Paardcafé: White Knuckle Grip, Ann My Dice & Out of The Blue

ANN MY DICE is a five-piece metalcore band from the Netherlands. The band combines powerful riffs and crushing breakdowns with melodies that linger in your head long after you’ve heard them. Lyrically, Ann My Dice draws inspiration from the way we as humans treat ourselves, each other — and above all, the earth. With a critical view of the era we live in, the band offers both a warning and a glimmer of hope, calling on friends and foes alike to take action.

WHITE KNUCKLE GRIP is a hardcore groove metal band formed in 2024. The Rotterdam quartet — Sebastian Rengifo Rodriguez [vocals], Joey Roodenburg [bass], Aleksi Nardo [drums], and Olivier Klein [guitar] — uses groove-driven riffs, introspective lyrical themes, and dynamic song structures to create a sound that is both abrasive and emotionally charged.

OUT OF THE BLUE is a four-piece hardcore/beatdown band from the Netherlands and Belgium, formed in January 2024. We are known for our hard mix of both genres and bring brutal energy and clanging riffs. For us, it’s all about mosh pits and having fun together.
