In collaboration with Invisible Oranges we present to you the first single “Obsidious Veins” by the new Dutch experimental metal mining duo PROSPECTORS!
‘Proven Lands’ is the debut album by Prospectors wherein the Dutchmen mine the uncharted lands of extreme metal. Six compositions were recorded with session-drummer Michiel van der Plicht (Pestilence, Carach Angren, ex-God Dethroned) including “Obsidious Veins”, introducing their music with ferocious dissonance and musical ingenuity. In “Become Void” the synth takes over, evoking mystery and suspense. Then the push and pull that opens “Monolithic Structures” gradually turns into a blast beat driven hurricane and makes way for a rocking climax. With ‘Proven Lands’ the Dutchmen take you on a 33-minute trip that is cerebral yet emotive, familiar yet unknown.
In their own words:
“After playing in various (mostly black metal) bands for over a decade, we decided we wanted to try something different. Aware of the limitations we faced and sensing both of us desired to push the envelope conceptually, Prospectors was born. As Prospectors, we take an organic and dynamic sound and use it to explore new musical concepts. We take abstractions and translate these to solid, often dissonant, songs. In doing this we emphasize always putting the music first.”
Tracklist: 1. Ravelling Motion (4:30) 2. Obsidious Veins (4:52) 3. Descent into the Unknown (6:34) 4. Become Void (3:22) 5. Monolithic Structures (4:43) 6. Vortex (8:04) Total: (32:06)

In collaboration with Black Metal Promotion we bring you the third single “Witte Juffer”, link below:
Schavot (Dutch for scaffold) breathes the atmosphere of nature, which can be rough and ruthless, but also magical and full of beauty.
“Only the trees witnessed what happened in the distant past. Events, which to date are still told in folk tales. Old hollow oaks might whisper the story of witchcraft, perhaps they saw ‘Huttenkloas’ wandering the moors, looking for an unsuspecting merchant to rob and crush his skull with an axe. Torn old pines with dead branches might have seen the will-o’-the-wisps, that lured travelers into the depths of the marsh…”.
The Dutch punk rock band No Breakfast Goodbye is releasing a new single today! The track ‘No Dice’ is part of the upcoming split EP the band recorded during the lockdown period with their friends from Ink Bomb. It’s the second single the band releases after “The Losers Club”.
Singer Simon Janssen: “No Dice is actually an up-tempo break-up song. It was about time to put an end to that chapter once and for all. Corny isn’t it?”
