After 6 years, it was time for Wolvennest to enter the cult venue Magasin 4 again. Formed in 2013 by Michel Kirby, Marc De Backer and Corvus Von Burtle, the trio released a first full length in collaboration with Austrian veterans Der Blutharsch in 2016 through Weme Records. This weird album got in the radar of occult German label Van records, that repressed it and is since then Wolvennest collaborator for every release. Joined soon after by a solid live line up, the band found in Shazzula its voice and synth/theremin magician. In 2018, Wolvennest released their sophomore "Void" in 2018. Thanks to this album, Wolvennest toured Europe twice and had the chance to perform it, fully, at Roadburn 2019 edition. The "Vortex "EP was released the same year. 2021 proved to be, despite the "no live music era", a busy year for the Wolvennest collective: a double album (Temple), a live album (live in Ancienne Belgique) and a collaboration under the "Nest" banner, featuring long time friends from the Occult European circle. The sextet, regularly joined by their producer Déhà on stage, will hit Magasin 4 and and be able to present the album "Temple" for the first time in Brussels. While it's not a release party per se, it sure looks like it.
Blackened doom metal with (former) members of Spectre, Absolutus, Humanitas Error Est and Garden of Decay. Listen to Bockreiter first demo "the pandemic demo recordings 2020" on bandcamp...it's a blast!!!
We did start as PARTIKUL, 3 years ago in Brussels. In June 2019 we recorded 4 songs, a EP ( VENUS VIRUS ) released in October 2019, before the pandemia. In spring 2021 we've recorded our first full length album ' Related Memories ' and it came out in October on our label ' Exit does not exist Records ' . We had the chance to shoot our first video ' Curse ' in a manor from a friend and it was a great experience. Just playing some music together and being creative as a couple is already something special for us. We are influenced by bands such as : Siouxie, Boy Harsher, the soft moon, Moon duo, Tuxedomoon, Nitzer Ebb, the Smiths...
" here some reviews:
" ...In the eighties Belgium was one of the leading countries in the field of electro with bands such as Front 242, The Klinik, Vomito Negro... Today it is still the case. The Brussels band Partikul is one of the standard bearers of the contemporary electro scene. Since 2019, Aly and Stef have been making dark electro influenced by Lydia Lunch, Boy Harsher, Tuxedomoon, Nitzer Ebb, The Smiths, Moon Duo and The Soft Moon... " (https://luminousdash.be/singles/partikul-curse-eigen-beheer/)" ... Deftly combining icy minimal analog electronics and poignant guitar magnetism, fueled by cold, mechanical industrialized rhythms, Partikul's dark organic and synthetic sound is both dreary and alienating, sharp and danceable... " (https://www.whitelight-whiteheat.com/wl-wh-track-of-the-day-partikul-im-yours/)" ... As a flavor enhancer, they throw Curse in our faces, a dark wave track with ebm elements such as industrial-sounding synths, mechanical drums and a bass like a demolition hammer... " (https://damusic.be/dossier/partikul-curse-2989.html)« ... If your body doesn't react to this manic electro jackhammer consult your doctor and ask for an adrenaline injection. This non-stop synth steamroller goes 100 miles per hour without looking back. No brakes, full steam ahead. The fast and the furious for some explosive dance floor action. A crushing curse you'll embrace with both arms while pirouetting yourself dizzy... »
