Jan Bechtum – Age of Rock
For decades, Jan Bechtum has been a driving force in the world of Dutch heavy metal. As the guitarist and main composer of the legendary band Picture, he helped shape the sound of European metal — raw, powerful, and timeless.
Now, Jan steps back into the spotlight with his brand-new solo album, Age of Rock, a project that captures the essence of classic heavy metal while pushing his music to new heights.
This album is a true celebration of the genre — featuring 12 brand-new original tracks that showcase Jan’s signature riffing, melodic flair, and unstoppable energy, alongside 5 reimagined covers of Picture classics that pay tribute to his musical legacy.
Thanks to Laurens Bakker and Rinus Vreugdenhil for their musical cooperation!
From the first roaring chord to the last screaming solo, Age of Rock delivers everything fans crave:
- Powerful production
- Blistering guitars
- Thundering rhythms
- Soaring, passionate vocals
It’s an album that doesn’t just honor the past — it proves that true heavy metal never fades.
Turn up the volume and feel the fire — because the Age of Rock has just begun!
