Junius (us)
Nearly 10 years after their last European tour, we thought it was about time that we brought the masters of cathartic post-metal Junius back to Belgium! We always appreciated Junius for consistently pushing the boundaries of genre conventions, crafting a unique sonic landscape that seamlessly blends elements of post-rock, post-metal, post punk and shoegaze. The band's ethereal soundscapes, haunting melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim over the years, and of course, our total and unconditional admiration. It seems fitting then that we’d add them to our special 20th anniversary edition doesn’t it? Get ready for a truly emotional rollercoaster ride when these champions of everything post- climb on stage again!
After almost 2 decades, Junius has now expanded into a 5-piece juggernaut with founders Joseph E. Martinez and Dana Filloon joined by three new members: Orion Wainer (Constants, Tombs), Matthew Vincenty (Glacier), and Eoghan McCarthy(Circus Trees). The Junius wall of sound is even more mountainous as a 5 piece. With a history of critically acclaimed albums like "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist," "Reports from the Threshold of Death" and "Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light," Junius remains a force to be reckoned with in the post-metal landscape. As they embark on this exciting new chapter, the band's dedication to artistic evolution and the creation of profound, emotive music ensures that Junius will continue to captivate audiences around the world for years to come!
