Menno and Daniël from the band Black Nazareth are this week’s Guest DJs!
It started in 2017 when Menno Gootjes approached Henry McIlveen with some ideas for a Metal/Rock album. As they previously worked together successfully in Threnody it was like a coming home to start writing together again. Even though this new project seemed faraway from the pioneering Progressive Metal they made with Threnody it was experimental in every way. With the passing of every session slowly the focus of the project started to shift in a more Rock-oriented approach. It was time to find some vocals! End of 2018 Daniël de Jongh joined the team. Daniël past experience with Progressive Metal heroes Textures and other Rock projects gave him a fitting profile for where the music was leading.The road to completion was a long one. Menno’s engagements with the Progressive Rock veterans of Focus kept him on the road for extended periods. It wasn’t until end of 2019 that Martijn Spierenburg joined the band. The sound needed something more and Martijn’s experience with the hit scoring Symphonic Metal band Within Temptation gave that much extra.
After releasing all of the songs as singles, Black Nazareth felt it was time to gather all of the singles into a mini album, along with a previously unreleased song. The band’s self titled album is a masterpiece of pure and adrenaline pumping Rock!
