Started in June 2010 under the name Bridging Death. Later changed name to Amakartus. We try to keep an early 80 and late 90 sound to our music!! We like to experiment and innovate and we're in for a head bang.
We are a group of 5 metalheads who shared the same dream of putting our band in the front line, to enjoy ourselves doing the music that keep us alive.
We are from Mauritius (Indian Ocean), and the band was formed around April 2010, with the line up (recent) Banane (guitar), P4 (bass), Zakk (guitar), Miguel (vocals) and Evan (drums).
Our lyrics talk mostly about true nature of people,hate, suffering, war... and our style evokes band like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden etc...
But we have our own identity, that is we do not copy or imitate these great bands, Amakartus gives you(public) its own personal reflection and point of view in the songs.. and yes we are a band that is still learning.
We changed drummers, singers, bassists..... nothing will stop us from doing what we love..... be it playing in front of 2 people or a crowd of 2000, we always give all that we've got.
Our current line-up:
Guitar - Zakk_5 (Psychologist and high school teacher)
Guitar - Banane (Mechatronics engineer)
Bassist - Vissen (Physicist)
Drummer - Evan Laiho (Computer programmer / IT guy / Gamer)
Singer - Rodney (Quality control officer at Pepsi co. Mauritius)
We got our jobs, but we never invested in our music like it is a part time thing.
