Demo 2008 by Akira

VOID105

Akira was created by drummer Vyacheslav Brusov (Minaret, Vyrodok) in Moscow in 2008. He has been writing music and playing in some punk bands. When he collected enough material, he decided to start his own music project and invited Alina Fundovnaya (Burning Loss, Northern Nihilism) as front singer, at that moment she was 16 years old, and Anatoly, who didn't play any instruments before, so Vyacheslav taught him in a short period of time how to play some riffs good enough to be able to play written stuff.

Musicians were mostly influenced by black metal, emo violence, screamo and punk rock.

"Ideologically we didn't want to have any borders in our music" Akira (c).

Name of the band was taken from anime movie "Akira" 1988.

Very soon Anton Tatarsky (Acta de Tormento) joined the band squad as guitar player and Anatoly moved to the bass. They recorded their first demo album "Demo 2008", which you are listening now.

"We had good feedback from the record, and played lot of gigs at that moment" Akira (c).

After demo Anatoly left collective and shortly Sergey Golovachev (Vyrodok, Lord Skorb) replaced him.

Akira played shows mostly at D.I.Y scene in Moscow and sometimes at big underground festivals.

In 2010 they recorded second demo "Road to Hell" and shortly after in the same year band split up to the different projects.

Musicians remain good friends. Time and distance will never kill warm spirit of Akira.
