Hippotraktor – My Diligence

Delicious double bill for anyone with a weakness for progressive and post metal. Two Belgian toppers in one evening!

Hippotraktor

Hippotraktor is a progressive metal band from Mechelen. Intriguing textures and strange atmospheres are just some of the cogs that turn the engine of machine Hippotraktor. With ‘Stasis’, Hippotraktor returns, the powerful follow-up to their impressive 2021 debut album ‘Meridian’. This album balances precisely between the grandeur of nature and the chaotic nature of our own existence. It documents human turmoil with explosive riffs and compelling grooves, brought by closely connected musicians and close friends, confident in their collective skills. Hippotraktor finally finds its rhythm with the permanent addition of guitarist/vocalist Sander Rom and percussionist/vocalist Stefan De Graef.

My Diligence

My Diligence proudly stands at the top as one of Belgium’s most prominent Heavy Psych bands, constantly on the lookout for high-quality progressive stoner rock. Based in Brussels, the trio elegantly combines catchy harmonies with compelling riffs, and has been captivating listeners for years. After the success of ‘The Matter, Form and Power,’ My Diligence makes a powerful return with their fourth album, ‘DEATH.HORSES.BLACK.’ This album explores dark themes and marks a turning point in the band’s history. The long and profound compositions lead the listener through unexpected territories. They create an aural experience akin to a lucid dream or trance, oscillating between hope and ultimate darkness.
