Mark Lamster

Theirs Go to Twaalf


lamsternewcentre

Meet Lamster (no relation), Belgium's ascendant metal goliath. While the members of this motley crew — Ber, Burny, Bulex, Wiki, and "Dark Side" (real name: Stephane) — do suggest parody, I can assure you that Lamster is indeed real, and not a gimmick to boost sales of De meester van de schaduw in Flanders. Catch them next week in Liege, if you dare. I just want a t-shirt.
