Nieuws | dunk!festival 2022: we gaan nog even door.
En huplahoi, wat te denken van nog eens vier nieuwe namen voor dit fantastische festival. Voor het eerst niet meer op de gekende lokatie, maar wel in Kunstencentrum Vooruit (Gent).
Ja het zal even wennen zijn, vooral omdat het intieme, gezellige bospodium zal gemist worden. Anderzijds hoeft niemand zich zorgen te maken wat het weer betreft en blijft er een verschil in sfeer wat de diverse podia betreft. Knop omdraaien en genieten dus!

๐๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐บ๐๐ฟ ๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐ป๐๐ธ This veteran Ukranian composer is something a bit different than weโre accustomed to at the festival, but his inclusion marks an opportunity to witness something akin to a force of nature. His fusion of melody and virtuosity is as beautiful as it is intense, and we count ourselves extremely lucky to have the opportunity to view such a striking marriage.
๐๐บ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐น These Swedish ambient dream pop luminaries recently became an exciting new addition to the dunk!records family, releasing their stripped back and strikingly beautiful 2021 record Distance on our label. Meditative and moving, their music explores minimalism to uncover extraordinary melodic heights, creating for the listener a world that is expansive and alive. Donโt underestimate the softness of their delivery, because once you allow their music in youโll find a uniquely profound experience near at hand.
๐ง๐ต๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป 2022 marks a decade and a half in the post-metal game for this Italian outfit, and their veteran savvy and maturity is on full display on their most recent record, 2020โs Del fuoco. Translating to โof fire,โ itโs an apt descriptor, as the record indicates painstaking effort devoted to the construction of a landscape permeated with a sense of seething fury just under the surface. This is a band that recognizes the vital importance of patience as a key factor in the enduring resonance of post-metal, and weโre excited for them to bring their years of experience to the dunk! stage.
๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ If this name doesnโt sound familiar, donโt worry, itโs not just you; this young Belgian band reached out to us with their debut EP not long ago, and we enjoyed it so much that we knew immediately they needed to be at this yearโs event. Bringing together the best elements of post-rock and post-hardcore, they feature snarling, antagonistic vocals that complement some seriously powerful riffs. We think these newcomers have hit upon quite an impressive fusion, and weโre certain youโll feel the same.
