Only a year after their very successful (soon to be classic) album "Instinct" and their sensational Live DVD"Live And Raw", the band from Hungary already recorded their next attack, named "Outcast".
EKTOMORF EKTOMORF was founded in 1993 in Mezökovacsházak, Hungary, a small city
near the Romanian border, by Zoltán "Zoli" Farkas. In the actual line-up Zoli -
songwriter and mastermind of the band - is the only remaining founder
member. The band is completed by Tamás Schrottner (Guitar), Szabolcs
Murvai (Bass) and Jozsef Szakács (Drums).
Due to his gipsy background Zoli saw himself confronted with racism and
prejudices. That’s why the band had to put years of work into its international
career.
The breakthrough came, when EKTOMORF started collaboration with
Danish producer Tue Madsen in 2003. Madsen helped the band to find its very
own sound: Super fat, modern and powerful.
EKTOMORF's lyrics reflect this situation and deal with discrimination, society,
pain and anger but show a strong will to survive at last. Their music combines
the burning fire of the primal gipsy music with modern elements: Groovy, down
tuned guitar riffs and aggressive drums, supplemented by powerful and raw
screaming vocals.
Regardless of all circumstances EKTOMORF established itself as one of the
most successful Hungarian bands, well known for their intensive, energetic,
mind blowing live shows.
Playing extensive headliner-tours and shows at the
biggest European festivals (e.g. Wacken, With Full Force, Sziget, Rock am
Ring) the band build up a strong fan base throughout Europe.
And now they are back! Three years after their fantastic „Outcast“ album (one
of the most important Neo Thrash/Hardcore releases of the last years), the
most known Hungarian band appears again, with an album that re-defines a whole genre: it´s as massive and powerful as EKTOMORF fans are used to get
it from their heroes, but “What Doesn´t Kill Me” delivers even more.
Walls will
fall, borders will crash – once again under the aegis of producer Tue Madsen,
EKTOMORF have created a monument of modern, heavy, groove-oriented
music. |
