Belgian rock band Fervents announce their highly anticipated debut album ‘Service For The Sick’, out 9th October 2026 via Capitane Records. Alongside the announcement, the Liège-based trio unveil their first single “A Letter” (12th March 2026), accompanied by a music video directed by Thomas De Hemptinne.

“A Letter” may be the most political track on the album—a sharp, lucid fable about being called to war by a country you no longer recognize. Recorded in the United States in 2025, the song resonates strongly within the current political climate.

The video, shot almost by accident during a day off in Oakland, captures the track’s raw urgency: a tracking shot filmed from the trunk of a rental car driving through Temescal, a nervous, instinctive forward motion that mirrors the song’s relentless energy.

Two years after their EP ‘Plastic Snake Factory’, driven by the infectious single “Faith”, Fervents returned to the studio to record a new batch of songs—rougher, darker, and deeply influenced by grunge and hardcore punk scenes. The band worked with award-winning producer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Gouge Away) at Atomic Garden studio in Oakland, California.

Built on abrasive rhythms and irresistible melodies, the band’s three voices come together to denounce social conformity, everyday addictions, and the search for a life that still feels meaningful.

“These songs are drawn from my own experience, from jobs that emptied me out, cities that never slow down, and the constant pressure to fit into a life that never really felt like mine,” explains Ben Baillieux of Fervents. “The record deals with the violence of everyday capitalism. Not the spectacular kind, but the quiet one: work, debt, consumption, isolation.”

‘Service For The Sick’ does not aim to provide answers. It is neither a manifesto nor a miracle cure. It is an album written by a band that has been part of the machine and has felt its impact firsthand. This record is a way of naming that unease and giving it a voice—an album without posturing.

Hailing from Liège, Belgium, Fervents have established themselves in recent years as one of the most incisive rock bands of their generation. For fans of Gouge Away, IDLES, and Title Fight, Fervents deliver a tense, direct, and unfiltered brand of rock that refuses to look away from uncomfortable truths.
