Belgian industrial noise trio Ghost:Whale lands debut album ‘Echo:One’
Out now is the debut album by the Brussels based industrial noise act Ghost:Whale which formed last year and consists of Lionel Beyet, Yves Vranckx and Vincent De Santos. The trio mixes bass, samples and drums into a very own sound which they describe as ‘instrumental stoner doom sludge noise’.
You’ll indeed recognize a punk approach as the trio were members of the punk band Frau Blücher and the drunken Horses, the sludge punk noise act Missiles of October and the industrial sludge act [P.U.T] .
“Echo:One” is the band’s first album and holds 5 tracks clocking in on over one hour of music. The release is available as a pay-what-you-want price and on CD plus tape. The album was recorded on January 20-21, 2022 at Magasin4 followed by an end-of-residency concert on the 22nd.
The CD (and tape in the US) are being distributed by POGO (BE/FR), Forbidden Place Records (US), Bonobo stomp (FR), Urgence disk (CH), Clouded Mind Records (SWE), Bitume Records (FR), The Ashton Velvet Rock Club Recording Company (USA) and Tenzenmen (Thailand).
You can also order it below via the band itself.
The band also announced a few new Belgian concert dates:
- 17.09.2022 Bruxelles at Brasserie de la Mule
- 13.10.2022 Bruxelles at Magasin4 + SUMA
- 14.10.2022 Tournai at Au bout de nos rêves

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
