Wiegedood, a band reverberating from the lands of Belgium, stands as a formidable force in the realm of atmospheric black metal. Formed in 2014, the band comprises members known from other acts within the hardcore and metal scenes, most notably Leviathan Speaks, Oathbreaker, and Amenra. The trio—guitarist/vocalist Levy Seynaeve, drummer Wim Sreppoc, and guitarist Gilles Demolder—unites to forge a sonic experience that is both profoundly intense and eerily ambient, encapsulating an essence that feels derived from the natural world and its inherent darkness.

Wiegedood swiftly began to carve their grim niche with their debut album, "De Doden Hebben Het Goed," released in 2015, which translates to "The Dead Fare Well," a theme that hauntingly courses through their earlier works. What followed was a relentless pursuit of growth and evolution, with the critically acclaimed "De Doden Hebben Het Goed II" and "De Doden Hebben Het Goed III" completing a trilogy that charts a journey through loss, grief, and desolation. Their discography, including the latest opus "There's Always Blood At The End Of The Road," alongside tracks like "Carousel" and "FN SCAR 16," shows the band delving deeper into their niche, crafting sprawling epics that are monumental in their ferocity and depth. Wiegedood's music is marked by a brooding atmosphere, painting bleak landscapes with torrents of guitar, relentless drumming, and piercing screams that capture the cathartic essence of their black metal roots.
