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!

Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat - Argonaut And Magneto

The solo project of Stef Heeren caught my attention in a random playlist at work.

KISS THE ANUS OF A BLACK CAT is a Belgian band that was formed in Gent, the band plays neofolk on the first albums, often using drones. The later albums, in addition to neo-folk, dark folk also contain new wave influences. The band has to have one of the most absurd band names ever.

The band started as a solo project by Stef Irritant (pseudonym of Stef Heeren), who received a degree in instrument building at the Ghent Conservatory.

Today's tune "Argonaut And Magneto" is a dark folk tune inspired by religious and shamanistic music and rituals. The name comes from a medieval witchcraft ritual. The tune is taken from the album "Hewers Of Wood And Drawers Of Water" released October 15, 2010, by Zealrecords, enjoy!


Here is a live clip from Ekko Utrecht 14-1-2011
