Hippotraktor: a Mechelen post-hardcore sledgehammer blow
Whoever likes being shaken up thoroughly knows where to go. Hippotraktor serves an intense mix of post-hardcore, heavy riffs, complex rhythms and captivating soundscapes. Think of the atmospheric violence of Gojira, but according to this Mechelen band's own rules of the game. Moreover, they share the label Pelagic Records with Psychonaut and Pothamus.
The strong stories behind the music come, among others, from the pen of Chiaran Verheyden (ex-L’Itch) and Stefan De Graef (Psychonaut). Met Stefan as vocalist gave the instrumental basis of Hippotraktor an extra dimension: more emotion, more tension and even more impact.
Live, that becomes an experience that is hard to overlook. Especially in De Club, where you do not exactly have kilometers of distance to catch your breath. Expect a solid trip full of build-up, release and controlled chaos. Head off, volume on.
