Behind The Tracks: Juneau - Heave (Single) (2025)

Belgian post-metal band Juneau has just released their brand-new single ‘Heave’, the first track to be revealed from their forthcoming album Scraps of the Final Lights (Tokyo Jupiter Records, A Cheery Wave Records & De Mist Records). Known for their raw energy, brooding atmosphere, and emotionally charged soundscapes, Juneau takes a bold step forward with this latest offering — one that marks the beginning of a compelling new chapter in their musical evolution.

 

"One of the oldest tracks written for the album, ‘Heave’ perfectly encapsulates our dual nature: equal parts crushing heaviness and haunting vulnerability", says guitarist Antoon Verbeeck."The song unfolds in two distinct movements. Its first half delivers weight and melody in equal measure, a dense and immersive wall of sound. The second half strips things down to a slower, more intimate pace before erupting into a cathartic, explosive climax — a dynamic journey that highlights both our band’s intensity and our nuanced sense of atmosphere. Heave is a first taste of our upcoming record, which promises to further expand our sonic universe."
