Chronique
Yes, that's right. Genet is dead and buried... The part of Pyrrhus that was responsible for numerous excellent releases, crazy showcases and the Ieperfest bill has been abolished. It is no more...
However, Genet was killed only to be revived by some of the icons in Belgian Underground Hardcore Culture as a brand new volunteer-run DIY no-nonsense non-profit organisation. It has been re-founded by Hans (LIAR, Toxic Merch and 24 Clothing) and Bruno (Pyrrhus), both longtime scene stars, supported Mandy and Jürgen, 2 longtime Hardcore adepts, who deal with Genet's organisational and legal strength... It makes Genet belong to those labels that go to the base of hardcore that still thrives on spirit, instead of profitablility.
Apart from these founding members, a whole army of volunteers is rising to spread the prophecy of hardcore, metalcore, emo, punk, metal, screamo, grindcore, thrashcore, etc. to wherever you live, by means of releases, shows, Bullet magazine, a website and last but not least, their vastly important input on the Ieperfest bill, which each year takes your favorite hardcore festival to the highest possible standards...
We will relentlessly keep supporting international hardcore, as well as giving ample chances to the kids involved in the local scenes. Awesome showcase bills, several new releases each year, etc. … all of which will fit into the already awesome discography till date... There is tons of information on our website for you to check out.
We will also keep on spreading the messages that we believe to be an important part of hardcore, such as do-it-yourself, vegetarianism, pacifism and tolerance...
And how can we start any better that by launching a new website? We hope you enjoy it! Get in touch with any questions / remarks you might have.
