Nightfeeder (US) + Hiatus (BE) + Traumatizer (NL) + Neuroot (NL) + DJ STEVE

Nightfeeder’s sound is classic hard-rockin’ American hardcore punk. Fellow Pacific Northwest band Poison Idea pioneered that kind of apocalyptic scuzz, and it’s been festering since then in places like Japan and Finland.

Their take on it is ugly and mean and riff-heavy, and there’s a whole lot of Mötorhead in its DNA.

Hiatus is a hardcore punk (crust) band from Liège, Belgium.

Formed in May 1989, at this time the line-up was Phill, Ben, Raf and Phil. They played in a Doom/Discharge/ENT style and recorded two demos. Soon after Willy joined them on bass.

A first 7″ was recorded (i don’t easily scared but…). Phill and Raf left the band then Azill joined as guitarist. Several 7″ (among others “way of doom” and a spilt with Doom) were released and they toured the United States and Canada in 1991.

Willy left the bass and became the main singer so the band recruited an additional member : Fred on the bass.

In 1993, the first LP “from resignation…to revolt” is released. Hiatus toured intensively through Europe with bands like No security, Svart Snö, Mushroom attack/Fleas and Lice, Six feet over…

Meanwhile, Fred quit the band and Jonas becomes the new bass player.

A second album “El sueño de la razón produce monstruos” is released in 1995. Hiatus toured the United States and Canada for the second time with american crusties State of fear. In 1996, a mini LP commonly called “the brain” is released with elements of modern hardcore added to their crust punk sound. They splitted up in 1997.

After a hiatus of 12 years, Willy, Phil, Ben and Azill did three reunion gigs in 2009 (in Liège, Lille and London) with Chris (Health Hazard/Doom) on bass.

On hiatus again, they eventually reunite again in 2019 with this time Sam (Werly/Suitside vs vedaplight) on bass. With this line-up, they release a new album in 2022 called “out of hand” on ruin nation records (D).

Fall of 2023, Paskk (Collapsed) has joined the band as new bass player.

Historical singer Willy passes away in 2024 but following Will’s wish, the show must go on, the band survives without him…

Hailing from Haarlem, The Netherlands, Traumatizer are sure to leave you craving for more with their blown-out dbeat assault that hits you right in the face.
