There are three ways of doing things: the good way, the bad way, and the BARK way—which is the bad way… but faster.

Belgium’s most ferocious metal machine is back. BARK, the Antwerp-based wrecking crew, returns with their highly anticipated fifth studio album, “The Time Has Come”, set for release on April 25 via Listenable Records. A war cry. A wake-up call. A declaration of chaos.

This album isn’t just another chapter—it’s a statement. Twelve tracks of blistering riffs, pounding drums, and guttural roars that hit like a wrecking ball. No polish. No gimmicks. No compromises. Recorded at Jurassic Recordings, under the brutal guidance of guitarist and producer Martin Furia (Destruction, Nervosa, Toxik, Chemicide), The Time Has Come pushes BARK’s unfiltered aggression further than ever before. It’s faster, darker, heavier—pure, unrelenting sonic destruction.
“This album is about living in the moment and taking life head-on,” says frontman Ron Bruynseels. “No bullshit, no fear. Every track tells a story we’ve lived first-hand. This is BARK at its most raw and real.”
The DOG GOD has spoken. The first offering, "NEGATIVIST", is already out—relentless, unforgiving, and ready to leave a mark. Tracks like "Shaman" and "On No One’s Word" showcase a band that knows exactly what the fuck it’s doing: hitting hard and taking no prisoners.
But BARK is more than a band. It’s a pack. A snarling, howling force of nature, bound by sweat, sound, and survival. When you’re in, you’re in for life. The stage isn’t just a platform—it’s a battleground. The pit isn’t just a crowd—it’s warfare. In the heat of a BARK show, there’s no past, no future—just pure, unrelenting energy.
No rules. No mercy. No way out.
THE TIME HAS COME.
