THOT

From Brussels’ twilight underbelly, THOT are a Belgian art-rock collective known for their dynamic, genre-defying sound, merging post-rock, industrial tension and art-rock experimentalism into something both visceral and poetic. Founded by visionary Grégoire Fray, THOT grew from a solitary spark into a full band operating like a single artistic organism. Their latest studio album Δelta (Pelagic Records, 2023) is a raw and reflective work — a fundamentally organic, uncompromising meditation on where art and love find room to breathe in a fractured world. Earlier releases such as Fleuve (Weyrd Son Records, 2017) established their darkly cinematic style, where machinery and emotion grind against each other until they ignite.

Describing their own music as “vegetal noise”, they explore the meeting point of flora and steel, while critics reach for labels such as industrial rock, post-industrial, electro-rock and avant-pop to contain their ever-shifting form. THOT balance industrial bite with atmospheric melancholy, allowing beauty to bloom through the cracks in the concrete. Fray’s artistic direction — spanning visuals, narrative and performance — infuses the work with decadence and emotional voltage. Whether whisper-soft or fiercely charged, THOT’s sound feels like a secret love letter written on industrial debris, vibrating with both tenderness and bite.

WHAT TO EXPECT

‍A THOT performance is a fever dream of industrial seduction. Expect sweat, pulse and perfume in the dark — synths swirling like incense, guitars cutting like glass, and rhythms that feel both danceable and feral. Shows unfold with theatrical tension and intimate allure, drawing the audience into a nocturnal world of desire, drama and ecstatic release. This is industrial rock that moves the body as much as it haunts the heart.
