Best gigs of 2018

Dear all,

2018 except being rich in new releases & artists, it was also super rich in gigs as well. During the year, we have been to more than 30 gigs, watched over 130 performances in 2 countries (Greece & Holland) and visited more than 20 venues in 8 different cities. Well, one thing is for sure; in Tzertzelos, we really love gigs! And we believe that in gigs people gain experiences more than just watching their favorite artist’s performance; they meet other people with similar musical taste, have the opportunity to meet their favorite artists & exchange opinions on things, it is way more than just seeing a performance. As an individual, i started going to gigs & taking photos, initially from my mobile phone, where the results weren’t good enough. Then, i got a starter Sony digital camera and later purchased my Canon, accompanied with different lenses. The gigs allowed me to get an interest in photography, a hobby that i wouldn’t fall in love with if i wouldn’t go to gigs; so for me, going to gigs is a quite valuable & life changing sport.

In this article, i would like to present photographic material from 17 amazing gigs i have been during 2018. For each gig, i provide links to each artist’s facebook & bandcamp page, venue links, and the artist’s musical genre, so you could access the material with one click. The photographic material was shot either by my Sony DSC RX-100 , either by my high-end Canon 7D Mark II and all photos were slightly compressed due to wordpress storage limitations. All gigs were exciting, thus i am providing them by chronological order. So, let’s talk a dive!

Genre: Doom, gothic
Check photo album

 

I hope you liked the photos! You could also try it, as i started back in 2012 with capturing photos through the mobile phone. Then, if you are into it, you could go further read about the photography’s holy trinity; ISO & shutter speed & aperture. And then, go get a starting kit & go to gigs and practice your understandings. Practice, practice, practice. If a humble software engineer can do it, you can do it as well!

For 2019, for now, we made our arrangements to attend Roadburn Festival 2019 in Tilburg, Holland, Freak Valley Festival 2019 in Netphen, Germany & Sunn O)))‘s gig in Amsterdam. You can consult & subscribe to our gig tracker web app, the Tzertzelos Tracker to get notified every day for new gig findings in your countries of interest. We will also do that, and hopefully tons of interesting gigs will be announced for 2019.

We will  see you at the pit,

have a great 2019,

Kaze of Tzertzelos

 

ps1: Tons of thanks to Eba Beleba for driving me to all this gigs & scheduling our gig trips! It was amazing & looking forward for infinitely more 🙂

honorable mentions;

The list above, as previously mentioned, is heavily redacted for various reasons. There are excellent albums from great bands like Portal, Svartidauði and Kriegsmaschine which fell short to my expectations (I probably had insane expectations from these bands but maybe that’s just me). Also there albums that wouldn’t aesthetically or genre-wise find their place in my list but I feel I need to mention.

Some of these albums are as follow (not ordrered or ranked);

Svartidauði – Revelations of the Red Sword
Portal – ION
Kriegsmaschine – Apocalypticists
Καταχνιά – Κρεσέντο Απελπισίας
Six Brew Bantha – Blight
Lividity – Perverseverance
C.H.E.W. – Feeding Frenzy
夢遊病者 (Sleepwalker) – 一期一会

Happy new year everyone! Cheers!

Honorable Mentions for 2018

Dear all,

2018 was a year full of interesting releases in the spectrum of all musical styles. Thus, it would be unfair to not mention bands that didn’t make it in our favorite picks of 2018 due to a variety of reasons. For instance, some referred bands’ latest releases didn’t occur in 2018, other artists were discovered by us in gigs that we attended and we saw significant potential on them, thus we would like to suggest them. We compiled this list of artists after tremendous meetings with our team, and here it is! Our honorable mentions for 2018! Keep in mind, that we would like to recommend each artist individually and actual enumeration doesn’t mean increased or decreased importance. All of them were amazing in their corresponding musical style & our expectation are high for all of them.

Enough talking, now let’s dive into our honorable mentions list for 2018!

Kaze’s favorite doom metal & psychedelic rock albums for 2018

Dear all,

2018 was a quite rich year in terms of new material. Especially on the doom spectrum, we welcomed the new albums of High on Fire, Conan, Yob & Bongripper which where in my opinion quite important releases, full of heaviness & vastness. CHRCH, Ommadon and Drug Cult were quite exciting new entries (for me) for 2018. In the psychedelic rock planet, we witnessed the new material from Kikagaku Moyo, Wooden Shjips, Weedpecker & Earthless. Especially the new work from Earthless, ‘Black Heaven’, was my personal 2018 psych rock favorite, an amazing album that features Isaiah’s vocals for the first time, after the band was signed to Nuclear Blast. Initially, i was a bit sceptic about this move, but ‘Black Heaven’ proved me awesomely wrong. I am super excited about this work and i am looking forward watching them performing soon either in Holland, either in Greece.

Enough talking, now let me present you my favorite doom metal & psychedelic rock releases for 2018!

Kaze’s favorite death doom, death, black metal albums of 2018

Dear all, 2018 was a year of awesome extreme metal releases! Full of amazing albums depicting futile & ominous stories in swampy realms. The most notable material features Mammoth Grinder consisting of members Power Trip, Iron Reagan, and Darkest Hour, Spectral Wound & Abstracter. Evoken returned with their 6th full-length album after 6 years of absence and At The Gates recorded their 6th full-length album as well. Hooded Menace‘s new album was a death doom masterpiece. It was quite difficult to assemble & sort this list for you, so all the presented releases are quite significant and mind-blowing. All the material really raised the overall level of the extreme sound in my opinion and here they are, my death doom, black, death metal favorites for 2018. Don’t forget to show your love to the artists by either purchasing merch, attend their gigs & share their work.

Dear all,

It’s been an exciting year with music releases, tons of new underground bands popping up and at Tzertzelos we are very happy to have seen our music and anniversary followers grow as well!
