Bismut are a progressive heavy psych trio from Nijmegen, the Netherlands. In 2016,
three friends drank some beer (and sparkling water), and decided they had no excuse
not to play music together. Their varying approaches to music and different
influences soon blossomed into a fantastic, funky, doomy mix. Their style has been
described as progressive rock, doom, metal, stoner, heavy psych, and plain old hard
rock, but it may actually be instrumental death boogie. Needless to say, there's quite a
range of weird, wonderful sound to be had at a Bismut gig.
Since their inception, Bismut have played gigs all over Europe, from cozy clubs to sick
stages on big festivals like Dunajam, Tabernas, Into the Void, Zwarte Cross, Sonic
Whip, Stonerfall, Yellowstock, Desert Fest Antwerp, Alterna Sounds Fest,
and Psychedelic Network Festival.
Bismut have released two sold-out LPs with Lay Bare Recordings: Schwerpunkt in
November 2018, and Retrocausality in September 2020. They are currently working
hard on their third LP, which will further evolve their unique and unrelenting sound.
For this next chapter, Bismut have joined forces with Spanish Spinda Records, in
addition to Lay Bare Recordings, to spread their psychedelic grooves even further
across Europe
