Belgium
Steak Number Eight
ESNS: 2012
Winning the most important music battle at age 15. That is what Steak Number Eight did, winning Rock Rally in Belgium, becoming the youngest winners ever. This four-piece from Wevelgem produces a mixture of postrock and sludgemetal, influenced by bands like Pelican, Isis, Sunn O))) en Amen Ra. Enormous, hard-hitting riffs sandwiched between moody, atmospheric interludes, all set against an impressive light show, that have led to the Belgian media pinning its hopes on this young four piece, hailing frontman/guitarist Brent Vanneste as “a new Kurt Cobain”. Debut album All Is Chaos was released this year. And it sounds like a supergroup consisting of members of Isis, Mastodon and Killing Joke fronted by a young Cobain.
