About Juneau:
Juneau is an alternative metalband that originated from Heist-op-den-Berg, a town located in the Flanders region of Belgium. Known for their atmospheric and dynamic sound, Juneau blends elements of post-rock, doom, black metal, and other heavy genres, creating a unique musical identity that resonates with fans across Belgium and beyond.
Formed in 2019, the band initially consisted of drummer Soren Van Bauwel and guitarists Kevin Cravillon and Antoon Verbeeck, who share a deep passion for creating emotionally charged music. Their sound is often characterized by rich guitar textures and intricate and dynamic drumming. Heavy smacks and energetic guitar rhythms are just a fragment of the music the Belgians produce. Swaying, atmosphere-drenched melodies get into the play as well. Inside all the heaviness the trio keeps the eyes on melodic segments to uplift their work to an emotional connectivity.
Juneau first garnered attention in the Belgian music scene with their debut EP (2020), which showcased their ability to mix melodic hooks with atmospheric elements. As their following grew, they performed across various venues in Belgium, quickly gaining a reputation for their engaging live shows and the raw emotion they brought to the stage.
Over time, Juneau continued to develop their sound with the release of their full-length Cloak (2021). The band’s music evolved, incorporating more experimental elements while maintaining their signature blend. In 2023 and 2024 the trio played their first headliner-shows in Belgium and abroad and introduced some new tunes in their setlist.
In October 2025 Juneau will release a new album, »Scraps Of The Final Lights«, continuing to push boundaries with their creativity and dedication to their craft.
