De Mannen Broeders (BE/NL)

De Mannen Broeders are the latest embodiment of the boundless talent that is Colin H. Van Eeckhout known to most as the frontman of Belgian cult metal band Amenra. We’ve had the pleasure of hosting Colin countless times before and this year we’re extremely thrilled to see him pairing up with none other than legendary Dutch folk singer-songwriter Tonnie “Brother” Dieleman! The duo will delight us with their dark neo-folk compositions, filled with a melancholic aura and possessed by an ancestral character. Loosely translating to “a frugal meal”, their debut album “Sober Maal” is minimalist in concept but maximalist in scope and return, investigating the full spectrum of human emotions through rarefied song structures, embellished with gothic arrangements and diluted drone elements. Never have two musicians so apparently different in style (agli antipodi) come together to form such an iron-clad musical bond. Get ready to be swept away.
