about
HIPPOTRAKTOR is a progressive metal band based in Mechelen, Belgium. The collective binds musicians from bands such as Psychonaut, Before He Shot Her and L’itch into a new collaboration. Originally a three-piece instrumental outfit consisting of Mechelen-based producer, songwriter and guitarist Chiaran Verheyden, bassist Jakob Fiszer and Lander De Nyn on drums, Hippotraktor finally found its stride with the permanent introduction of guitarist/vocalist Sander Rom (L’Itch) and percussionist/vocalist Stefan De Graef (Psychonaut) in 2021. The combination of Chiaran’s impressionistic songwriting ambitions and Stefan’s powerful, narrative-charged lyrics proved to be a golden combination on the band’s debut album, ‘Meridian’, which masterfully transformed the band’s disparate instrumental compositions into a singular, driving work of sonic fiction.
