DUSKLINGDuskling is a Hybrid Metal band carving out their own space in the twilight between melody and aggression. Blending soaring clean vocals with guttural grunts, and fusing pop-leaning hooks with razor-sharp breakdowns, the band shapes a sound that feels both familiar and entirely new.
Their music lives in the in-between: the moment where light fades, shadows settle, and anything can happen. Duskling embraces that tension, weaving atmospheric layers, emotional depth, and crushing heaviness into songs that hit hard while remaining accessible.
With each track they explore contrast: beauty and chaos, clarity and distortion, day and night. On stage, this duality becomes physical. An energy that shifts from intimate to explosive, inviting the audience into their evolving world.
Duskling isn’t here to fit into a subgenre.
They’re here to redefine the edges of modern metal.
This is Hybrid Metal. This is the sound of the dusk.
Bryan Heremans: Drums
Dries Schouteren: Guitar

STONEMULE
Born in the West Flemish underground, Stonemule erupted onto the scene in 2014 with raw, unfiltered hardcore/punk energy. Founded by Tom Vandaele (Urge for Blood, GOD), Benjamin Himpens, Ruben Dewilde, and Dries Herreman, the band quickly gained a reputation for their intense live shows. A shift came in 2015 when bassist Dries departed, making way for Wannes Breyne and the introduction of dual vocals—setting the stage for
something heavier.
By 2016, Stonemule hit pause, re-emerging in 2017 with asludgier, doomsoaked sound. www.dumpmagazine.be summed it up: “Kyuss coated with sludge, sewing pitch-black riffs with precision and Mastodon-like vocal magic.”
Their 2018 debut EP, Dystopian State, recorded on a shoestring budget, made serious waves. Fusing hardcore, stoner metal, and doom, it earned critical acclaim—GBHBL hailed it as “EP of the year”, while Merchants of Air praised its “sheer energy and hardcore-infused stoner metal.”
In 2021, they dropped “Bitter”, a single featured on Polderriffs Volume II.
Then, the world stood still. Lineup changes and a pandemic-induced hiatus kept things quiet for over two years.
Now, 2025 marks Stonemule’s return. Armed with new members Jon Huyghe and Tom Schelfaut, they’re recharged, heavier than ever, and ready to shake the foundations with new music and blistering live shows.
TURPENTINE VALLEY
Tien jaar na hun ontstaan klinkt Turpentine Valley donkerder, rijper en vastberadener dan ooit. Op hun derde plaat Veuel (2026) klinkt het trio nu eens compromisloos log en massief, dan weer meeslepend en melancholisch. Hun instrumentale post-metal vertelt het verhaal dat je er zelf bij invult, als je je er maar voor open stelt.
Na Etch (2019) – waarvan drie nummers opdoken in soundtrack van de Netflix-serie De Twaalf – en Alder (2022) knaagt Veuel (2026) gretig verder aan de grenzen van het genre. En dat doet het hard, innemend en nietsontziend.
Turpentine Valley is:
Kristof Balduyck – guitars
Thomas Maes – bass
Roel Berlaen – drums
