Belgian speed metal band Drakkar have released the lyric video for «666 'n' Rock 'n' Roll (Tribute to Them)» — and «Them» is not a conspiracy code, but simply Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy Kilmister, the two gods to whom half the genre owes its existence.
Drakkar have been around since 1983, longer than some listeners have even been breathing. Their 1988 debut album, "X-Rated," landed the band support slots for Queensrÿche, Metallica, Overkill, and Slayer—a guest list other bands would give their souls for. The album remains a cornerstone of the Belgian metal scene.
After the obligatory period of silence, the band reunited in 2011, followed by the remastered album "X-Rated" in 2012, "Once Upon a Time in Hell" in 2014 with Jonas Sanders of Pro-Pain on drums, and over 80 concerts across Europe. The live album "Once Upon a Time Hellive" was released in 2016. Then came the devastating blow: founding member Thierry Del Cane passed away. The band carried on—in his memory, not out of spite.
Between 2022 and 2025, three singles and a music video followed. "Invasion" is now the next chapter: Leni Andersen is back on vocals, founding member Guy Duvy is back on bass, and Thomas Vanhorebeek and Nico RR are on guitars. Adrien Delgambe—son of former drummer Tim Delval—is on drums. The roots are striking back, and they still sound furious!
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
