Line up:

Bodyfarm (NL)
After they released the reccord ‘Battle Breed’ in 2015, the band played a lot of shows. Unfortunately the band had to take a big break due to illness of their singer/guitarist. But they are back, and in 2018 they will show The Hague what death metal looks and sounds like.

Human Error (UK)
This will be the first performance ever in The Netherlands for the English band Human Error. This Slamming Deathcore band plays the faster and harder spectrum. Expect heavy break- downs and almost danceable slams.

The Modern Age Slavery (IT)
With influences of Cannibal Corpse and Decapitated, this Italian band got a lot of favourable criticism from international press. The Modern Age Slavery was founded in 2007 and since then they released three albums, of wich ‘Stygian‘ is their latest.

Apophys (NL)
Netherlands based death metal act, Apophys, boasts members of renowned Dutch bands including God Dethroned and Toxocara. The band formed in 2012 and have since been surgically carving their path in the modern death metal scene. Apophys prioritizes song structure above technicality, and strives to become part of the new standard in death metal.

Astrarot (PL)
The Polish band Astrarot was founded in 2012 in the neighbourhood of Leszno. With Vica on drums, Lauri on guitar and Pawolun of bass, they sound like the kind of band that belongs in the old school death metal genre.

Human Vivisection (BE)
With the die-hard and brutal ‘The Perpetual Gap’, the Belgian band Human Vivisection makes every fan of brutal death metal enthusiastic.

Modus Operandi (NL)
After a couple of years of making death metal, guitarst Ben Ouwerkerk and singer Dennis Kuiper decided it was time for something new. Together with guitar/bassist Wesley Brizee, they started the search for a style of music they all favoured. It turned out to be the combination of death metal and slam. At this moment in time, the band is working on their debut single and they are ready to perform their music to the audience.

Gorefunest, A Gorefest Tribute (NL)
A tribute to the legendary Dutch death metal band Gorefest. The band will take the audience back to 1993 and they’ll give an energetic show with the amazing music of Gorefest.
