DIGICD，Amernra主唱民谣计划。

发行时间：10月11日。

DE MANNEN BROEDERS 是 Colin van Eeckhout 和 弗莱芒民谣偶像 Tonnie ‘broeder’ Dieleman 的首次合作。前者是比利时后金属乐队 AMENRA 的主唱，该乐队以其压倒性的沉重声音和情感而闻名。后者是一位荷兰民谣歌手，他的音乐灵感来自他的宗教成长经历和泽兰家乡的乡村文化，他曾与 Baby Dee 和 Bonnie Prince Billy 合作过。两人一见面，就立刻产生了共鸣，并开始制定计划。

“作为一名创作型艺术家，你祈祷的就是这些邂逅，”Colin 说。“一旦你遇到这样的人，你就知道你们必须一起创造一些东西。”

当他们发现彼此之间有很多共同点时，他们的联系就加深了，从相似的方言和与祖国的紧密联系，到对精神和忧郁的倾向。 “我的作品全是关于死亡和悲伤的，”Tonnie 说。“对我来说，音乐是从我母亲去世开始的；我的第一张专辑就是关于她的去世的。这也与 Colin 有着很深的联系，因为他失去了父亲。”

最终成果是 9 首曲目的 Sober Maal（翻译为“清醒的一餐”，指的是吃一顿简单的饭以表达感激之情的做法），这张专辑以 DE MANNEN BROEDERS 的艺名发行。这张专辑是在荷兰米德尔堡 18 世纪的 Doopsgezinde Kerk 教堂用了不到五天的时间创作和录制的。

从声音上看，Sober Maal 是一段令人难忘、嗡鸣、情感丰富的旅程，感觉扎根于一个逝去的世界，但听起来仍然完全原创，有一种忧郁的气息，却保留着一种充满希望的感觉。科林和托尼的歌声与合唱团和一些精简的乐器融为一体，包括班卓琴、钢琴、手摇风琴和强大的中央管风琴——所有这些都与教堂的声音和回声交织在一起。

“宗教具有负面联系，因为它是强加于人的，”科林说。“灵性是你选择遵循的东西。我们喜欢深入研究生活中不可捉摸的东西，神圣的东西：它需要自由地诠释。”

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 and started to make plans.

“As a creating artist, it’s these encounters that you pray for,” says Colin. “As soon as you meet someone like that, you know you have to create something together.”

Their connection was deepened as they discovered how much they had in common, from their similar dialects and their strong ties to their homeland, to their leanings towards the spiritual and the melancholic. “My work is all about death and sadness,” says Tonnie. “For me, music started with my mother dying; my first album is about her death. That’s a strong connection with Colin, too, as he lost his dad.”

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

Sonically, Sober Maal is a haunting, droning, emotionally rich journey that feels rooted in a bygone world while still sounding wholly original, and has a melancholy air yet retains a hopeful feel. Colin and Tonnie’s vocals blend with the choir and a pared-back selection of instruments including a banjo, piano, hurdy gurdy and the powerful central organ – all intermingling with the sounds and echoes of the church.

“Religion has a negative connection because it has been forced on people,” Colin says. “Spirituality is something you follow by choice. We like to dive into the ungraspable things in life, the sacred: it needs to be free to interpret.”
