Biography
The first activities of The Juggernauts on the planet Earth were sighted towards the end of 2010. Reportedly, they have been summoned by higher unknown forces who send them to earth with the mission to ward off the 2012 Apocalypse which the Mayas already predicted over 5000 years ago. The Juggernauts succeeded in their mission and doomsday seems to be postponed ... For the time being ...
However, the increase of conflicts between human tribes around the world, which come with staggering and unspeakable atrocities and destruction, the unceasing pollution and poisoning of the planet earth and her seas, and thus the accelerating systematic extinction of it’s global fauna and flora, are all signs on the wall that mankind is still on the way to self-destruction.
It’s clear the task of The Juggernauts ain’t over yet!

The Juggernauts – Are Coming (CD, Out Of Line , 2016)
Belgian band The Juggernauts is the most important rejuvenators of the classic Electronic Body Music sound. The debut album “The Juggernauts Are Coming” features club-compatible tunes built on a minimalist foundation of beats, sequencer and shouts.
Like the name-inspiring symbol for an unstoppable destructive force, the music of The Juggernauts blasts out of the speakers like an energetic stronghold of beats, bass and wrath. Few contemporary bands manage to channel the spirit of early EBM as brutally effective as the Belgian duo on its debut “The Juggernauts Are Coming.” Thudding drum machines and rumbling low frequencies accompany front man Borg while he shouts all the anger, cynicism and social criticism out of his system. While The Juggernauts share the spirit of bands like the early Front 242 or Nitzer Ebb, they never fall into the retro-trap, providing the prime father of underground dance music with a refreshingly harsh and modern approach. With songs like the tried and tested club-hit “Phoenix”, it is about time for a real renaissance of Electronic Body Music. The Juggernauts are coming!

2013 - The Juggernauts – Phoenix EP CD - Out Of Line - SOLD OUT
On their debut-EP, Belgian newcomers The Juggernauts have created a powerhouse of modern EBM! “Phoenix” features the title track, two exclusive EP tracks and remixes from Spetsnaz, The Plastic Noise Experience, Implant and True Zebra and is limited to 666 copies in a hand-numbered Digipak.
The Juggernauts is the new project of BORG (aka Peter Mastbooms, who is, among other things, a member of the live line up of The Klinik) and is mixed & co-produced by Glenn Keteleer. A name like The Juggernauts invokes images of power, of a massive force of bass and beats, of ground-shattering Electro-sounds. And it is needless to say that the debut EP “Phoenix” sees one of the most anticipated newcomers to the classic EBM-sound deliver the goods in spades!
The Belgian band fuses the minimal, rhythm and bass driven structures of Electronic Body Music with a more aggressive and modern approach, to overwhelming results. The EP’s killer title track (which is taken from the upcoming debut album “The Juggernauts Are Coming”) is a relentless floor filler with addictive qualities and the two EP-exclusive tracks “Damaged Illusions” and “Infected” are thudding beat-monsters that effectively evolve the classic sound into the 21st century. “Phoenix” is rounded off by some excellent remixes from friends and supporters Spetsnaz, The Plastic Noise Experience, Implant and True Zebra.
“Phoenix” is limited to 666 copies in a hand-numbered Digipak.
The Juggernauts – it’s not just a name! This IS EBM!
Below you can watch the DIY video for the EP single 'Infected' which got + 10.000 views in less than in one year! Today the video has been viewed over 65.000 times (2023)
