Cowboys & Aliens is a four-piece stoner rock band from Bruges, Belgium. Formed in 1996, they are true pioneers of the genre in the Benelux — one of the first bands in the region to go all-in on heavy, riff-driven rock at a time when that took real conviction.

Their debut League Of Fools (1998) laid the foundation, but it was A Trip To The Stonehenge Colony (2000) and Love Sex Volume (2002) that put them on the map — two records that became genuine landmarks in the Belgian heavy rock scene and remain highly sought-after to this day. Language Of Superstars followed in 2005 before the band stepped back for a few years.

The hiatus didn’t last. Cowboys & Aliens returned in 2011 with the Sandpaper Blues Knockout EP, including a memorable appearance at DesertFest Antwerp and a second stint opening for Deep Purple at Vorst Nationaal. Surrounded By Enemies (2014) kept the momentum going, followed by Horses of Rebellion (2019) and BURN (2022) — both released on POLDERRECORDS on CD and vinyl. In 2021, POLDERRECORDS also brought back the long sold-out Stonehenge Colony and Love Sex Volume in a deluxe remastered double digipack, finally putting those legendary records back in people’s hands.

In between, Cowboys & Aliens built a formidable live reputation — touring with Monster Magnet, opening for Queens of the Stone Age, Deep Purple, Soulfly and Danzig, and playing countless festivals across Europe.

Now, thirty years after their formation, the band releases FINIS TEMPORUM on POLDERRECORDS — album number seven, and another chapter in a catalogue that few Belgian bands can match. Heavy riffs, anthemic choruses, a touch of psychedelia. Same band. Still delivering.
