Celebrating life and worshipping death...
The baptism by fire of our new permanent bass player Luuk was a succes. We played our full length in it’s complete form for one of the last times at Blackfest in the WIllemeen venue in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
Again we have some great news: the 12” vinyl of ‘In de nevel van afgunst’ will be released at the 16th of March. This one time chance to get our masterpiece on vinyl will be released through our bandcamp or through Zwaertgevegt!
Up next is the Herrie festival, Alkmaar on the 18th of May 2023. We will be playing new music.
Also we are working on new material to be released this year on vinyl…

and the wolves howled
We played the first show of 2023 at the Wolfsonic festival at ‘De witte wolf’ metalcafe. We had a blast, even while missing our guitarist Bas due to health issues. Our next stop is BLACKFEST III at the Willemeen venue in Arnhem, this time the entire gang will be present!
This was also the last show our bassplayer Valentijn van der Poll played with us, he helped us out by taking up bassduty’s after Rene’s departure. Valentijn will remain active for Hellevaerder in the background, as roadie and tech. Thank you our friend, and many more adventures to come!
On that note, we would also like to introduce our new permanent bassplayer: Luuk Steemers. Luuk is ex-bassplayer and current guitarist in the Dutch thrashdeath band Infantry. We welcome him with open arms and are looking forward to what the future brings us. Luuk will get his baptism by fire during the Blackfest gig.

We have played our first international gig last saturday. It was a very busy but very fun weekend and we loved almost every minute of it. This was the last gig of this year and we are getting ready to conquer the mighty wolf at Wolfsonic in January.
Er is verslag gemaakt van de hele avond en er zijn meerdere toffe foto’s (door Patsker Omaer Beguin) online geplaatst van deze avond. Lees deze HIER.

Line-up change!
Today our bassplayer Rene Meijer decided to leave the band. This choice weighted heavy on the entire band, but we support him in it.
We all live very busy lifes and can only do that much besides work. Rene could not give our band the time that he thinks it deserves and prefered to step down so we can keep growing.
We all have a deep respect for him for what he did for the band and will remain a very close contact to us. And above all, we truly support him with his other band Eyecloser. Go check them out at their website. Thank you Rene for everything you did for us and for what you mean to us!
On the same time we want to welcome Valentijn van der Poll to the Hellevaerder team. He will be picking up the bass and will add backing vocals from here on out. Valentijn is a very experienced and skilled musician that is also playing in the band Serotonia as guitarist and vocalist.

During those we will give you a look through our vision of darkness. We will drag you down into the deepest parts of our mind, body and soul and let the darkness devour you.
After two difficult Covid-years, the band has finished their first full-length. ‘In de nevel van afgunst’ brings you seven tracks that pull you into the depths. With a new stage image, the band will bring a dark ritual live and take you on a journey.
You are worthless, death is liberating.
