THE BANDS

Verloren Vertellingen – A single timeframe, a shared vision, stories without limits…

Four entities of Dutch black metal join their forces and narratives, together composing “Verloren Vertellingen.” Stories that refuse to leave the mind. Written down, expressed through tones and words, recorded as an interpreter of what once was…

First is Hellevaerder, where souls are crushed to ash. A journey into the depths of humanity’s duality. Duindwaler adds another layer and devours the remaining souls. By thunderous war drums dunes are cleared and peoples and wanderers destroyed. A solo project by Daan Bleumink, recently performed live for the first time…

Warming up after the proclaimed violence is Schavot, Floris Velthuis’s creation performed live for the second time. Is ending up on the scaffold any warmer than finding yourself in icy cold and unreality? Two tracks where folklore is described and history is enacted. Accompanied by the Zwotte Kring, Floris leads you through these tales, may they sink into books forever.

Asgrauw closes with their story. Still bitter from past deeds, all-consuming yet carefully binding. They finish the set and deliver the final blow. They leave no one intact, heralds of history, brutal yet eloquent in their grim splendor.

---

Bloedmaan – brings you true 90s inspired black metal with vampirical themes. Drawing inspiration from the well of romantic literature and wat is now generally defined as the second wave off black metal. What started out as a simple solo project, has now slowly expanded into a live band. With the repress of a sold out first album and a brand new album on the horizon, Bloedmaan stands ready to unleash its evil upon the world once again,…

Suttungr – is a black metal band from Kerkrade, Limburg, founded in 2017. Their music blends the raw aggression of second-wave black metal with themes rooted in regional history, pagan resistance, and ancestral memory. Lyrics often explore uprisings and folklore from the Low Countries, with a focus on cultural identity and historical depth.

---

Gogmagore:
Raw, relentless black metal from the Netherlands.Emerging from the underground in 2020 and rising to full strength in 2023, this six-headed beast fuses old-school black metal with death metal intensity. Known for their visceral live shows—complete with corpse paint and pig’s blood—GogmaGore leaves a lasting mark on every stage they conquer.

Their debut EP Dissolved by Nature dropped in November 2023, unleashing their dark sound onto the world. With vocal duels, blistering riffs, and a style rooted in 90s Scandinavian black metal, GogmaGore channels the spirit of Horna, Emperor, and Gehenna.

Shared stages with Ancient Rites, Cirith Gorgor & more. Follow the chaos. Witness the ritual. GogmaGore is here to devour.

Time table and more info, coming soon!

In that spirit, Void Wanderer Productions is dropping a pair of surprise CD releases — a little present for those who love dark, textured music and physical formats.

Surprise Releases Announcement

Now available: Asgrauw — Façade and Grafhond/Veenlijks – In harmonie met de dood/Galgenberg on CD. These releases arrived without fanfare to mirror the playful secrecy of Sinterklaas surprises: unannounced, tangible, and meant to be discovered.

Asgrauw – Façade 
Genre: Black metal
Formats: CD, Jewelcase
For Fans Of: Emperor, Darkthrone , Monarque & Sargeist

‘Façade’ explores the area between life and death. The unknown and inexplicable, sometimes things are not what they seem.
From suspended animation caused by disease to the despair of being buried alive.
The struggle between death wish and death fear.
From losing your individuality to sacrificing your soul.
All themes that balance on the thin line between the two worlds.
Is there any difference at all? Or do we attach too much value to our corpus?

Genre: Black metal
Formats: CD, 6P Digipack 
For Fans Of: WAR, Darkthrone, Wiegedood, Victimizer (NL), Asgrauw, Grafjammer & Hellripper

Combining two great underground Dutch black metal EP’s 

‘In harmonie met de dood’ is a furious pounding of brutal emotionally laden Black Metal. A dense and intense storm of aggressive riffs, mournful chord progressions and taunted vocal performances.

‘Galgenberg’ brings you back to Medieval Amersfoort. A time where witches still burned at the stake, and innocent people where persecuted by the Church. A time where mysterious rituals were performed in the dark parts of the forests.
Galgenberg is not your traditional Scandinavian inspired black metal release, instead the instrumental boundaries are pushed by drawing inspiration from a variety of genres to create an unique sound, worthy of the Dutch black metal scene.
