BUTFF x PRIKKELDRAAD presents:
For Friday, we’ve again invited ‘Prikkeldraad’ (‘barbed wire’ in Dutch), a local Breda-based dark and prickly metal organisation, to host our annual Metal Friday. So come and try to cross that barbed wire!
 

VISCERAL CONTEMPT
Visceral Contempt emerged in late 2023 around a hardcore project inspired by Operation Oyster, the Allied bombing of the occupied Philips radio factories in Eindhoven in 1942. What began as a conceptual EP quickly evolved into a full band featuring members from Human Demise, Dark Intentions and No Turning Back.

Their sound sits firmly in metallic hardcore: tight, aggressive and heavily charged. Within a year, the band played across the Netherlands and beyond, sharing stages with acts such as Earth Crisis, Mindwar and Initiate.

On stage, Visceral Contempt delivers a relentless performance built entirely on intensity and impact. No relief, no detours—just sustained pressure from start to finish.

MOULFON
Mouflon is a Dutch death and doom metal band forging a sound deeply rooted in the old-school traditions of Entombed, Autopsy, Grave and Asphyx. Their music shifts between slow, dragging doom passages and explosive bursts of death metal, always carrying a sense of overwhelming weight and intensity.

With albums such as Devastations and Pure Filth, the band built a reputation for uncompromising, destructive metal that feels both sluggish and aggressive at the same time. Live, this translates into a massive wall of sound where subtlety disappears entirely in favour of impact and volume.

The band has shared stages with acts such as Gatecreeper, Blood Incantation and Zeal & Ardor, and performed at festivals including Eurosonic and Pitfest. Their shows are built around pressure and escalation: slow builds, crushing heaviness and full-force sonic impact.

GRIT
GRIT emerged in 2024 from the Dutch underground black and death metal scene, founded by musicians with roots in bands such as Sator Malus and Depredation. What started as a new collaborative project quickly evolved into a fully committed death metal formation with no restraint or polish.

Drawing influence from both classic and modern death metal ranging from Cannibal Corpse to Bolt Thrower and Obituary, GRIT focuses on direct, physical intensity. Cutting riffs, heavy grooves and aggressive vocals combine into a sound built entirely around impact.

The lineup was completed with additional guitarists, reinforcing a front line that amplifies the band’s weight and urgency. What remains is a band that does exactly what death metal is meant to do: play hard, play direct, and leave no room for escape.
