Demon Head (DK) + Echo Solar Void

Collectif Mental proudly presents:


Demon Head (doom metal/hard rock - Dk) - First time in Brussels!

Demon Head is truly a long lasting constellation of fierce love for engaging and dark rock music, which through the years have proven both their dedication and the ability to evolve in leaps, always burning and always searching. Though hesitant to compromise the description of the music they perform through generalizing terms of genre, they've coined the term Diabolic Rock as an appropriate presentation.
In 2023 the band celebrated their first decade as a live band by re-recording a special version of their very first song, Demon Head, featuring the legendary Jinx Dawson of Coven, and performing three special festival shows in Denmark and Sweden.
It is important to pay attention to the journey from Ride the Wilderness (2015), a juvenile and hungry adventure exploring the boundless courage of classic rock music, onto Thunder on the Fields (2017), turning their inspirations further towards the strange and sinister purposes of life, a tendency followed and completed on Hellfire Ocean Void (2019), with its gothic and nothing but otherworldly song-writing and production. Demon Head is recognized for their uncompromising and independent practice, having written, recorded, produced, mixed, filmed, photographed, drawn, printed, chauffeured, practiced every second and every cell of the body that is Demon Head, leaving their development and growth as an organism completely free from the restraints of capitalism. What is left is a vessel, containing every possibility of collectivity, courage, rebellion, daydreaming, friendship, faint hope, clenched fists and open hearts.
Released in January 2021 via Metal Blade Records, the most recent album Viscera marked a new beginning. Recorded during the first months of 2020 between the legendary Sweet Silence Studios by Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica, Morbid Angel, Mercyful Fate, Rainbow, etc.) and a remote country house in Sweden, the production shows the impeccable qualities of joined forces and manages to translate the intensity of the quintet's live performances into carefully crafted studio productions, where acoustic instruments, flourishing mellotron strings, brass instruments, tape manipulation, cryptic guitar compositions, eerie vocal harmonies and pipe organ are displayed in equal measure to their already established attributions as a rock band.
Demon Head continues to be hungry. Their fifth studio album, Through Holes Shine the Stars, will be out on 20th September 2024 via Svart Records.

Echo Solar Void (drone/doom metal - Be)

echo Solar Void is a psychedelic doom band from Brussels, Belgium. Their first eponymous album (one 48 minute song) is the result of two years dedicated to space and heavy music, starting in the complete emptiness and ending in blinding illuminations.
The backbone of the band is a mix of roaring fuzzes, genres-defying drums, trippy mantras, super heavy basses and electronic waves.
Exploring the galactic void with Echo Solar Void leads to an amped-up exhausting trip through many unexpected places.
