EP 282 Stefan De Graef of Psychonaut “World Maker,” Fatherhood & Heavy Music’s Healing Power

Belgian post-metal visionaries Psychonaut are back with their new album World Maker, dropping October 24th via Pelagic Records — and frontman Stefan De Graef joins host Tom Robbins on And Now The Band to go deep.

In this emotional and powerful conversation, Stefan opens up about how fatherhood, loss, and life shaped the writing of World Maker. He and Tom discuss how grief and growth coexist, the philosophy behind concept albums, and what makes Psychonaut one of the most spiritually charged and musically dynamic bands in today’s heavy music scene.

From Belgium’s Grass Pop Festival to collaborating with artists like Ante, Stefan reveals what’s next for the band and shares how music has become both a therapy and a calling.

💥 Topics Covered:

The making of World Maker (Pelagic Records, 2025 release)
Balancing fatherhood and touring life
Healing through music and personal loss
Psychonaut’s evolution and sound influences
The future of European heavy music
Collaborations, favorite festivals, and artistic growth
