Metal Monday: the pride of Zeeland

The nineth Metal Monday sees us reach the “G” and what better band to showcase that Zeeland’s pride, Gorefest? It was actually my younger brother who discovered them first. He was then a much more intense metalhead than I was, but since then has migrated through playing LARP and D’nD into a Dutch Neil the hippie, without changing much both in his convictions and look… Whereas I mostly dabbled in bands like Iron Maiden and Anthrax, he went for the full death/black metal experience and hence found out about Gorefest early, just before their first cd came out in 1991. That cd, Mindloss for me is still one of the classic death metal albums, one that every metalhead should have in their collection; their later work is less essential.
