VI.BE

ONRUST is a metal band from Antwerp (Belgium), creating a dark wall of sound only to be interrupted with intimate clean parts.

They released their first full album 'De Oogst' in 2018, handling everything from songwriting over production and recording to artwork themselves in a true DIY spirit. Playing a good amount of shows in support of that album release, brought them to all corners of Belgium and the Netherlands. They steadily built a strong live reputation in the underground scene, leading them to bigger stages like Antwerp Metal Fest and even a supporting act for Cult of Luna in Trix.

Early 2020 the band started working on a follow-up record. Unfortunately all progress halted due to COVID-19, personnel changes and other issues beyond their control. The band went quiet for a couple of years.

But now ONRUST is ready for a full, explosive comeback. Core members Bo, Ruben and Thomas got complemented with a new rhythm section composed of Patrice and Michael-John. The band is tighter than ever, strongly motivated and eager to share new music.

Quoted as "Belgium's best kept post-metal secret", you can expect a perfect execution of clair-obscur, painting an image of bleakness and despair with just a hint of hope.

The recording of second full album 'Van Woede tot Wanhoop' is reaching its final stages, getting ready to be released in 2025. ONRUST is back.
