Your Highness

Belgium has become quite a hotbed for musical talent from all across the board in recent years and so here’s one rad stoner rock band to surely keep an eye on. Your Highness hail from Ghent and are savvy in the ways of the riff, bringing together a strong affinity for blues, groovy melodies and a healthy dose of humor. Come forth, raise your glass and rock along!

Sinds hun eerste show staan de mannen van BARK bekend als de vuilste en ruigste band van Vlaanderen! De mix van hardcore-sludge en stoner wordt onder aanvoering van brulboei Ron Bruyneels bij elke show met verve de zaal ingestuwd. Antwerp Metal Fest moest er al tweemaal aan geloven en Graspop werd vorig jaar omvergeblazen.

BEAR celebrates 15 years of pure, uncompromising aggression. The Antwerp-based progressive hardcore band has lost none of its intensity over the years, on the contrary. Their latest album Vanta is the result of years of struggle, pain, and perseverance. No light without darkness. After the release of 'Propaganda' (2020), guitarist James Falck was diagnosed with cancer, forcing the band into a period of uncertainty and recovery. Then, the pandemic brought the entire music scene to a halt. While many called it quits, BEAR kept fighting. They channeled illness, loss, frustration, and depression into their heaviest and most relentless work to date.

15 years of BEAR means 15 years of unwavering strength, cathartic noise, and pure hardcore. FEAR THE BEAR!
