Brutal, razor-sharp, loud, and relentless. That's HAKSELAER. A four-piece Death/Thrash metal machine from (all over) the Netherlands. HAKSELAER pounds and rages as hard as it can be groove-filled and melodic.
These four men have been active in the metal and prog underground their entire musical lives and left their stinky sweat on many stages already. Critical of people and society, not sparing themselves. HAKSELAER is a wrecking ball!!
First single “Het Radicale Midden” or “The Radical Centre” is inspired by the circus that are the elections and the traditional left and right wing political movements. It deals with the monopoly of radicalism on the extreme edges of society. We propose a centred radicalism, defending traditional morals with a progressive and curious attitude towards “scary new things”. Be firm and strong when it comes to rules and boundaries, but gentle and kind towards the creatures who need it
