Recently nominated by Metal Hammer for "Best Metal Song of 2023" with their track "The Devil Has Evolved," and named Kerrang! Radio's “Artist of the Week", Cambridge UK-based Akkadian is making waves in the underground metal scene. Having also graced the Tech Fest stage in 2023, and performing at Bloodstock 2024, the band shows no signs of slowing down.
Known for delivering fast, hard-hitting, groovy songs with strong psychedelic undertones, Akkadian expresses a deep interest in ancient history, inter-dimensional and spiritual travel. These elements are woven into the branding, theme, and storytelling of their songs, creating an atmosphere that leaves audience members hooked and hypnotized.
MEDIA QUOTES:
“Standing on the shoulders of giants like Gojira and Lamb Of God, UK newcomers Akkadian certainly aren’t lacking for sonic ambition with the stomping, prog metal flavours of The Devil Has Evolved. Taken from the EP of the same name - the track is a seismic showcase of godzilla-stomp riffs and massive hooks, betraying some seriously anthemic potential.” - Rich Hobson (Metal Hammer)
“It’s rare that I’m captivated by a song or an EP name before I even listen to song. But when I saw the name of this EP - The Devil Has Evolved - it just drew me in instantly. I was completely captivated by that as a premise. And then when I heard the band, I was mesmerised by how assured and how driven and how hypnotic and enrapturing their sound is.” - Alex Baker (Kerrang! Radio)
