Ter Info
Belgium’s sludge lords Your Highness are back with their most crushing and refined effort yet: “Under The Weight”, their fourth full-length album (...)., Since storming onto the scene in 2009 with their heavy DIY ethos, colossal riffs, and raw energy, YOUR HIGHNESS have been an unstoppable force in the underground music world for 15 years.
“Under The Weight” sees Your Highness honing in on their signature blend of bulldozing sludge, groove-laden stoner metal, and dark, bluesy undertones. The album showcases the band at their heaviest and most dynamic yet, offering listeners a ride through crushing riffs, gut-punching rhythms, and haunting melodies that channel their earlier influences while pushing their sound into uncharted territory.
Recorded, mixed and mastered in their own studio dungeon by the acclaimed Martin Furia and the band’s own Bart Struyf, Under The Weight captures the band’s untamed spirit with quality production, giving the album a raw yet pure edge. Artwork comes courtesy of long-time collaborators Joachim Cols and Ben Baert, reflecting the earth crushing theme that runs through the record.
