Rare footage of Metal Night Festival 1994 at the Poort van Kleef, Almelo, Netherlands, has been uploaded to YouTube. The material is rare, because these bands, for many years ago, decided to part ways, also the location where the festival was held is gone. So this is unique material. Below you can see video’s of Ashen Mortality [UK], Sculpture [NL] and Ancepscura [NL].
Nice to mention is that the Seventh Angel album Heed The Warning – Live [2005] contains a song No Longer a Child live at Crashing Hell Thrash Festival 1992, that was held at the same location.
Between 1992 and 1997 there was Metal Night, located in Almelo [In the east of the Netherlands]. Metal Night was part of Gospeltheek Cascade [from Youth For Christ]. A place where metalheads could meet each other, while enjoying a healthy dose of metal, a snack and a drink! With DJ’s and a thrashing floor [ where you could headbang / mosh etc. ] Beside the weekly Metal Night‘s, they organized metal concerten/festivals, biblestudy etc. Bands who have played there were Seventh Angel, No Longer Music, Ashen Mortality, Sculpture, Ancepscura, Rainforest, The Friendlys, The Circumcised, Salutary, Decision D & Skinny
