On their third album Veuel, Belgian post-metal trio Turpentine Valley still refuses to compromise. A decade after the bandโs formation, their dark, instrumental sound has matured, more refined, more defiant, and more resolute than ever. The music tells the story, open to interpretation by anyone willing to listen to it. With a signature sound built on contrasts and unrelenting tension, Turpentine Valley hits with crushing heaviness one moment, then draws you in with sweeping melodies and a quiet, simmering melancholy the next.
Following their debut Etch (Dunk!Records, 2019) โ which featured three tracks on the soundtrack of Netflix courtroom drama The Twelve โ and sophomore release Alder (Dunk!Records / A Thousand Arms Records / Ripcord Records, 2022), Veuel (Dunk!Records / A Thousand Arms Records / Ripcord Records, 2026) sees the band pushing the boundaries of their genre with renewed hunger and intention.
Turpentine Valley is:
Kristof Balduyck โ guitars
