Sounds | ONRUST - Wanhoop

In het Belgische postmetallandschap is het ondertussen onmogelijk geworden zich als band nog te onderscheiden. Prove me wrong als je het hier niet mee eens bent. Ook het Antwerpse ONRUST blijft netjes binnen de genreconventies waarbij hevige onweders onderbroken worden door zachte herfstbuien. De emoties blijven immers hevig en donker, of het nu om brutale uitbarstingen gaat of meer ingetogen passages. Tekstueel is ons Nederlands de voertaal waardoor de band met de songs misschien net dat ietsje nauwer wordt. Misschien niet origineel, wel nog steeds ongemeen sterk.

Van Woede tot Wanhoop verschijnt op 17 oktober 2025 verschenen via dunk!records.

Onrust is a post-metal band from Antwerp (Belgium), creating a forward-driven, dark, yet defined wall of sound only to be interrupted with intimate clean parts.

They released their first full album 'De Oogst' in 2018, handling everything from songwriting over production and recording to artwork in a true DIY spirit. The album was well received and resulted in a good number of shows all over Belgium and the Netherlands.

They steadily built a strong live reputation in the underground scene (quoted as “Belgium's best kept post-metal secret”), leading them to play bigger stages like Antwerp Metal Fest and even the aftershow for Cult of Luna at Trix, Antwerp.

Early 2020 the band started working on their follow-up record. Focussing on the songwriting and production of that album, they played only a handful of shows to feel what works and to further finetune the songs that make the album.

'Van Woede tot Wanhoop' (...) won't leave an audience untouched. Expect an explosive, tight live performance and perfect execution of clair-obscur, painting an image of bleakness and despair with just a hint of hope. ONRUST is back. ONRUST is: Ruben Podevyn – Vocals

Bo Engelen – Guitar

Thomas De Groof – Guitar

Patrice Van Damme – Bass

Michael-John Joosen – Drums
