Belgian speed metal band from Limburg self-described as purveyors of "high speed, energetic, bitchin' heavy metal" and leaders of the "new wave of Belgian heavy metal," with three albums from "King of the Road" (2017) through "...With A Bang!" (2025). Their unabashed 1980s revival ethos and amplifiers-to-eleven philosophy have made them a prominent force in Belgium's traditional metal scene.
