Hedonist, a hard rockin’, hard groovin’ power trio from Genk, formed in the summer of 2010 when Roel Paulussen (K’pow, Hando Yahama, ex-SardoniS, ex-Solenoid, ex-Barabbas) and Frederik “Cozy” Cosemans (Hemelbestormer, Rituals Of The Dead Hand, ex-Serpentcult, ex-Death Penalty) decided to have a few jams together. The thunderous bass and roaring vocals of Frank “Frenz” Homolka (The Killbots, ex-Solenoid) were the perfect fit for Cozy’s maniacal beats and Roel’s neckbreaking axework and so the “power of three” was complete.

On their first release, a split with stoner/sludge giants Your Highness, Hedonist delivered an exciting, energetic and compelling mix of Motörhead, High On Fire, Karma To Burn and Monster Magnet that suckerpunched audiences straight in the face. No nonsense, no bullshit, no fancy gimmicks, just pure, honest, kick-ass rock’n’roll.

In the year 2016, the time came to release the equally staggering full-length »The Collapse«, nothing more than the equivalent of a battering ram. Thirty-seven minutes of sheer rockin’ mayhem. All killer, absolutely no filler! The last few years, Hedonist laid down low for various reasons, but the beast was far from dead, just sleeping and slumbering below the surface.

During the summer of 2023, the new record »Eat Thus« was recorded at Studio Jupiter with the help of sound wizard Koenraad Foesters (ex-Rhinos Are People Too). Eight blistering new tracks, more mature and sophisticated than before, but still relentlessly rocking and fueled with a rather large dose of high octane. With sheer power houses like »Dirtscraper« and first single »Golden Voodoo Witch«, straight up anthems like »Just Start Kicking« and the short but sweet Karma To Burn-inspired rocker »Warrior« and the unforgiving riff attack of »Kryszty C«, »Eat Thus« is an album that will eat you alive, spit you out and then eat you again! So brace yourselves, take it in and witness the madness wherever and whenever you can!
