My Diligence Stream “On the Wire”; The Matter, Form and Power out June 3
After their self-titled debut in 2015 and 2019’s Sun Rose (review here), Brussels-based now-three-piece My Diligence will release their third album, The Matter, Form and Power, on June 3 through Mottow Soundz. The streaming track below/first single is called “On the Wire” — and if they’re talking about the PR wire, which of course they are, I’ll note that indeed, that’s where this news came from — and it’s a bright-toned heavy progressive rocker that’s catchy and broad-reaching in kind. Not apparently content to sit out the pandemic resting on laurels, the band harness new largesse of tone in part thanks to the recording job of Francis Caste, and encompassing melody. I haven’t heard the full thing yet, but I’d like to.
Preorders are up, song’s at the bottom of the post, album cover and info follow here, right off the aforementioned wire.

Rising from the streets of Brussels, My Diligence is a band that in recent years have come to transcend rock in their native Belgium with a skill and ease reminiscent of their transatlantic peers.
The success of their 2019 album, Sun Rose, helped raise the band even higher, securing new fans who instantly recognised in their sound the huge, progressive rock aplomb of established acts like Torche, Helmet and Elder. Big, bold, and charged with intensity, the Belgian trio delivered a non-stop, ass kicking brand of no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll that scorched the sky and levelled the playing field.
This June, their eagerly awaited follow-up will be released worldwide on Mottow Soundz. Produced by Francis Caste (Hangman’s Chair, Regarde les Hommes Tomber) and mastered by Raphaël Bovey (Gojira, Dirge, Monkey3), The Matter, Form and Power features a heavier mix of riffs – bigger and more imposing than ever – interwoven with intense, immersive, and spontaneous compositions that truly capture the trio’s exciting ideas around how they believe rock should be.
“While the world as we knew it ground to a halt, we started to explore new horizons,” explains drummer, Gabriel Marlier. “Taking advantage of the vacuum of ‘normal’ life, we started to conceive an album informed by hope and the unknown.”
Fully realised and an unquestionable return to their power-trio origins exploring psychedelic doom; The Matter, Form and Power is a remarkable take on twenty-first century rock ‘n’ roll and one that will capture the hearts and ears of those seeking more.
The Matter, Form and Power by My Diligence will be released on 3rd June 2022 and can be pre-ordered via Mottow Soundz here: https://www.mottowsoundz.com/md-the-matter-form-and-power
