Mortukai was founded in the year 2006 by guitarist and songwriter Ivo Metz. He had written some songs and wanted to record them. Later joined by his friend Thomas they recorded some demo homerecording songs with a drummachine and those where released on MySpace. After getting a lot positive feedback from fans and friends the motivation to get a whole band started was greater than ever before. A few members came and went until after 2 years the band finally started to take a steady form. With the arrival of Pierre (ex-Deathbox) on the skins, Brian (ex-DeliberateJeopardization) on the 4-String and Jorrick (ex-Endemic) on the mic they started rehearsing to make a tight ass setlist. By November 2008 Mortukai was ready to hit the stage with a half hour of energetic facemelting melodic deathcore. Inspired by bands as August Burns Red, Parkway Drive, The Black Dahlia Murder, and other great bands the set contains a lot of catchy melodies, technical riffing and heavy breakdowns. So come to one of our shows for the full Mortukai experience or listen to our songs on MySpace to get a preview of the madness that awaits you there.
