STEEGMOORD, the latest project from Belgian songwriter, Maarten Doumen, goes from sparkly clean guitars, sprinkled with ambient synth swells, to wild, drop-tuned experimental prog or stoner riffs.
This Ghent-based progressive metal/Stoner artist STEEGMOORD is steering toward a different sound in 2021. No stranger to the stage, he has toured throughout the BeNeLux as well as Germany and Czech Republic over the last 6 years with melodic metal/metalcore acts Six o' Five and Stranger Dimensions.
As a newcomer in its genre STEEGMOORD feels comfortable in the position of studio project. But that doesn’t mean this project can' t shake the foundations of any venue in its path. Captivating stage presence, high energy, stage effects (when authorized), and mesmerizing lights, as well as hard hitting music to back it up, STEEGMOORD knows how to bring a real show to any stage they visit.
Influenced by a huge span of music including Mastodon, Opeth, In Flames, Dorje, Rabea Massaad and Toska, STEEGMOORD has finished it's debut EP resulting in a half hour of instrumental melodic metal riffs with lot's of dynamic and some stoner vibes to top it off. With the recording process for a full length underway, this project is confident that this EP will help launch them to the forefront of the BeNeLux music scene.
