Belgium’s sludge lords YOUR HIGHNESS are back with “Under The Weight“, their fourth full-length album, hitting digitally Friday October 11th and physically November 9th via Polderrecords. Known for their crushing riffs and ferocious live energy, these underground heavyweights have shared stages with Corrosion of Conformity, High on Fire, and more, while dominating festivals like Pukkelpop, Graspop, and Desertfest.

Under The Weight marks a new era for YOUR HIGHNESS—an all-out assault of punishing sludge, groove-soaked stoner metal, and grim, bluesy vibes. This record dives deeper into their sound, unleashing colossal riffs, bone-crushing rhythms, and eerie melodies that pull you into the void, all while nodding to their chaotic roots.

Recorded, mixed and mastered in their own studio dungeon by the acclaimed Martin Furia and the band’s own Bart Struyf, Under The Weight captures the band’s untamed spirit with quality production, giving the album a raw yet pure edge. Artwork comes courtesy of long-time collaborators Joachim Cols and Ben Baert, reflecting the earth crushing theme that runs through the record.

Get ready for an intense, riff-filled journey—Under The Weight lands on October 11th on all streaming platforms, followed up by their live appearance at Desertfest Antwerp on October 20, 2024. On November 9th, there is a physical release with a party at Kavka Antwerp.

Prepare yourself. The weight is coming.
