Hippotraktor

Sobre

Belgian progressive post-metal quintet Hippotraktor have released their second full-length album, ‘Stasis’, on June 7th 2024 via Berlin’s Pelagic Records. Originally a three-piece instrumental outfit consisting of Mechelen-based producer, songwriter and guitarist Chiaran Verheyden, bassist Jakob Fiszer and Lander De Nyn on drums, Hippotraktor finally found its stride with the permanent introduction of guitarist/vocalist Kristof Du Jardin (Mankind) and percussionist/vocalist Stefan De Graef (Psychonaut). The combination of Chiaran’s impressionistic songwriting ambitions and Stefan’s powerful, narrative-charged lyrics proved to be a golden combination on the band’s debut album, ‘Meridian’, which masterfully transformed the band’s disparate instrumental compositions into a singular, driving work of sonic fiction.
