Bon voyage tantine <3

Hi everyone, 
I hope you’re all doing well!

On Friday June 5th, I’ll be playing my 30th show as BEASTS, and I’m moved by the fact that it’s happening in a place that’s so legendary to me.

Le Bois Du Cazier is our monument, to us Italians of Belgium. It’s our sanctuary: my grandfather litteraly left his country to break coal down there, and friends of my family died there.

I’m from Marcinelle, with the slag heaps as my playgrounds, where I built treehouses after school and got into my first mischiefs, just like my parents did before me.

I never would have imagined being able to have my music resonate in a place that embodies our collective memory so well.

BEASTS’ music is made up of old pictures, myths, and stories that have shaped me my whole life: the disaster, the clouds of smoke, and our grandmothers standing helpless in front of the gates lie among these.

Whatever happens, June 5th 2026 will remain forever engraved in my memory, as well as in that of BEASTS.
Let’s celebrate together the fire that still burns within us today!

I’ll see you there,
peace, Antoine

Proud to present this project for the first time tonight.
A big shoutout to Let It Kill You and everyone involved.
Let's go!!
 

I REFUSE TO FEEL GUILTY FOR TRYING OUT MY BEST.
I REFUSE TO FEEL GUILTY FOR NOT FITTING INTO A BUSINESS PLAN.
I REFUSE TO FEEL GUILTY FOR BEING “TOO MUCH” OR “NOT ENOUGH”.

Already looking forward to being 50yo to be able to watch that again with my pals and laugh our asses off.
One for the books assuredly.

More news soon,
cheers, Antoine

Happy new year folks!

Let's stick together and make 2026 beautiful.
Merci, Antoine

Exactly one year ago today, I was rushed into ICU with double pneumonia and myopericarditis for what ended up being one of the most traumatic event in my whole life.

It happened just like that, in the blink of an eye I just couldn’t breathe anymore.

Anxiety, exhaustion and depression got the best of me. 
For all I know my body just told me to fuck off: let It go or die, basically.

I’ll never forget the 2 weeks I spent in the hospital during the Christmas holidays of 2024, the look on my relatives’ faces, the quiet yet overbearing presence of death, sirens, hospital food, daily visits and the smell of oxygen going through my respirator.

I got many invisible scars, as we all do, but today I’m alive and well, feeling blessed for all the love I’m surrounded with!

I remember reading this somewhere while in the hospital:

"Release for what was.
Gratitude for what is.
Hope for what will be."

May 2026 bring us peace,
see you there hopefully,
Antoine

Peace, Antoine
