Steak Number Eight are a promising Belgian band, which they emphasized by winning the Humo's Rock Rally (a talent contest organised by a Belgian magazine, and no it is completely different from the standard Idol contests or whatever). These guys have been influenced by all the right bands, and you can clearly hear them on this record. I'm thinking about Isis, Do Make Say Think, Pelican, Neurosis and other delicious references.So what's so special about these guys then? Well, listen to the power and the conviction on this record. Listen to how they allow their listeners a breather from time to time, and then drop another bombsheel on your head just when you've recuperated. And most of all: the oldest member in this band is eightteen. The singer Brent Vanneste is actually only 16, but man does his grunt blow me away every time again. I once saw these guys live, and it was absolutely amazing...
True, there is a lot of work still ahead and progress to be made to find their own way, but taking into account the age of these kids and the fact that this is their very first album (which they produced on a mere laptop in their bedroom), you can only gawk and be impressed.
Check it out and be overwhelmed!!!
