Label
De Pankraker was born in the depths of the underground, a rebellious radio program that delved into a cluster of metal sub-genres known for their daring sonic and visual transgressions. By 2022, it had expanded its reach with a magazine, and in 2023, it emerged from the shadows with its own festival. Now, in 2024, we proudly unveil De Pankraker Records, delving even deeper into the abyss with a distro and label. Metal for demons!!
Feel free to submit your work for release, but keep in mind our vibe: we're all about serving up dishes that are cold and old-school. No fancy stuff, no technicalities, and definitely no triggered drums. Contact: peter (dot) cousaert (at) gmail (dot) com or use the contact page.

DPK 007 Temple Mist - O Spiritus, qui in hoc loco adsum, audi me et exaudi preces meas TAPE 01.11.2025
TEMPLE MIST emerges from the cryptic depths of the Netherlands, conjuring a storm of ancient rituals. Born from sinister energies, the project draws its inspiration from the obscure demo-era black metal of Greece’s legendary Necromantia and Abruptum. Ritualistic, primitive, obscure and sinister: TEMPLE MIST channels the spirit of black metal’s early days.
Death, necromancy, and darkness run through every sound, invoking eldritch rituals meant to summon ancient malvolent spirits. The second album, ‘O Spiritus, qui in hoc loco adsum, audi me et exaudi preces meas’, weaves a tapestry of harrowing improvisational drums and bass guitars. Haunted by analogue synths and strangled howling of the dead.
DPK 006 BLOED - 'T REGENT Tape 04.07.2025
A new force rises from the bloody depths of the Amsterdam underground… Their moniker is BLOED, an acronym for “Belzebub Lacht Om Elke Dood”, loosely translated as “Beelzebub Laughs at Every Death.”
Their debut release is titled ‘t Regent’ and is a worship sermon of old school metal, from a time where death and black metal where still one and the same: morbid. Expect raw and intense war metal terrorism filled with deranged vocal proklamations and chaotic riffing assaults, devoid of any subtleties. This piece of blasphemous filth will appear on de Pankraker Records, and will see the light during their festival the 4th of July.

DPK 005 Bacht'n de Vulle Moane - Klaagrituelen 12" 20.04.2025
Bacht’n de Vulle Moane (Westflemish for Behind the Full Moon) merges the feral intensity of black metal with the pulsating oscillations of analogue electronics.
Raw, punishing and intense, Klaagrituelen is the band’s first release. Originally released as a limited tape edition on Haunted by Ill Angels, De Pankraker is now proud to offer the band's debut on 12 inches of jet black wax.
For fans of Beherit, Ildjarn, Klaus Schulze and DAF.
