"This combo, founded in 2018 in Liège, Belgium, is once again an original underground treat. Stoner lunatics may have already become aware of MOLDERA in the fall of 2022 through the track "Chilling In Mosul" on the "Trip To Belgium" compilation. Their debut, "Waste Pile Dunes," released in the same year, already contained some incredibly strong songs with catchy names like "Trump Apocalypse" and "Megadoom." The debut album's guitar sound, production, and direction were significantly more sooty, droning, and brittle than the new album, "Colonize." A hypnotic, evocative sludge groove and tons of cool stoner and doom riffs are still omnipresent. The current long player, however, is much more varied, open, and multi-layered in its songwriting. Thus, creative splashes of color can be found time and again, revealing inspiration and influences from bands like Deftones, Isis, or even the darker Alice In Chains. Here and there, clean vocals are used instead of the exclusively sludge screams as before. The compositions, all of which clearly exceed the five-minute mark, take their time to develop. Therefore, not all of the tracks on "Colonize" may fully ignite on the first two or three listens. But MOLDERA are damn good in the long run! In other words, once the listener is gripped by the original sound, they'll definitely find themselves putting this work on rotation more than once in a row. Intense, profound, and introverted music, perfect for single-tasking. Genre fans should definitely give it a listen! And please, a big name in the scene should take these very gifted musicians on tour. "

![Heavy Fuzz Proudly Presents : @mold.era [FR]MoldEra est un organisme symbiotique apparu aux alentours de 2018, né de la rencontre fortuite de quatre spores anthropomorphes venues s’installer dans les friches post-industrielles de Liège.Animés par un intérêt commun pour des sonorités lourdes, lentes, profondes et hypnotiques, explorant leurs influences de stoner et de rock progressif ainsi que les marécages du doom et du sludge, ils ont forgé un son unique.Leur nouvel album, Colonize, est sorti en juin 2025 sur le label Octopus Rising (Argonauta). Il explore les thèmes de la prédation industrielle, de l’exploitation de la nature, des catastrophes écologiques, de la dégradation des terres et des troubles sociaux — mais aussi du soulèvement, de la prise de conscience et de la résilience de toute forme de vie.Venez assister à leur retour au Belvédère le samedi 21 mars 2026, aux côtés de Psychlona et Beaten By Hippies.-------[EN]MoldEra is a symbiotic organism which came into existence around 2018through the fortunate meeting of four anthropomorphic mold spores settling inthe post-industrial wastelands of Liège.With a common interest in variousforms of heavy, slow, deep and hypnotic sounds while foraging in stoner orprogressive rock meadows, as well as doom and sludge marshes, they forged their unique sound.Their new album "Colonize" wasreleased in June 2025 on the Label Octopus Rising (Argonauta) and explores themes of industrialized human predation and exploitationof nature, ecological disasters, land degradation and social unrest, but alsosocial unrest and uprising, self-awareness and the resilience of life.Come witness their return at Belvédère on Saturday March 21st 2026, alongside Psychlona and Beaten By Hippies.](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6742512472652516583253_0_706fb7ce9e6ec6ff4c7b233204a85748.jpg?o=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&h=9cdac7fc30caf8d4504061a6f1b26e0b)
