Join us the 19th of September in raising funds for MiGreat; an organisation fighting for freedom of movement and equal treatment in the Netherlands. They are doing some seriously important field work in Ter Apel, by provinding refugees who would otherwise sleep outside with tents and sleeping bags.
MiGreat are an independent organisation who are able to do their work through support by donations and volunteers, so any and all support is greatly appreciated!
Joining the night are TEARDRINKER from Rotterdam, politically charged sonic mayhem traversing the edge of sludge, black metal, screamo and hardcore.
RUEN, anarcho-folk turned crust. An alliance spanning from Utrecht to Alentejo on tour promoting their new album ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’.
New punks on the block MAULKORB are already making the rounds around town, recently releasing their self-titled demo, they are ready to rumble at the ORKZbar!
There will be stands and distros present with art, prints, records as well as books provided by Fugitive Books.

Pesticide is finally visiting us with their fine anarchistic metal/crustpunk. With melodical riffs, energetic drums and dark guitars they explore themes like anti-racism, anti-colonialism, gentrification, and anti-militarism. Exactly what we need in current times!
Verval has been here before, and we can’t wait to see them again. They mix raw, ominous death/black metal with dark neo-crust. With lyrics about personal decline and the demise of our surroundings, Verval delivers a painful message buried in an uncompromising wall of sound – that last time left us all mesmerized and wanting for more.
Aufhebung are no strangers to Orkz Bar either. Last time blew us away, time for round two! Their style is hard to describe, but here goes: it’s a mix of doom and post-metal, but you also hear some noise rock, hardcore and progressive music come by. We read the sound of Aufhebung can be described as ‘filmic, atmospheric and reflective’, and we can definitely second that. Make sure you are around for this one!

The ORKZ-bar is part of the ORKZ, a legalised squat in the south of Groningen. Located in the old kitchens of the former Roman-Catholic hospital, the bar is run by volunteers, and usually open from 22:00 till late (except mondays and wednesdays).
The ORKZ-bar is not available for rent; try the RKZbios instead.
