Barking dogs don’t bite? Then you’ve certainly never stuck your hand in the mouth of a barking Pitweiler or Rottbull. A show by Antwerp-based metal BARK (founded in 2016 by gang members of such established acts as Aguardente, Your Highness, Marginal and Hard Resistance) has a similar effect: for a moment it hurts like hell, but once the blood drips out of your ears as these rabid metal marginals bark their toxic mix of groovy stoner rock, furious thrash, sludgy industrial and hardcore dangerously hard in your face, adrenaline and dopamine draw a red haze in front of your eyes and you will automatically slip into a trance. Feels fucking great.
