De Pankraker

03/07/2025

Tomorrow we’re going all out. Moshing our balls off our pants. Just one more day. Less than 24 hours. And De Pankraker Festival II kicks off.

But that’s not all. We’re not just releasing the latest edition of Pankraker Magazine.
We’re also dropping a brand-new tape. And not just any tape: BLOED (Belzebub Laughs at Every Death) releases 't Regent. And they come to present the tape on our stage!

The band already scored a killer review from our brothers over at Addergebroed.

Aanstaande vrijdag en zaterdag gaat in Gent de tweede editie van De Pankraker Festival door. Waarschijnlijk doen slechts enkele namen op de affiche een belletje rinkelen en dat is nu net het opzet …

De Pankraker Festival II - Band Announcement

Slutet

With only one week to go we present to you a special band!

Strange people and De Pankraker Festival belong together like fire in a church basement.
And in that spirit, we’re proud to bring Slutet to the stage: a band that has fascinated us for years, first brought to our attention by none other than Herr Levertraan. Slutet is part of the enigmatic entity known as The End Commune.

But rather than try to explain what that is, we’ll let their own words do the talking:
"The End Commune is an outsider art collective—an amateur passion tribe. The first dynasty ran from 2012 to 2022. The second dynasty began in 2025 and is ongoing.
They offer fiery words and sounds from Uppsala’s underground, calling themselves a proud child of the sewer. Their work is framed as experiments in authenticity and exercises in transformation.

The collective operates with no central agenda, no shared creed, no shared ideology, and no affiliations. They reject social activism, politics, genre loyalty, and trend-following."
Musically, Slutet comes (sometimes) closest to black metal, but refuses to be confined by the genre. Their sound is raw, unpredictable, and deeply personal. More invocation than performance.

And now, for the first time ever, Slutet will perform live in Belgium. For the first time on the European continent.

De Pankraker Festival II - Bands announcement (NEW NEW NEW!!)

Bacht'n de Vulle Moane

It’s with pain in the heart we announce Vaurien won’t make it to the festival. Hope this works out next time.

But we are stoked to have this band around. Raw, punishing, and intense, Klaagrituelen is the band’s powerful debut, released on tape by Haunted by Ill Angels and on 12 inches of jet black wax by De Pankraker Records. It's a sonic experience for fans of Beherit, Ildjarn, Klaus Schulze and DAF.

On one side, you’ll hear the raw, provocative energy of Beherit and Ildjarn: pure, untamed black metal intensity. On the other hand, influences from EBM, krautrock and the Berliner Schule emerge through atmospheric, meditative soundscapes crafted with analog synthesizers that transport you to cosmic, deep electronic realms.

When it comes to whiskey, De Pankraker avoids blends, but in music, he gladly makes an exception. Live, Bacht'n de Vulle Moane present a slightly transformed version of their sound, adding a unique dynamic that brings new energy and textures to their performances.
