Akephal

About the artist

Akephal was a hardcore band from Husum, Germany. Their exact political leanings are anyone's guess, but the lyrics provide a pretty good hint at where these guys were coming from. "As long as propaganda turns cries of death into tales of heroic feats/ and as long as domestic security finds ways to justify all of its torture methods/ shit will pass for gold," they scream in 'So Lange'. Their sound is brash and heavy; the closest comparisons that I can think of are Uranus, the layered vocals of Barrit and perhaps a more sinister Unruh.
