What’s in a name? As a tribute to his deceased brother, Brent Vanneste – at age 13 – decided to start his own band ‘Steak Number Eight’, referring to a song title of his brother’s metal band Voidpoint.

Today, Steak Number Eight are about to release their third album titled “KOSMOKOMA”.

This postmetal powerhouse has been inflicting their unique brand of sonic terrorism since they released their debut EP “When the Candle Dies Out”, back in 2008.

KOSMOKOMA is an eleven-song long behemoth that clocks in at just over an hour and seven minutes.

For the mix of the album, the band found a kindred spirit in triple Grammy-winning producer/engineer David Bottrill, known best for his work with Tool (Aenima & Lateralus), King Crimson (Thrak) and Muse (Origin of Symmetry).

Eros and Thanatos.

Ying and Yang.

Whatever you may call it: where hope meets desperation, where light meets darkness, where beauty meets ugliness is where we find our truest selves.

Explore your subconscious and let yourself drown in the sounds of KOSMOKOMA.

Destroy.

And rebuild.

Forever.

• 2 LP Yellow & Black Marble Vinyl.
