Psychonaut
- DAY: 04.06

- COUNTRY: Belgium
Light yet heavy. Etheric yet intense. Playing with juxtaposition is one of the main specialities of the Belgian band Psychonaut. And they are one of the best bands in the contemporary, expansive world of post-metal. They combine a poetic sensitivity with earth-shuttering riffs. Theyโll rise to the challenge, rest assured.ย
History:
Psychonaut was formed in 2013 in a small Belgian town of Mechelen. From the beginning, they were drawn to those nooks and crannies of guitar music where power and space act as one organism. Among their inspirations theyโve named Tool and Amenra, but also Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, among others. Add in to the mix a strong spiritual element, which constitutes the central axis of their material, and we have a full-fledged portrait of the band. After releasing two well-received EPs, the band debuted with a full-length album, Unfold the God Man. The record piqued the interest of the post-metal underworld. Since then, Psychonaut have been moving up and up. Their latest record is the 2025 World Maker.ย
