When things are burnt to the ground and all you’re left with are ashes, there are two things you can do: throw in the towel, or pick yourself up again and realize that ashes actually make for very fertile ground. That’s kind of what happened to RHEA over the past couple of years. Now they’re back, shaking off the label of a purely power rock band with new music (second album coming in 2024!), sounding groovier than ever.

You have to be firm on your feet when your band is hailed as the nation’s new hope for good old, straightforward rock music, which is what happened to RHEA in 2016. They only had one song, and suddenly had to find their place in the Belgian music scene. And so they did, for four years on end: writing songs, releasing a bunch of singles, killing it live (supporting Royal Blood or as head act), and recording and releasing the debut album.

The first 6 years after their breakthrough were quite the roller coaster for RHEA, eventually hitting rock bottom, not knowing where to go next. But now they’re back on track, more determined than ever. The second album will in many ways bring salvation, grown on the fertile ground provided by the ashes that started it all.
