FULL TILT BOOGIE - January 2008

About Me


SET THE TONE was created in 1998 @ Liège - Belgium. Each STT member has its own influences and the result can be described as a mix between agressive Metal, Doom and Stoner Rock.
STT has played more than 100 gigs so far with international bands of all styles (Sick Of It All, Alabama Thunderpussy, Hatesphere, Kill 2 This, High On Fire, Downset, The Haunted, ...) and they have also played at the biggest festivals & venues in Belgium (Dour Festival, Nuits de l'Entrepôt, Durbuyrock, Le Botanique, Muziek-O-Droom, Nandrin Rock, Maximum HxC Fest, Spirit Of 66, Fiesta du Rock, ...).
SET THE TONE has released a few demo cds between 2000 and 2003, a split cd (with ES LA GUERILLA) on french label "Several Bleeds Records" in 2005 and an EP in 2007. The band is now working on the first STT full length album entitled "FULL TILT BOOGIE". This album will be released in january 2008 via "Ruined Lives Records" & "We Are All Liars Records" (Bang! Distribution).




My Interests

Music:

Band Website: setthetone.be
Band Members: Den (vocals), Fred (guitars), Rolls (guitars), Cho (drums), John (bass)

Sounds Like: "Just figure out some kind of ultra heavy and groovy doom/stoner metal with a hardcore touch (mainly in vocals) ! Each guitar note is hitting you rather hard, same goes with the deep screamings that are taking you down in the depths of the band’s insanity. Some nice accelerations come as salvation, followed by groovier stoner-influenced passages that are one of the numerous trademarks of this band." (www.deathmetal.be)
"Set the tone, le groupe de Liège revient avec un promo cd qui annonce un album qui risque de faire un grand boum dans le genre musical dans lequel ils évoluent et ce boum sera à l'échelle nationnale voir même internationnale. En effet ce groupe pratique un stoner metal des plus lourds et lents aussi, qui fait évidemment penser immédiatement à Pantera et autres groupes metal assez arrosés dans le bourbon made in USA. Mais ils ne s'en contentent pas. On pourrait dire qu'en plus se rajoutent des parties qui me font penser à des groupes plus sludge/doom dans l'idée de par la lenteur et la lourdeur de leur son."
