Strongly influenced by bands such as Pelican, Isis, Sunn O))) and Amenra, Belgian band STAKE produces a hypnotic mix of post-rock and sludge metal. Also on their brand new aural fragmentation bomb ‘LOVE, DEATH AND DECAY’ singer-guitarist Brent Vanneste, guitarist Cis Deman, bassist Jesse Surmont and percussion maniac Joris Casier ram everything completely to pieces according to the STAKE hallmark: manic, tight, intense, hypnotic and oppressive. Not for nothing that STAKE is internationally acclaimed for its quirkiness, intensity and musical elusiveness, among other things. Fuck yeah.
