about

KONKHRA er dansk dødsmetal af den gamle skole. De blev dannet som Vicious Circle i 1988 i København. Efter navneskiftet blev de hurtigt signet til det nu klassiske dødsmetal-label Progress Records.

Bandet indspillede deres tredje album ”Spit or Swallow” (1995) i det legendariske Sunlight Studio i Stockholm. Dette album gjorde Konkhra til Progress’ bedst sælgende band og bragte dem på turnéer med Deicide, Suffocation, Immolation og Cannibal Corpse. Efterfølgeren ”Weed Out the Weak” (1997), udsendt på det store amerikanske label Metal Blade, viste bandet fra en mere groovy vinkel og blev efterfulgt af en lang tour med Napalm Death.

Konkhra fortsatte ufortrødent med at udgive plader og turnere op igennem 00’erne, men efter udgivelsen ’Nothing is Sacred’ (2009) og dermed ti års udgivelsesstilhed er bandet hårdt men sikkert tilbage med albummet ‘Alpha and the Omega’ (2019) på Hammerheart Records.
2020 har bragt Konkhra rundt i både Danmark som headliners og på Europatour med Batushka og Malevolent Creation.

Desuden har bandet spillet som support til Volbeats eneste koncert i Europa i 2015, åbnet Copenhell Festival samme år, samt supported Behemoth i Sydafrika i 2014. I 2020 listede Metalhammer Magazine bandet på ’TOP TEN METAL BANDS FROM DENMARK’ sammen med bl.a. Volbeat, Mercyful Fate og Myrkur.

Udpluk fra anmeldelser af ’Alpha and the Omega’ (2019):

Blabbermouth, Dom Lawson:
”Alpha And The Omega” leaves no violent stone unturned in its quest to make you bang your head. Admirable, really. Cult status be damned: this is a killer extreme metal record, executed with imperious flair by unsung masters of the craft.

Metal Hammer:
Konkhra’s sound was always about the body-buckling chords and guttural ejaculations of frontman Anders Lundemark. He’s still instantly recognisable on 2019’s The Alpha And The Omega, Konkhra’s first album in a decade.
