Channel Zero: Hot Summer – new video

 

Belgium's CHANNEL ZERO, arguably “the best metal band that Belgium has ever known”, also referred to as the “Belgium METALLICA”, is expected to release a new Logan Mader-produced album entitled ‘Feed 'Em With A Brick’ on June 17th, 2011 in Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg through Roadrunner Records.  The new single, ‘Hot Summer’, can be downloaded for free at this location; the video for the song was directed by Pascal Baillien. ‘Feed 'Em With A Brick’ is CHANNEL ZERO's first record since 1997.

CHANNEL ZERO, comprised of vocalist Franky “DSVD” De Smet Van Damme, guitarist Xavier Carion, drummer Phil Baheux, and bassist Tino DeMartino, formed in Brussels, Belgium, in 1990. The band's name was inspired by the PUBLIC ENEMY's ‘She watched Channel Zero’. The band signed with German label Shark Records and released its self-titled debut album two years later. Second offering, ‘Stigmatized For Life’, which came out in 1993, was produced by W. Stach and mixed by PANTERA's Vinnie Paul. CHANNEL ZERO's third release, 1995's ‘Unsafe’, produced by Andre Gielen and mixed by Michael Barbiero, proved to be their most successful release to date. The success of the album took the band on world tour with, among others, MEGADETH, DANZIG, and BIOHAZARD. Released in 1997, CHANNEL ZERO's fourth studio offering, ‘Black Fuel’, was engineered and produced by Attie Bauw. The group disbanded that same year. In 2009 however, the band announced a series of sold out reunion gigs. After releasing the single ‘Black Flowers’ in 2010, CHANNEL ZERO announced it has begun working on a new album.

CHANNEL ZERO features: Franky DSVD - vocals, Phil B. - drums, Tino De Martino – bass and Mikey Doling (SNOT, ex-SOULFLY) – guitar.
