SMOKE AND DUST is a young DIY label based in Ghent, Belgium. We're here to release well-produced records of independent bands that, to us, deserve to be heard. We're here to stay. Watch out.

THE BLACK HEART REBELLION — MONOLOGUE LP
Taken from the band's statement: "It took us almost three years to write it and we are so relieved that it is almost ready. Guided by Vince Tetaert and Tars Vervaecke we have built a DIY studio at DePalijs where "Monologue" was recorded this July. Expect 40 minutes of staggering intensity and blastbeats of epic proportions."

The soundtrack for the wedding party of anger & gloom. Traktor from Sweden, which are not only highly considered in circles of connoisseurs because of their extraordinary live qualities, perfect their grim chaos-core on their first full length, entitled Lights. The typical Traktor sound from the early days with indigestive breaks and dissonant guitar riffs in the vein of famous San Diego bands like Drive Like Jehu or Swing Kids is getting enobled with dark & calm passages. Although the album was mastered in the much sought-after Tonteknik-Studio in Umeå, the regulary comparisons to Refused or early JR Ewing are less present, then genre bulks like Lack or Breach. Lights is an album designed for a cheerless winter, post-hardcore between aggression & depression
