As one of Europe’s most promising indie acts, Eosine is knocking hard on the door of an international breakthrough. What began as the solo project of frontman Len Lacroix (who swapped Liège for Ghent and now identifies as non-binary) has evolved into a formidable, tight-knit quartet featuring Stanny Rijckaert (drums), Lander Lampaert (guitar), and Wouter Dijkstra (bass, vocals). Together, they fuse prog-punk, emo, and post-metal into an overwhelming sound, driven by frenetic guitars and Lacroix’s intoxicating, versatile vocals.
Since the release of their EP Liminal (late 2024), the band has built a stellar live reputation. Those who have seen Eosine perform at festivals like Pukkelpop, Dour, Lokerse Feesten, ITGWO, Sziget Budapest, MENT Ljubljana, Leffingeleuren, and Reeperbahn Festival Hamburg—or as support for Garbage and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets—describe the experience as an almost sacred exorcism, possessing the intensity of Amenra. In early 2026, the band reached the final of De Nieuwe Lichting with their single "And Now It Shows"; they had previously won Concours Circuit (the Walloon equivalent of Humo's Rock Rally).
Their long-awaited debut album, Vicariant Narratives, is set for release on January 8. Spanning eight tracks and just under 40 minutes, the album grabs the listener by the throat with unrelenting force. Inspired by the darkness of Chelsea Wolfe and the raw energy of Oathbreaker, the album explores themes such as emotional dependency, hypersensitivity, and breaking free from societal conventions. Vicariant Narratives is the layered, cathartic statement of a band that has truly found itself.
