Blistering Heat

.Blistering Heat in concert

If any of you think that Punk Metal is dead.......think again! A couple of weeks ago I went to see some kind of "Battle of the Stars" which took place in Sint-Katelijne-Waver. It's called DRCC which stands for "Duffelse Rock Cover Competition". The following groups made a good impression on me.

BLISTERING HEAT (Hove)
SYNTAX ERROR (Duffel)
LEAFPEOPLE (Kontich)

The Leafpeople won but I liked Blistering Heat more. They already created their own style which leans on to Metallica. In my opinion this means.... a lot of noise but still good music. There's still some melody when they play! LOL. The group is formed around front man Jan Verhoeven (guitar/singer) with Jense (drummer), Maarten (guitar, backing vocals), Pieter (bass guitar). Pieter is their youngest member (14!!!) but man can he play!!!!!! I've never seen somebody this young handling a bass guitar like that! Also front man Jan is a great musician! I think they have a great future together if they keep up the good work! I included some pictures from their performance at DRCC! If you'd like to see them "live" go to RuckRock Oct. 20th, 2006.
