Hemelbestormer
A homegrown, underground post-rock artist.
HEMELBESTORMER, a four piece Belgian collective of long time servants in the metal scene, is a Dutch word which can be literally translated as "stormer of heaven", but is given to those with revolutionary minds and idealists. Since 2012 Hemelbestormer opens the doors to a new universe and shout out a mix of various genres, like doom, ambient & black metal, combined to an instrumental light-dark balanced whole. The Hemelbestormer sigil is marked on various places in Europe. They aim for quality, not quantity. With minimalistic lights and entrancing space projections, each show feels like being sucked into a black hole. Live highlights: Roadburn, Desertfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, House Of The Holy/Funkenflug, Void Fest, Dunk!Fest, Dome Of Rock, Alcatraz, Northern Discomfort, Dark Bombastic Evening, Ieperfest, ArcTanGent, Soulcrusher, Into The Void, Lake on Fire… DISCOGRAPHY: - Portals (CD/TP/LP ConSouling Sounds 2014) - Aether (CD/TP/2LP Debemur Morti Productions 2016) - A Ring of Blue Light (CD/TP/2LP Ván Records 2018) - Collide & Merge (2CD/2LP Ván Records 2021) - out on July 25th: The radiant Veil (CD/2LP Pelagic Records 2025)
