Ramkot

Ramkot is a wrecking ball from Ghent, Belgium, playing powerful yet danceable rock music. After two EPs and building a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands around, they released their debut album In Between Borderlines in the spring of 2023 — a razor-sharp 25-minute uppercut aimed at both head and hips.

They toured extensively, playing a staggering 100 shows in just one year: from steamy venues and sun-drenched festival stages (Pinkpop, Down The Rabbit Hole) to opening for Metallica in Amsterdam.

For their sophomore album, instead of producing it themselves again, Ramkot enlisted producer Alain Johannes (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures), who invited them to the Joshua Tree desert. For three weeks, the band resided in the legendary Rancho De La Luna studio, famous for QOTSA frontman Josh Homme’s The Desert Sessions.

“We pulled out all the stops, not pushing our foot down on the accelerator all the time, which allows the music to breathe more. There are a couple of softer songs the fans will not expect from us.”

But rest assured, every single note shall sound very much like Ramkot.

Last summer, the band only played a handful of shows, including 2000 Trees (UK), Sziget (H), Pukkelpop (BE), and Lowlands (NL).
