Bongripper will be playing the first of two sets at the Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland on Saturday, April 14, 2012.  Additionally, the band will perform its 2010 album, Satan Worshipping Doom in its entirety for a special Afterburner  set on Sunday, April 15, 2012 at the 013 venue. Satan Worshipping Doom ranked among the best albums of 2010, as voted by the Roadburn staff and readers alike. Hail Satan. Worship Doom!
