CRASH! BANG! WALLOP!

Dautzenberg (Heerlen, 1967) and fellow countryman Loozen (Valkenburg, 1966) are currently putting the finishing touches to a compilation album with which they honour the metal pioneers of the Low Countries. They concentrate on the Belgian and Dutch scene in the years 1979 to 1984.


CRASH! BANG! WALLOP! collects 21 bands on double vinyl (with gatefold sleeve) and 23 bands on double CD (in deluxe digipack). There will also be bands and songs that have not been released before. Both the vinyl and the CD are provided with extensive liner notes.


The vinyl record will also be released in an exclusive limited edition box with, in addition to the double LP, the liner notes and a sew-on patch, a 76-page tour book for which Dautzenberg and Loozen spent the past year and a half going back to the early years. They spoke to musicians, fans, organizers, programmers and journalists.


The book is chock full of memorabilia and photos, many of which have never been published before. The logo and inner sleeve were designed by illustrator Maarten Donders.


CRASH! BANG! WALLOP! is scheduled for release in April 2022 and will be published by Excelsior Recordings. Leave your email address and we will keep you informed.
