Consisting of lead singer Gunther Uytterhoeven (also of Damn our Idols and Massif, and having a past with Serengeti and Saint Agatha), guitarists Jo Sente (whom apparently comes along with most ideas on which the band as a whole then constructs the songs) and Wim Van Cauwenbergh, bassist Jody Croes, and drummer Niels Schuyten, this Belgian Modern Metal band was founded in 2012.
It's not the first time that a duo of musicians use only drums and bass in order to make their music, but usually such acts also use vocals to fall in for the “lacking” part! No need for that with the Danish Duo known as Fossils, who indeed bring a very expressive instrumentals drum-and-bass type of music, and do so with apparently steadily-growing success.
About 4 ½ years ago (posted 08/12/2009 to be precise, and therefore perfectly researchable in our “Archive” section), colleague Ivan reviewed this Oslo based Norwegian Thrash Metal act's full-length album Harbouring Hate, and while on the average I find his reviews to be quite informatively complete, some details were missing, and a possible mistake was made. So, putting the dots on the i, I'll repeat the band's history...

Devil You Know is the intersection of three undeniable talents from the world of heavy music.
Following their shameless exploitation of the brutal capitalistic mindset behind the Super-Rock idiom with their Falcon (ex-Circle) album Frontier, and some live dates as Circle in collaboration with visual artist Mika Taanila (for his Time Machines exhibition) which resulted in the March 2, 2014 released live album Sseennsseess (review by yours truly posted...see for yourselves!), the band members behind Finland's Avant-Rock explorers Circle (currently re-named to Circle (ex-Falcon)
Although I’m more into the melodic side of metal, the chance to review one of Belgium’s greatest metal bands, could not be passed. With an open mind, I put the album in my player. And…at the first spin I thought : it’s not bad, it’s even good for a Belgian, or for that matter any other band, but it’s nothing special either.
Ach, split singles...a delight to the record collector when bands contribute exclusive tracks to such vinyl delights, and especially when one of the bands concerned turns out to be a previously unknown entity...but a sheer nightmare to music journalists having to review such offerings, when not having review either of the bands before! I mean, having bought Cortez' 2007 debut “EP” Thunder In A Forgotten Town, I'm already familiar with what they bring, but until recently most things Stoner were left to a specialist colleague.
Weird band, this Bo Ningen: all members are Japan-born, but the band itself is based in London!
Founded in 2011, and consisting of singer Thomas Marijse, guitarists Didier Cottenies, Sven Caes and Glenn Labie, bass player Frederik Declerck, and drummer Gianni de Lobelle (whom recently affiliated himself to this here website as a reviews writer), Basement Critters is a Belgian Heavy Metal band with roots in Punk-Hardcore act Fuseless (of which some BC members were part), which rocked the local stages in the Flanders provinces during th
