Wiegedood - Parool

Belgian finest Black Metal band WIEGEDOOD consists of Gilles Demolder (OATHBREAKER), Wim Coppers (RISE AND FALL) and guitarist and vocalist Levy Seynaeve (AMENRA, HESSIAN). WIEGEDOOD (Dutch for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), which literally translates to "Death In The cradle" is a name that evokes extremely powerful images, almost that they are doomed beforehand, but still gives a good basis for how the band sounds. Black Metal with a cold atmospheric sadness and despair.

The video for today's tune "Parool", is taken from the band’s album "De Doden Hebben Het Goed III", (translates to English as "The Dead Have It Good") which builds further on the first two chapters of the "De Doden Hebben Het Goed" trilogy. Both aesthetically and musically and is a natural extension of its predecessors.

“I, II, and III all focus on the subject of loss,” say WIEGEDOOD in a collective statement. “It’s inherently in our nature to desperately hold on to the people and the things we love. All three records are dedicated to Florent Pevée [from Kabul Golf Club], a close friend of Wim [Coppers] and a great musician who lost his life at 21. This is our way of honoring his life.”

As a band that has common membership with Belgian post-black metallers OATHBREAKER and post-metallers AMENRA, finding time for WIEGEDOOD—pronounced We-guh-doad—isn’t a challenge, but rather a directive. Time must be made and spent on behalf of WIEGEDOOD not in spite of it. Musically, the group don’t see similarities in or with OATHBREAKER or AMENRA, however. With this distinction, the Belgians are empowered to express themselves singularly. As a result, the writing sessions for III (and its predecessors) don’t ‘bleed over’ or ‘bleed through’ with the band members’ other projects.

Today's tune "Parool" is taken from the album "De Doden Hebben Het Goed III", released April 20th, 2018. Enjoy!
