Blending genres such as punk, noise, rap and doom in a very personal way, BEASTS is Antoine Romeo's (ex-run SOFA) first solo project.
With an incisive debut album, The Shearing (La Base ASBL/Rockerill Records, April 18th 2025), is drenched in subjects such as immigration, intergenerational trauma, class war and social reproduction. BEASTS's music is cathartic, visceral and uncompromised.
To shape this project, the artist from Charleroi, who grew up in a large family of Italian immigrants in the 90's, got together with Ghentian drummer Tijl Van de Casteele (Whorses) and Tournaisian bassist François Hantson (Feel, Mingawash).
