society and a beacon of inspiration for all who are determined to survive.
SEEIN RED
short, fast & loud.Pure fast uncompromising DIY hardcore punk and anarcho communist socialist lyrics since ’88. No shut up and play, but a sincere voice fighting the system of capitalism. These NL cult HC pioneers don’t live in the past but take it no holds barred to the present: a sonic power A-bomb!

Chaser + Ink Bomb
Willem Twee, Wednesday, June 10 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
Melodic punkrock met een open hart en een positieve lading: Chaser komt recht uit Zuid-Californië en speelt punk zoals het bedoeld is. Snel, melodieus en doordrenkt van vriendschap, energie en overtuiging. Wat begon als een hechte vriendengroep groeide uit tot een band die wereldwijd indruk maakt met shows die even intens als oprecht zijn.
Sinds 2018 tourt Chaser onafgebroken door Europa, Canada en de Verenigde Staten. Ze stonden in uitverkochte clubs en op grote punk- en hardcorefestivals, waar ze een reputatie opbouwden als liveband die je niet wilt missen. Niet door groot vertoon, maar door verbinding. Hun shows voelen als een gezamenlijke uitlaatklep waarin punk, hardcore, metal en rock samenkomen.
Op het podium is Chaser energiek en meeslepend, maar altijd toegankelijk. Hun muziek is opzwepend zonder cynisch te worden, krachtig zonder hard te hoeven zijn. Het resultaat is een set die verbindt, optilt en je met hernieuwde energie de zaal uitstuurt.
10 jaar, snoeiharde shows en geen greintje punkcliché. De Nijmeegse punkrockers van Ink Bomb brengen snelle, agressieve tracks vol melodie en melancholie. Met hun album Saudade en shows door heel Europa zijn ze meer dan klaar om Den Bosch op z’n kop te zetten.Geschikt voor liefhebbers van: Rise Against, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Strike Anywhere.

Bas Rotten:
PREDATORY GRIND TANK!!! This fierce quintet was formed in2017 and besides the demo, the guys have recorded their debut album"Surge", which is gathering nothing but positive reactions from all over the world!!! And it's a fucking roller of total grindcore mixed with maximally catchy mosh crossover passages.
"These guys are fierce, fast, they hit hard and, that's right, they are a lot of fun" - Bas Rutten - Heavyweight Champion of everything.

www.vitaminx.bandcamp.com/NÂO
Hard-hitting, female-fronted international d-beat hardcore punk based in Bremen, Germany. Heavily influenced by classic 1980s Finnish, Scandinavian and Brazilian hardcore.

Modder / CCHHRRIISSTTOODD / Afgrond
Resistor Leiden, Saturday, February 28 at 09:00 PM GMT+1
Modder are returning to Resistor to present their new album "Destroying Ourselves For A Place In The Sun" with support coming by industrial hip-hop artist CCHHRRIISSTTOODD and Haarlem's post-sludgers Afgrond!
Modder (BE):
MODDER is a five-piece sludge & doom formation hailing from Ghent, Belgium. With riffs designed to make your neck break, supported by thundering basslines, grooving drums, industrialist samples and synths, they forge a unique sound in the sludge landscape.
With their third full length: 'Destroying Ourselves For A Place In The Sun’, (October 2025) Modder has once again pushed the boundaries for themselves.
Building upon the previous and widely praised album 'The Great Liberation Through Hearing', the new work is perhaps an even bigger statement.
And in doing so, the combination of 'Sludge' (and by extension all sorts of metal variants) with the even more refined electronic Psy elements comes awfully close to a perfect symbiosis!CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (BE):
CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (pronounced “Christ O.D.” with a stutter) is the solo project of Ghent-based tattoo-artist-turned-musician Berry Bleck. His distinctive beats provide a bed for eclectic lyrics covering topics ranging from his struggles with depression and apathy to dreamlike descriptions of drug-fueled psychedelic trips.
A multidisciplinary artist, Bleck meticulously curates the project’s aesthetic himself, incorporating pieces of his own artwork and distinct style into each release. Constantly shifting between two worlds — the physical and the fantasy — CCHHRRIISSTTOODD has proved to be an undoubtedly unique blend of industrial
hip-hop, rap, witch house, and even rave. Live, his shows incorporate even more of this duality than ever: he draws his energy from the crowd, his mood shifting from euphoria to downright fury, each word dripping with intent to deliver a convincing
performance.https://cchhrriissttoodd.bandcamp.com/
Afgrond (NL):
Vile and earthshaking Post-Sludge/Doom Metal from Haarlem. Originally formed as an instrumental three-piece in a former abbattoir, AFGROND really came together when their vocalist joined. Creating high volume, low tuned riffs combined with growling dutch vocals, the Haarlem based band released their debut album Verdronken Hemelen (Drowned Heavens) on 21 March 2025 via Geertruida Records. Inspired by the likes of Tesa, ISIS, Amenra, Ufomammut etc, AFGROND will guide you down into the abyss that awaits all.

It was high time to record another album, making the most of material that has come together across two decades. In fact, Catharsis has never sounded better.
"Hope Against Hope" is an assault on a self-destructing society and a beacon of inspiration for all who are determined to survive.
SEEIN' RED
Dutch Legendary hardcore punk band SEEIN RED formed in 1988 after LÄRM called it quits. We are a D.I.Y. Underground Hardcore Punk Noise Attack with cutting political protest lyrics. We are reds with anarchistic tendencies laced in. Always anti-fascist! Fast as fuck and absolutely pissed at the state of things. this is the perfect encapsulation of why punk remains relevant, both as musical genre and as a social movement.BEZETTE STAD
Belgian hardcore band BEZETTE STAD has been releasing music for about five years now. They have a new EP “El Mundo Kaput” coming up. Their latest release expect articulate hardcore blended with D-beat, as if PAINT IT BLACK started hanging out with DISCHARGE.
KARNABAHAR
De in Nederland gevestigde band Karnabahar (Bloemkool in het Turks), met leden uit Argentinië, Turkije, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Nederland, vond elkaar in hun gedeelde liefde voor old school 90's/00's screamo en Balkan en Anatolische volksmuziek. Verwacht melancholische melodieën en chaotische ritmes.
RADICAL VITALITY
Unforgiving hysterical harsh noise sound explorations through heavy electronics. Gruesome experiments in the form of total musical destruction.https://calendar.askapunk.nl/event/arra-scum-fest-catharsis-us-seein-red-more-tba

Nerf Herder & Antillectual in Den Haag
PAARD, Tuesday, June 2 at 07:30 PM GMT+2
Nerf Herder, pionier van de late jaren 90′ Poppunk en geekrock genres, komt op 2 Juni 2026 naar onze Kleine Zaal! Misschien zijn ze het best bekend als ‘die band van die de titeltrack van Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ , maar Nerf Herder werd in 1996 opgepikt door Arista Records nadat hun ironische ode Van Halen de Modern Rock-charts bestormde. De clip van opvolger Sorry was op z’n beurt een vaste MTV-hit. In deze clip zie je Mark hamill en Miguel Ferrer, een ludieke verwijzing naar Star Wars die gezien de bandnaam ergens te verwachten was.
Dit jaar viert de band het 30-jarig jubileum van hun self-titled debuutalbum met een speciale Europese tour, inclusief oud materiaal. Ter ere van dit jubileum is een nieuwe akoestische versie van het debuutalbum opgenomen door oprichters Steve Sherlock en Parry Gripp, samen met vaste bandleden Ben Pringle en Linus Dotson. Deze zal op vinyl verkrijgbaar zijn bij de shows.
Support van Antillectual, punk rock uit Nijmegenhttps://www.paard.nl/event/nerf-herder/

Heel Nijmegen Plat: De Paraplufabrieken
Paraplufabrieken, Saturday, February 14 at 07:30 PM GMT+1
We have another cool CIN night, at (ex squatted) autonomous space, De Paraplu Fabriek Plupub!
This is a very special show for us. Local bands and friends in solidarity, have gathered and will line up to throw a free entry benefit show as part of the @heelnijmegenplat festival to raise funds for Buying the Grote Broek! Yes! Donations (cash or digital) at the entrance are welcome to support the buying of the building de Grote Broek!
On Donation for Grote Broek
19:30 sharp! Venue is small, come early and be ready!
De Plupub (located in de Paraplufabrieken)Krime
Krime is a very Nijmegen local band, featuring ex members of Citizens Patrol and Brat Pack. Their sound goes back to the mid eighties. Fierce punk with a hardcore backbeat, but keeping it fresh with a Cali melody and even some Motorhead influences in it. They might even drop a d-beat or two.Sjonnie en he Talent
Put the hopeless teenage dreams of a pack of stray dogs into the blender, turn it on, and what you get: Sjonnie.Politically charged lyrics wrapped in childish punk melodies!
Krimewave
Krimewave is the new fav HC band, with members from all over the Netherlands, from Forbidden Wizards, Real Farmer, BombStrap and Rats on Rafts. They got fierce influences and will make you mosh like crazy. You can even throw the singer on the drumset, they'll make a banger show.The show will finish at 23.00 so you have plenty of time to catch one of the afterparties of Heel Nijmegen Plat
