If ever the phrase ‘an old head on young shoulders’ was coined for a specific purpose then it would have to refer to young Belgian rock quartet Steak Number Eight. With a collective age of less than eighty years old this metal powerhouse had been inflicting their unique brand of sonic terrorism since 2008 when they were all but aged fifteen. They unleashed their debut EP ‘When The Candle Dies Out…;’ the same year, ensuring the post rock / sludge metal teenagers left giant footprints across their native lowlands. Media frenzy followed them with mainstream newspaper and TV/radio coverage resulting in them being honoured by winning the HUMO‘s rock rally, hosted by Belgium’s biggest rock publication thus propelling them to national treasure status.
