Lightning is one of the most spectacular displays in nature.
Bolt temperatures hotter than the sun. Shockwaves radiating out in all directions.
In Dutch, this deadly natural phenomenon is called “Bliksem.”


On their second album, Gruesome Masterpiece' on which the band has worked for over 2 years in between their touring schedule,  BLIKSEM is exploring the boundaries of heavy music. Inspired by the classic rock and metal albums, their compositions range from utterly doom & gloom to furious fast thrash and from grooving midtempo hymns to psychedelic weirdness but always with a strong feel for melodies and harmonies.  Every single track in accordance with the dark, authentic lyrics by Peggy Meeusen reflecting her soul-searching journey. No triggers, clicktracks and other technical devices being used and neither is the band playing hide & seek by writing about fantasy, horror, satan or other (metal) cliches. BLIKSEM is as pure as it gets!
