Channel Zero, the best metal band that Belgium has ever known, is back again - exactly 20 years after their founding in '90.
Channel Zero (named after a Public Enemy song from '88, 'She Watch Channel Zero?!') released five albums in their career, of which the absolute classic was 'Unsafe'. More than that even: by extension 'Unsafe' is the undisputed classic of Belgium's pop/rock history. Indestructible singles like 'Help' and 'Suck My Energy' led to more than 60,000 copies of this album being sold. In the past, Channel Zero played Torhout/Werchter twice and toured internationally with the likes of Body Count, Megadeth, Danzig, Biohazard, Kiss,...
All was quiet around the band following their split in '97, but Channel Zero has certainly not been forgotten. Of the original line-up, singer Franky DSVD, drum-force Phil B and bassist Tino De Martino are completely ready to put the most impressive sound in the Benelux back on stage. Only guitarist Xavier Carion can no longer perform live, due to an ear-trauma, and he consequently concentrates on his job as studio producer.
Support is Billy The Kill : quintet based in Sint Niklaas. Their debut – full of agile and catchy punk-rock - 'Billy I Kill You' was released earlier this year.
