Hellvete is one of the three members who founded the Flemish
Funeral Folk collective and a key figure of the satanadelic combo
Sylvester Anfang II. Similar to the mothership, his solo work spans
from folk-inspired guitar drones to minimalist keyboard esoterica.
The significant difference is that his solo songs are more composed
and less improvised. “De Gek” (meaning “The Fool”) is an epic
trip through the different zones of the Hellvete Empire: layered
guitar eruptions mix in with modern classical orchestration and
dark folk tales. Influences such as Stephen R. Smith and Manuel
Göttsching result in abstract sound narrations, that might just as
well make one think of medieval folk or Rock In Opposition. On
this debut LP all the aspects of what has been baptized the “Belgian
dronevolkscene”.. culminate in an extraordinary exploration of
the Self: a sonic exorcization of old demons and a return to the
nostalgic peace of the country side. “De Gek” is a new interpretation
of the modern psychedelic idylle. The Rochefort 10 of the
new Belgian guitar folk tradition.
