DutchMetalManiac End Of Year Lists 2018

Hey DutchMetalManiac readers,

First of all, thanks for reading our articles and I hope you will also enjoy our upcoming articles! 🙂

At this moment I also want to thank DutchMetalManiac’s writers Glenn, Henric, Martijn, Julia, Alessandro and Leon as well as our former writers.

Of course, I also want to thank all the bands, labels, promoters and venues, because without them DutchMetalManiac couldn’t exist.

Personally, I also want to thank the love of my life for supporting me and DutchMetalManiac.

Below you can find our end of the year lists 2018.

We’ll have a short break from now on and we will be back on January 2nd for a very metal 2019! \m/

So, enjoy our end of the year lists and hopefully we’ll see you back in 2019.

Merry Xmas and a happy new year full of metal to you!
