Raketkanon was a Belgian band known for creating a boisterous blend of sludge, noise rock, and experimental music. Formed in Ghent, Belgium, in 2010, the group quickly gained a reputation for their intense live performances and unique sound shaped by electronics, distorted vocals, and fierce, rhythmic energies. The band comprised of members Pieter-Paul Devos (vocals), Lode Vlaeminck (synths), Jef Verbeeck (guitars), and Pieter de Wilde (drums), each contributing to the chaotic yet intricately structured soundscapes that define their discography.

Their creative output, as reflected in their album titles, was numerically sequenced—kicking off with their debut "RKTKN#1" in 2012, followed by "Rktkn#2" in 2015, and culminating with their concluding album "RKTKN #3" in 2019. Their music was characterized by its intensity and unconventional structure, sidestepping traditional songwriting in favor of a more visceral, instinctive approach. The single "Ricky," alongside other tracks, showcases their tendency to mix heavy riffs with electronic sounds and spectral vocals. Although Raketkanon announced their disbandment in 2019, their legacy remains encapsulated in their three full-length releases, which continue to captivate listeners within the spheres of underground rock.
