Nakkiga - Amerasu (2013)

The band name, as well as some lyrical themes ("Amerasu") are derived from Tad Williams' fantasy series Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. It's the name of a city of immortal beings, Norns, and it means "mask of tears."

 Nakkiga was born from the ashes of a Grind/Black project called Brutal Devastación Cerebral. The only two components of this group Arghura Zephol (guitars, keyboards and choirs) and Oindurth (drums, bass, lead vocal and vocals) founded Nakkiga in late 1999 at the age of 18 with the intention of making a group oriented to the Thrash of the Storbais, but due to the musical influences of the two components (Black metal, Brutal Death, Thrash metal, Punk ...) the idea was discarded and the group was made as a mixture of all these styles, singing in Euskera and of mythological and/or fantastic theme.
After three years composing in the premises they decide to record a demo. For which they record two songs from the current repertoire, the first song of the group P.D.M. (1999) as a bonus and an outro dedicated to the Artzaiak (shepherds) and the Ardiak (sheep). The demo was recorded on April 7 and 8 of 2003 in the rehearsal room, the first day recording the three songs and the second the outro and the mixes. In the demo have collaborated Madaleno from Deskizio, Urgarun from Mortinatum, Nadia and Urko by Euri Tantak, Venganza of La Casa del Ruido, Goiatz and Txibo de Ödol and Txema and Txotxe from Cantaores de Joticas Astroungaras.
In October of the same year they enter the "Spitako Studios" and recorded a second demo between days 17 and 18. The demo is composed of an intro, two tracks and an outro. In this second demo they have collaborated Urgarun de Mortinatum and Urritz de Euri Tantak.

In 2005 they edit a demo and also a split with Xerión "Ipar Basoetan / Na Fraga Do Norte" followed by another one in 2007 "Four Concentric Ways of the Ancient Cult". In 2010 he released his full album entitled "Belebeltzeta".
