Over a decade ago, four youngsters - barely 12 years old - started making music in a shabby rehearsal room, somewhere in Flanders’ Fields, Belgium. The music was loud, hard, and un compromising. This was the very early beginnings for STAKE, under their long-term original band name ‘Steak Number Eight’. Through this evolution, the band reached the heights of selling out Belgium’s biggest venues, played every serious rock festival across mainland Europe, and had been on the road supporting the likes of Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Deftones. It was never the band’s intention to all it a day, but in 2018 the original name felt outdated despite being close to the band’s heart - they wanted to capture fresh creativity under a new name: STAKE. With the original line-up intact, they promised their metamorphosis would not simply be a change of name. Instead, STAKE is a brand new chapter with an unseen energy, producing a unique hyper atmospheric and grunge-influenced melodic post-metal. **Non-mint** Option: Minor cosmetic damage to the packaging / sleeve.
