Bear is one of Belgium's most celebrated contemporary hardcore bands. Their ascent to infamy has been propelled by a ferocious live show and an alchemic combination of metallic hardcore chaos, innovative and complex arrangements, and hook-filled melodies. On "Vanta", Bear's fifth studio album, following on from their 2020 Pelagic debut "Propaganda", the veteran post-hardcore quartet find a perfect balance between the fury that continues to drive them and a series of reflections on the origin of that fury.
