Akitsa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Akitsa is a black metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They released the short demo "Totale Servitude" in 1999, which was more of an experiment in various black metal sounds. They pulled it together in 2002 for their first album "Goétie", which was raw black metal with RAC and even punk/oï influence. At this point, drummer Néant left the group, leaving O.T. to take over all instruments. He generally kept the same sound, and Akitsa remained an interesting group in the Quebec black metal underground. The lyrical themes are generally about Quebec nationalism and its History, nature and misanthropy among others.

Eric Syre has joined as a live drummer for Akitsa's first concerts this summer on a tour with Peste Noire, Utlagr and Sombres Forêts.

Rumors that says Néant left the band are false. He is only more distant with the project. He still collaborates in Akitsa's releases.
