The contemporary Belgian heavy music scene keeps spawning awesome bands, and B R I Q U E V I L L E are among the most intriguing and compelling of them! The meditative heaviness of their sound and the careful engineering of the visual aspects of their mesmerizing live-performance rituals are awe-inspiring and challenging in equal measure.

After 2017's dazzling instrumental opus 'II', the Flemish 5-piece finally return with their 3rd studio album, one of the first real pandemic-albums to be released on Pelagic. The band members had to finish the album in separation, which worked out better than they had initially expected; some tracks grew larger than intended and others became more stripped-back.

The end result is a staggering album that is sophisticated and smothering at the same time, made up of altogether shorter songs as compared to the previous release, and there is a more prominent focus on those tasty electronics, which have always been an integral part of B R I Q U EV I L L E's sound.
