Drums Are For Parades is a powerhouse Belgian band known for their mighty blend of sludge metal, noise rock, and hardcore. Since their formation, they have carved out a niche for themselves within the metal scene with their intense live performances and a sound that's as colossal as it is nuanced. Core members Wim Reygaert (vocals, guitar), Piet Dierickx (drums), and Kristof J. Mondy (bass) channel raw energy into a sonic fury that deftly balances aggression with elements of psychedelia and experimental noise.

The band's relentless creative pursuit saw daylight with notable releases like their critically acclaimed album "Master," which captures the eclectic and brutal essence of their craft. The release of "Artificial Sacrificial Darkness in the Temple of the Damned" further cemented their reputation for crafting densely layered soundscapes, combining hypnotic rhythms with a visceral wall of sound. In their latest single, "Virgin Powder" featuring Silver Surfering Rudeboy, Drums Are For Parades demonstrates their continuous evolution, merging thunderous percussion with a depth of melody and a cooperative spirit, collaborating across genres to expand their already formidable auditory palette. These works exemplify the band's commitment to pushing the boundaries of heavy music and ensuring their place at the forefront of innovative metal.
