A night of doom + shoegaze + noise
Hidden Since the Foundation of the World · Crashing · Farer
The abyss is loud, and it gazes back.
A night of loud and heavy music at OT301 with bands from across the Dutch underground, each arriving from a different direction. Farer build doom out of two bass guitars, no guitar, and a voice used as a primal scream. Crashing play reverb-soaked shoegaze and alt-rock in the spirit of Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine. Hidden Since the Foundation of the World sit in between: electric violin, fuzz and feedback, somewhere between early Sabbath and spaced-out noise, inside a wall of fog.
Slow where it needs to be, loud throughout. Three bands from 20:00, finished by 23:00. Entry €10.
Bring earplugs.

Hidden Since the Foundation of the World
Neo-psychedelic doom — Amsterdam, NL
Hidden Since the Foundation of the World began, fittingly, at an academic panel on exorcism, where founding members Blev Lavoux (vocals, violin) and Joel Bordeaux (guitar, electronics) first met. By 2025 the two Americans had added a Dutch rhythm section — Ivar van der Heijden (bass) and Kareem de Vries (drums) — in Amsterdam, and built something that refuses to sit still inside doom: electric violin, fuzz and feedback pulled from early Sabbath out to spaced-out noise, funeral doom and sludge, melody and post-punk restlessness riding on top. Live, synced films and samples dissolve into unpredictable, improvisational transitions inside a wall of fog.

Crashing
Inspired by shoegaze and alt-rock giants like Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine, Crashing indulges in noisy reverberated hooks, intense live performances and raw unfiltered volume with a strong emphasis on DIY culture. Be prepared for immersive noise and hard hitting tracks crafted not only to be heard, but to be physically felt. Crank up the gain. Nail the kick drum to the floor. Bring earplugs.

Farer
Dutch doom/noise trio Farer create an imposing discord of severe, caustic bass textures, harrowing vocals and winding drums. The band, featuring members of Ortega, was originally founded as MENHIR in 2013, but chose Farer as their new moniker mid 2019, after spending two and a half years of writing and recording their debut record Monad. By taking time to further explore the possibilities of being a band with two bass players and the absence of a guitar, the record exhibits the bands evolution into a new entity thoroughly. Meaning, carefully crafted, drawn-out, oppressive and compelling songs.
With their debut, Farer made a committed and captivating testament to suffering. Heavy grinding riffs and deep pulsating rhythms; a restless stirring. Amidst all these layers you can hear the voice as a primal scream – the shock of being. The dissonance of forces vying for existence and the harmony of lightless oblivion. An agonising story of something or somebody coming in contact with the singularity Monad and thus creating an incomprehensible cycle of violent creation and destruction. Out of nothing, nothing becomes.
