Cognitive Decline and ORKZ BAR join forces and present to you:
Stomp Stomp STOMP; three bands coming to ORKZbar bringing three types of distinct stomping.

Hailing from the Ruhr, MORBID MOSH ATTACK will bring their crust assault back to Groningen, blasting us with relentless riffing, sonically reminiscent of 90s US crust outfits like Disrupt and State of Fear. After over half a decade since their last visit to Groningen we’re happy to have them back. These are the bands we need in our current day: political, loud, and heavy!

Meanwhile no strangers to the trenches of the north anymore, RATTENBURCHT will turn the dark night even darker, guiding us only by the illuminating lights of their candles and the screeches from the furthest dungeons of the rat castle.

Formed in the mid-80s and named after a Motörhead song, MEAN MACHINE have been bringing us back to hell already since a couple of years. This is unadulterated heavy metal, ”ongenuanceerd beukwerk”, by lack of a better translation.

Aufhebung x Pesticide

1 Mar

Aufhebung from Brussels brings us slow sludgy riffs and frantic screeching guitars, melancholic harmonies and dissonant droning. Reflective of a world in decay.

Also from Belgium, melodic crustband Pesticide joins us this evening! Their music is inspired by anarchism, activism, DIY-culture and social themes – so a perfect fit in the Orkz Bar.
