We are once again joining forces with Dordrecht Metal to treat the Dordrecht metal community to an evening of pure metal madness! We present a solid lineup with a diverse sound. Time to stock up on beers and get ready to headbang all night, because this night promises a merciless torrent of guitar violence that will leave you speechless.
Bands:
BURIED:
After a fresh start in 2024, featuring new drummer Tim Verheijden (Lucifericon) and their brand-new album *Imagined Deformation*, BURIED is once again ready to unleash their groovy and relentless death metal. Their music takes you on a dark descent into the human mind. Intense, uncompromising, and devastating.
Arising Rebellion
Arising Rebellion is a Dutch modern groove metal band that began as a solo project and evolved into a full band in 2022. In 2025, the band released its independent debut album, *This World Is Dying*, which laid the foundation for the band’s musical direction and live reputation. Since then, the band has continued to perform and work on new material. With the single “Deathtrap,” set to be released in July 2026 along with an accompanying music video, Arising Rebellion is taking the next step and offering a first glimpse into their new work.
"From the very first listen, the album is immediately compelling and flows effortlessly from start to finish."
— Zware Metalen, May 2026
Metal Active Gases
Hailing from Papendrecht, Metal Active Gases is a four-piece groove metal machine with thrash and melodic death metal influences.
After finalizing their lineup in 2021, they began working on their debut album, "A Damn Fine Welcome." This band fills the stage with technically sophisticated riffs and vocal harmonies, complemented by thunderous rhythms that you can feel right down to your toes.
Phlebotomized.
Their music is described as Progressive/Avant-garde Death/Doom Metal. This is going to be a special show. Phlebotomized was founded in 1989. In the years that followed, the band released albums including *Preach Eternal Gospels*, *Immense Intense Suspense*, and *Skycontact*. In 1997, the band called it quits, but they made a comeback in 2013. Since then, they’ve released the album *Deformation of Humanity* (2018), followed by the EP *Pain Resistance Suffering* and, in 2023, the album *Clouds of Conclusion*. The band recently decided to call it quits. Their very last show will take place on Saturday, October 3, during the Dordrecht Metal Fest. Expect an extensive setlist featuring both old and new material. In addition, several former band members will make an appearance as special guests.
Shinigami (死神)
Shinigami, which means "god of death" or "spirit of death" in Japanese, is a Dutch death thrash metal band that was formed in 2016. The band consists of experienced musicians with roots in bands such as Orphanage, Ancient Rites, Pestilence, Bleeding Gods, Silicon Head, Gizåh, Hee Hee Shamone, and Hordearii.
Instead of traditional death metal themes, Shinigami draws inspiration from Asian history, culture, warfare, and martial arts. With their aggressive sound and energetic live shows, they quickly built an international reputation, including two tours of Japan in 2017 and 2018.
The band is currently working on new material for their long-awaited album, which is set to be released in early 2027. In November 2026, Shinigami will also return to Japan for a new tour.
