HETZE
Antwerpen – Gent – Belgium
hardcore, punk, trash

Savage hardcore punk attack from Belgium, inspired by early UK hardcore punk (Health Hazard, Ripcord) with a Japanese touch (Gauze), some powerviolence (Despise you, Infest) and some new stuff like Hoax, Game, Exit Order, Sect Mark.
They hit you in the face with songs about fear, violence, abuse in all its shapes and forms. The first release was a full length LP called “Bedbugs”, which came out in september 2018 on Loner Cult, Emergence, Up the Punx, Fucking Kill, Zas Autoproduzioni Records.
Hetze is working hard on new songs, so expect a new release and some tours in 2019.
Don’t let the bedbugs bite! Dance and destroy!
