An Evening With Knives – The Mistake 

End of Time was released March 2025 and was yet another amazing An Evening With Knives album. We wrote a few words back then as you might have read. But after the album matured for more than a year, we can still state that the eight songs on the album feel forged in fire, thunder and shadow. An Evening With Knives return with End Of Time, eight songs forged in fire, thunder and shadow. Driven by Jarno van Osch’s fierce drumming, the Eindhoven trio sounds leaner, darker and more dangerous, every note striking with purpose. Guitars shimmer, bass surges and drums pound like an approaching storm, while Marco Gelissen’s roars tear through the darkness. From the turbulent fury of The Mistake to the haunting depths of S21, this is metal that breathes, burns and leaves the ground trembling beneath your feet. And we do not mention The Mistake for nothing… Cause just now… A new video was released for that one song… Cause it features proudly on a new two-track single soon to be released called: The Rabbit & The Mistake. Make no mistake, the critique of self-righteous leadership and the sheep-like willingness of others to follow it, still cuts like a knife…

 An Evening With Knives Announce New EP The Rabbit & The Mistake and Release "The Mistake" Video
    
    

Dutch psychedelic post-metal trio An Evening With Knives follows up its latest album End of Time with a new two-track EP built around the song The Mistake. The release will be available on all major streaming platforms and is accompanied by a brand-new music video created by artist Paddy Murphy. Alongside The Mistake, the EP also features the previously unreleased track The Rabbit.

With its ominous atmosphere and crushing intensity, The Mistake feels more relevant than ever.

The band comments:

“The world is on fire. Current events speak for themselves and form the perfect backdrop for The Mistake — a track that unfortunately becomes more relevant by the day. When artist Paddy Murphy approached us with an idea for a music video for the song, we didn’t have to think twice. The result is a bizarre visual trip with a confronting nod to the strange reality we currently live in.”

The EP also includes The Rabbit, a track that until now remained hidden in the shadows of the End of Time studio sessions. The song was one of the first tracks written for the album, but ultimately did not make the final tracklist.

“More songs were recorded during the studio sessions than would fit on the album. The Rabbit is about helplessly surrendering to the whims of others, and the grim satisfaction of witnessing their eventual downfall. To us, this track always deserved to see the light of day — and now, on September 2, it finally will.”

Following the release, An Evening With Knives will embark on a fall tour across the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. The first show is scheduled for Friday, September 4 at Vera in Groningen.

Rated: ****

Two weeks from now the world will quake and tremble just a little bit more from all those stereos around the globe set to volume eleven! It will signal the coming of the End Of Time. And by that we do not mean the biblical end of times, but the new album by Eindhoven, the Netherlands metal trio An Evening With Knives. The first studio release with new drummer Jarno van Osch, who was already introduced to the world by that wonderful FNR Sessions from 2023. Which made clear the sound would be turning a more aggressive and even more turbulent corner. End Of Time is definitely that! Furious, fiery and ferocious. There are a few moments here and there where the vocals of Marco Gelissen sound a little less convincing than on earlier albums. As if he was searching for the right direction or sound to aim for. But those moments are quickly dispersed by the righteous roars that usually follow. Like a lion about to devour his competitors! Those are perhaps two of the obvious differences in comparison to the earlier quality releases. Another one is that not just the drums are more direct, so are the compositions. Not a note too much seems to have been the adagio and this gives the songs, paradoxically enough, more room to come into their own. Eight tracks with the perfect vinyl running time of almost 39 minutes. Singles Pride Of Lions, The Mistake and Voices have been out for a bit now and turned heads. But those heads will be needing neck braces after hearing the short deviously whirling Death and the final and longest track on the album S21. S21 with seven and a half minutes takes the listener to Cambodia and speaks of all the atrocities that went on during the reign of the Khmer Rouge. Slowly picking up the pace, grabbing back the most perhaps to the sound of earlier albums, they start out very atmospheric and with the malicious utterings of Gelissen, you can feel the disgust seeping into your veins. Beautiful guitar work later on, thanks to riveting bass that pushes those guitar lines towards the heavens. It’s one of the many highlights on the album. And all of it is sure to set off a seismic event…

Accompanied by a gripping music video starring the band members, Pride of Lions captures the raw intensity and immersive energy that defines the band’s sound.

Band Statement on ‘Pride of Lions’
"Pride of Lions is about reclaiming control. It embodies the moment when the oppressed rise up, break their chains, and overthrow their rulers. Like a lion full of rage, it is a battle cry for defiance, power, and liberation."
 
With Pride of Lions, An Evening With Knives delivers yet another fierce chapter, setting the stage for the release of their highly anticipated album End of Time.

And we’ve got yet another one of those crazy Quick Fire Friday rounds for you to go insane to! Cause there’s still a lot to cover and everyone of those singles, EPs and demos mentioned below are worth your time. Shit, they are worth way more of our time! But you know how it is… There is so much out there, so much good an heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!

 

Deville – Hanged, Drawn and Quartered

Starting off with a righteous bang! We reviewed the very cool Hydra and ofcourse their last awesome album Pigs With Gods on the HiVe and know Deville has let us know that they will be releasing a new album this year through that label we only recently discovered, and already truly adore: Sixteentimes Music! Before the album arrives they shall release some singles that did NOT make the album! Hanged, Drawn and Quartered is once again more metal and more of that great Deville sound! Packing an incredible punch! Can’t wait to hear that new album!

Ogives Big Band – Harm Redux

Harm Redux is a reimagining of the 2019 Harm EP by Ogives Big Band. This because Ogives went from three to four members, now including a vocalist. And this addition makes the droning noise, the psych metal, the math prog and all the other experimental ruckus the Bristol band produces even more frantic and feverish, inducing a delirium and psychotic reactions with no quarter asked and none given…

Diamond Skull – The Deal

Austrian trio Diamond Skull are back with a new single The Deal! And one hell of a single it is, a midtempo, eighties and seventies referencing hard rocking slow builder. The blues roots are never far away and so is the feeling that you are listening to something classic. Groovy, metallic and hypnotic indeed! And a sure fire way to get the blood pumping and your anxiety to hear a full album to a maximum level… Cause if they’ve made The Deal with the Devil…

Basalt Shrine – From Fiery Tongues

Have we mentioned how we love Electric Spark Records from the Netherlands? Have we mentioned it enough? Well, here we go mentioning it again: we love Electric Spark Records! And they are about to release a new album from a insane black doom, post metal, sludge noise outfit from the Philippines called Basalt Shrine on vinyl. The four produce forty minutes of overwhelming metal, doom, noise and turning it extremely bleak, black and dark with its snarling vocals. From Fiery Tongues indeed!

Warcoe – The Giant’s Dream

We’ve been listening to Warcoe for a while now; but it was thanks to Brandon from Morbid And Miserable Records and Marc-Eric Gagnon tipping it on the Doom Charts Peroration post for March that we got back into The Giant’s Dream for more of that good and heavy proto action! The Italian three deliver ‘groovy doom from the abyss’; where the giants have definitely been spinning a lot of Black Sabbath and Iommi honoring heavy metal. It’s stunning and it’s so addictive; once they’ve gotten their hooks in you there is no escape possible…

So, if they haven’t managed to grapple you yet: here’s a bandcamp code to drag you into the abyss with them: h3c4-egkt

Louisiana Drifter – After The Flood

Ending it once again with something spectacular! Louisiana Drifter. Great name! And so is the music on their sophomore EP, After The Flood. The first EP, Road To Nowhere sported some great music but a lo-fi almost open-source recording sound. The new four-track release sounds so much improved we might assume they’ve stood around on a crossroads somewhere looking to make a deal. Bluesy rock, steeped in the seventies, with those psychedelic edges and stoner curves that we all love so much. Damn bluesy bayou-tastic goodness!
