matrak attakk biography
MatraK AttaKK is a 4 or 5piece anarchogrind/crust band from Belgium, with focus on thematics like feminism, antipsychiatry and in general, anarchism.
We are 3 people squatting together in Liege, plus one other guy living in Leuven, and since Raya joined us, we have one belgian guy too.
We play dark angry and mostly, fast songs.
We made some tours with this formation, that exist from 2017. We are planning for more!
Before, MatraK AttaKK was active in Gent, from 2014. We were 6 people and we were 2 singers and we had 2 guitars.
We came out from an older band with another name, that splitted. In the beginning of 2017, also 4 of the band left, till I ended to be the only original member in june 2017. We released an old demo CD in 2016 with the old formation, a cd-r in september 2017 for the october tour, a cd-r with 8 totally new songs in january 2018. In April 2018 we released a split tape with Ascidie, totalitarpunk from Grenoble.
We have fanzines (2 issues till now) this time with some drawing and explanation of the lyrics. We plan some EP releases for next year.
We are also part of the diy scene of Belgium.
We still organise benefit shows in the squat where we live, the Highway to Hell, in Liege.
We also self print our patches/t-shirts/posters, 'cause we have a screenprinting workshop in our squat, that let us sell our merch at free price.
We keep on spreading our anarchist messages in the punk/crust/hardcore/grind scene, that lately is becoming so close to the commercial one, always more and more apolitical, and musically, the copy of itself.
