Belgian band WIEGEDOOD takes a conceptual approach to Black Metal. Their first albums were released as a trilogy. “De Doden Hebben Het Goed” I, II and III reflected each other thematically and sonically. Their latest album "There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road" focuses on the filthiest and most disgusting parts of human nature and society. It steers clear from the typical Black Metal themes and concepts, instead zoning in on the struggle we lead within, trying to overcome the fact we are all made from that same filth. Exploring places the previous trilogy didn’t even scratch the surface of, both lyrically and musically. A first-hand look into pure disgust, a psychotic ride with synths, tape-recorders, hot club jazz and distressing samples. A definite switch from previous work, a dark turn into something unexpected and unwelcome.

Wrong Man follows an idiosyncratic path within the alternative circuit. With a lineup that earned its stripes in iconic bands such as Oathbreaker, Rise and Fall, and Partisan, the band leaves its hardcore roots behind in favor of a sound they describe as soulful post-hardcore. The result is a dynamic blend—just as noisy as it is melodic, at times bluesy and moody.

Their sound invites comparisons to legends like Quicksand, Sonic Youth, and The Wipers, yet Wrong Man remains firmly committed to its own distinct ’90s aesthetic. Following the strong releases Who Are You? (2022) and the layered Big Plans (2023), the collective is currently working on a debut full-length album that promises to be their most diverse work to date.
