Een nieuwe start van onze grootste metaltrots in ’14
Zaterdag 10 augustus 2013 verloor de Belgische en internationale metalscène één van de meest imposante en strafste drummers ooit: Phil Baheux van metalen trots Channel Zero. De band was gestart met de opvolger van ‘Feed ‘Em With A Brick’ (°2011) en ging net de studio induiken toen het noodlot toesloeg. Na twee harde maanden van rouw en twijfel is het nu tijd om de band, waarin Phil B zijn hart en ziel legde, voorzichtig terug op de rails te zetten. Channel Zero hervat dit najaar de opnames van album #6 met als guest drummer Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour / Ex Soulfly/ Sepultura). In 2010, exact 20 jaar na hun oprichting, kroonden de vier van Channel Zero zich tot Belgische metalgoden door maar liefst 6 maal (!) AB te vullen. Daarmee schreven de heren vaderlandse muziekgeschiedenis. Een jaar later deden ze er met special guest Phil Demmel (Machine Head) nog vlotjes 2 uitverkochte AB concerten bovenop. De liefde tussen Channel Zero en AB is duidelijk groot en daarom willen we de band, die 20 jaar lang de muzikale liefde van Phil B was, weer zien schitteren op het podium waar het voor hen in 2010 allemaal opnieuw begon!CHANNEL ZERO > VRIJDAG 11 APRIL ‘14 > AB Mainhall > 19u
Vrijdag 11 april 2014 is ook de officiële releasedatum van de nieuwe plaat. Het album zal die dag als eerste, exclusief en enkel in AB te verkrijgen zijn. Daar bovenop schenkt Channel Zero de eerste 1000 ticketkopers een limited edition poster ter ere van Phil B, af te halen aan de merchandise stand op de concertdag zelf.
Un nouveau départ pour le plus grand groupe métal belge.
Le samedi 10 août 2013, la scène métal belge et internationale perdait l'un des meilleurs et l'un des plus impressionnants batteurs qu'il nous ait été donné de rencontrer : Phil Baheux de Channel Zero. Le destin frappa le band alors qu'il venait tout juste de rentrer en studio pour donner suite à ‘Feed ‘Em With A Brick’ (°2011). Après deux douloureux mois de deuil et de doute, le temps est désormais venu pour le groupe, dans lequel Phil B mettait tout son cœur et toute son âme, de se remettre prudemment sur les rails. C'est ainsi que Channel Zero reprendra, cet automne, les enregistrements de son sixième album avec Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour / Ex Soulfly/ Sepultura) en invité à la batterie. En 2010, soit exactement 20 ans après la formation du groupe, les quatre de Channel Zero sont devenus les rois du métal belge en remplissant pas moins de six fois d'affilée l'AB. Les gaillards écrivaient ainsi une page mémorable de l'histoire musicale du pays. Un an plus tard, ils récidivaient pour deux soirs, tous deux sold out, avec Phil Demmel (Machine Head) en special guest. L'amour entre Channel Zero et l'AB est clairement indéfectible et c'est la raison pour laquelle nous souhaitons voir le groupe, qui a été pendant 20 ans la passion de Phil B, remonter sur la scène qui lui avait donné un nouvel élan en 2010 !CHANNEL ZERO > Vendredi 11 AVRIL ‘14 > AB Mainhall > 19h
Le vendredi 11 avril 2014 coïncidera avec la sortie officielle du nouvel album. Celui-ci sera ce jour-là exclusivement disponible à l'AB. Channel Zero offrira en prime, aux 1000 premiers acheteurs d'un ticket, un poster en édition limitée en hommage à Phil B, à venir chercher au stand de merchandising le soir même du concert.
A new start for our greatest metal pride in '14
The Belgian, and International, metal scene lost one of its most impressive and powerful drummers ever on Saturday 10 August 2013: Phil Baheux of metal pride Channel Zero. The band had started working on the successor to ‘Feed ‘Em With A Brick’ (°2011) and was just ready to head into the studio when fate struck. After two hard months of mourning and doubt, it is now time to carefully get the band that Phil B put his heart and soul into back on the rails. Channel Zero resumes the recording of album #6 this fall, with Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour / Ex Soulfly/ Sepultura) as guest drummer. In 2010, exactly 20 years after their establishment, the four from Channel Zero claimed their crowns as Belgian metal gods by filling AB no less than 6 times! In doing so, the gents wrote national musical history. A year later, they easily sold out the AB twice more, with special guest Phil Demmel (Machine Head). The love between Channel Zero and AB is clearly big and that's why we want to have the band, that was Phil B's great musical love for 20 years, shine again... on the stage where it started all over again for them in 2010!CHANNEL ZERO > FRIDAY 11TH of APRIL ‘14 > AB Mainhall > 19h
Friday 11 April 2014 is also the official release date of the new album. The album will be exclusively and only available at AB on that day. On top of that, Channel Zero will be giving the first 1000 ticket-buyers a limited edition poster in memory of Phil B, to be picked up at the merchandise stand on the day of the concert.
Channel Zero is zeer bedroefd om het overlijden van hun broeder en band drummer Phil Baheux te moeten melden. Phil Baheux (45 jaar) is eerder vandaag heengegaan. Zijn onverwacht overlijden is een zeer grote schok voor zijn mede bandleden en de ganse Channel Zero crew. We vragen dan ook om de privacy van de band en zijn ganse familie te respecteren.
C'est avec une immense tristesse que Channel Zero doit annoncer le décès de leur frère et batteur Phil Baheux. Le décès de Phil Baheux (45 ans) ce matin est un terrible choc pour les membres du groupe et du crew. Nous vous demandons de respecter la vie privée de sa famille et du groupe.Channel Zero deeply regrets to announce the passing of their dear brother and drummer Phil Baheux. Phil Baheux ( age 45 ) has apparently past away earlier today . His unexpected death is a tremendous shock to his fellow band members of Channel Zero and crew. We kindly ask you to respect our and his family's privacy.CHANNEL ZERO, FULL POWER FOR THE RED DEVILS

Notre groupe belge de metal ne compte évidemment pas s’arrêter en si bon chemin. A partir du 17 janvier prochain, le groupe retournera en studio pour enregistrer un tout nouvel album à Los Angeles en compagnie du grand producteur Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy et Devil Driver) !
En raison de ce nouveau planning, le dernier concert prévu à l’Ancienne Belgique le dimanche 16 janvier 2011 est déplacé au den atelier au Luxemburg. Les tickets pour le concert de l’AB du 16/01/2011 peuvent être échangés contre des tickets pour le vendredi 14 ou le samedi 15 janvier ou encore être remboursés à l’endroit où ils ont été achetés.
La prévente pour les concerts des vendredi 14 et samedi 15 janvier à l’AB continue normalement.
A l’occasion de ces concerts, Channel Zero fera découvrir quelques titres inédits de son prochain album avec en special guest : Phil Demmel (Machine Head, ex-Vio-lence).

CHANNEL ZERO RELEASES DVD & CD 'LIVE AT THE ANCIENNE BELGIQUE'
The DVD slash CD ‘Live At The Ancienne Belgique’ (Brussels, BE) is an impressive (and complete) impression of the sold out and explosive shows earlier this year at the AB.Just 4 months after the 6 sold out shows, the DVD slash CD ‘Live At The Ancienne Belgique’ is now in all music stores.
All the favorite songs are on this DVD: ‘Black Fuel’, ‘Bad To The Bone’, ‘Fool’s Parade’ and (of course) also ‘Suck My Energy’. And for those who just want to listen and not watch: no panic, there’s always the live CD. And there’s also plenty of extras on the dvd: ‘Interview With The Audience' (although ... no we won’t tell just yet), ‘Backstage With Channel Zero’ and ‘After The Show’.
So it doesn’t come as a surprise that we will play both Graspop and Rock Werchter this year. By the way, these are the only 2 festival shows this summer.
We are back! And we're letting the world know!

CHANNEL ZERO APPEARS IN AARDSCHOK MAGAZINE
CHANNEL ZERO PLAYS FOR PEOPLE WITH A HANDICAP IN COLLABORATION WITH INTRO AND WIN FOR LIFE
On the day prior to the official comeback Channel Zero will play a very unique concert. Namely, on that Thursday 21 January the band will perform especially for people with a handicap. The AB, intro (Guide for Accessible Events and Inclusive Projects) and Win For Life get together and make quite some effort to also offer people with a limitation the opportunity to experience this metal excellence live. The concert hall will be divided into two parts (a part for the “standing” concert-goers and a part for the wheelchair users and those less mobile), footstools that convert sound into vibrations will be placed for those with an auditive handicap, the blind and visually impaired will be able to touch the instruments on stage, there will be Flemish sign-language translators present, there will be a special service space available, there will be appropriate communication for people with a intellectual limitation and everyone will be able to reach the AB via a special bus service.
Equal opportunities for everyone and the broadest possible public participation are ideals that Win For Life has always placed importance upon. So it was only logical to take part a project in which those ideals are realized so concretely. The much esteemed assistance of intro, with their years of expertise in the organisation of similar events, was requested for the organisational aspects. Channel Zero is fiercely enthusiastic and together with the three organising partners we're already priding ourself on possibly organising the most accessible concert ever. All practical info about how to register can be found on the intro website.
CHANNEL ZERO IS LOOKING FOR 2 SUPPORT ACTS
6 concerts in AB also means 6 opportunities to have an up-and-coming band perform for a full AB hall, as support act. Channel Zero and AB will be filling 4 of the 6 spots themselves, but will also be searching for budding new metal talent. Because Channel Zero is a true Belgian band, with members from both parts of the country, the search will take place through Classic 21 and Studio Brussel. How exactly everything will organised shall be communicated at a later date, but you can already be sure to keep an ear on both broadcasters!
CHANNEL ZERO SEARCHES FOR THEIR BIGGEST FAN
Channel Zero still has an extremely fanatic fan-base but who is their very biggest fan? Fans will be able to fight for the title by answering a questionnaire about their favourite band via a competition on the AB site. But it's not only the title that you're playing for: the winner will be able to meet the members of the band, be able to experience a completely personal private concert by the band and also go to all 6 concerts in AB with a friend too. In order to recover from all this and from the free Stella’s that the winner will receive, on the night of each concert there will also be a room available in a luxury hotel in Brussels. Basically: a big wet Channel Zero dream that will keep every fan from their sleep.
WELCOME TO THE CHANNEL ZERO WEBSITE
Ok. We managed to get this site online. There is still lots of stuff in the pipeline, and more interesting news to come, so stay tuned.
