Alén Metal Fest 2024, Vilagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra (Esp) 06.07.2024

 

 

 

 

 

 

En 2007 Marcos y Moro (guitarras) y Sebas (batería) comienzan a tocar juntos versiones de grupos de rock y metal. Unos meses después se unen Samuel (voz) y Maca (bajo), y ya con un proyecto de grupo comienzan a surgir los primeros temas propios. La banda adquiere el nombre estrenándose en directo en Julio de 2008.

Después de un par de años componiendo más temas propios, tocando en directo y definiendo poco a poco el estilo, Samuel deja la banda pasando Maca a ocuparse también de la voz, continuando la actividad en directo, la cual se interrumpe temporalmente a finales de 2010, momento en el que Raze graba su primera demo.

Okkultist, born in 2016, representing blackened death metal from Portugal, got attention through the successful release of debut album “Reinventing Evil” with Alma Mater Records. Okkultist had previously released an independent EP called “Eye Of The Beholder”, at a time when the band had no idea of the projection it was gonna get. The band got signed to Alma Mater Records in 2018 which then resulted in a first album. Since the release of the “Reinventing Evil” in 2019, with the growth of the band, and with a pandemic hitting us all a year later, Okkultist took advantage of this time to, literally, reinvent the image and sonority of the band.

Started as a hardcore punk band and released several demos in this style before shifting to their more well-known thrash metal approach.

The band's line-up shuffled considerably following Power from Hell. Bassist Jase Stallard became the second guitarist and Paul "Mo" Mahoney took over playing bass to allow Sy Keeler to take his place as vocalist.

After signing to major label imprint London Records, Onslaught were coerced into replacing Sy Keeler with Steve Grimmett. After In Search of Sanity was released, the band was dropped. Tony O'Hora came in as vocalist for a brief period before the band parted ways in 1991.

Reformed in 2004. Nige Rockett has been performing rhythm guitar only since the reformation despite playing all lead guitar parts in the band's early days.
