The Shadow Over Belgium: Beherit Ascends

For over thirty years, Beherit has reigned as the most enigmatic entity in the black metal pantheon. Like a raven-black Sun King, they dominated the 1990s, casting a long, innovative shadow over the global extreme metal landscape. Though their name once graced a Belgian poster in the past, the stage remained empty, until now. VIERNULVIER, De Pankraker and Only Death Is Real are coming together to write history. For the first time ever, the Finnish pioneers will set foot on Belgian soil. 

A Legacy of Audacity 

Founded in Rovaniemi in 1989 by Marko Laiho (Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance) alongside Jari Vaarala(Demonic Fornication) and Jari Pirinen (Sodomatic Slaughter), Beherit emerged from the frozen Finnish underground with a singular ambition: to push extreme metal beyond its known limits. 

Their journey is one of restless evolution. The primitive roots: raw, uncompromising early demos that defined the genre's ferocity. The masterpiece: The 1993 album Drawing Down the Moon remains the epitome of black metal. A testament to the fact that "the" black metal sound does not exist. It is a genre defined by its refusal to be molded, constantly swaying between radical innovation and dark tradition. The atmospheric shift: Mid-90s experimentation that proved Beherit’s artistic independence. 

The Ritual Begins 

Beherit has maintained a reputation for intensity and absolute creative freedom. From their early chaos to the atmospheric depths of their modern-era revival, their discography has left an indelible imprint on the world. 


“Black metal is not a mold; it is a movement that navigates the void between renewal and tradition." Prepare yourself for a monumental event. The wait of three decades is over.

About Bacht’n de Vulle Moane

Fuck, humanity is pathetic... "We could either choose to keep our heads down, get violent, or start a new band. We chose the latter." Bacht’n de Vulle Moane was to be the name.

Their music is raw, unpolished emotions, like textured goop oozing from an old wound, combining the feral intensity of black metal with the pulsating oscillations of electronics.
Struggle, decay and sarcasm. Anger, despair and fuckin’ sunshine. Two opposing forces. One tirelessly optimistic and hoping for a better future. Alas, in vain, as the other force pulls harder - telling us everything’s fucked up.

Two spirits. SCM and A.A.K. It took them more than 20 years to realise they should start a band together. Their escape? Loud fucking noise.
Does it hurt? Yes! Does is make you uneasy? Good! Loud noise is fuckin’ hope.

Formed in 2024 in Belgium (Kortrijk and Ghent), their first album, Klaagrituelen, was released in 2025.
Their new album Verdwazing Der Dwazen, will be released by Into Endless Chaos Records (CHAOS108) and De Pankraker (DPK 012) on 1st September (vinyl, CD and cassette)

About Alkerdeel

Alkerdeel blends the ferocity of Scandinavian black metal with crushing doom, punk and even psychedelia. Raw, uncompromising, straight out of the Flemish mud. Twenty years of ‘je m’en fou’, and yet – or perhaps precisely because of that – a household name in the international extreme underground.

With five albums and a series of splits, released via Consouling Sounds and Babylon Doom Cult Records, they have built up an impressive track record. In 2022 they headlined the Dome at Roadburn, followed by House of the Holy in the Austrian mountains and A Sinister Purpose in Leipzig – just a small selection of the cult festivals where their name now belongs.

Alkerdeel on stage is not a concert. It is blisteringly loud, brutally raw and merciless. Only live is real.
