about
DE MANNEN BROEDERS is the debut collaboration feat. Colin van Eeckhout and the Zeeuws Flemish folk icon Tonnie ‘broeder’ Dieleman. The former is the frontman for Belgian post-metallers AMENRA, a band known for their overwhelming heaviness both in sound and emotion. The latter is a Dutch folk singer whose music is inspired by his religious upbringing and the rural culture of his Zeelandic homeland, who has collaborated with Baby Dee and Bonnie Prince Billy. When the two met, they felt an instant connection. The result is the 9-track Sober Maal (which translates to ‘sober meal’ and refers to the practice of eating a simple meal in order to practice gratitude), which is being released under the moniker DE MANNEN BROEDERS. It was written and recorded in under five days at the 18th century church Doopsgezinde Kerk in Middelburg in the Netherlands.
