About AMOK

Death metal combo featuring Lava (TAAKE, ex-AETERNUS) on guitar, Necrocum (MYSTICUM, ABORYM) on vocals, Iscariah (NECROPHAGIA, ex-IMMORTAL, WURDULAK) on bass and Stanley on drums. AMOK was spawn in 2000 as a grind/thrashmetal band. At that time AMOK consisted of Radek (aka Goatpromoter LAVA) - guitars/vocals, Stanley - bass/drums. After some months of rehearsing Mord took over the drums. This made amog other things live performances easier.

The bands aim has always been to create a kind of grind/deathmetal which brings forth the old 80's, necro-spirit. Bands that have inspired AMOK are Autopsy, Beherit, VON, Masters Hammer, Carcass and Blaphemy.

AMOK released 2 demos (Sadistic Attack [2001] and LAVA Dictatorship [2002]) and played 3 gigs (Dark Funeral, Aura Noir/Audiopain and Hole In The Sky 2002) before the line-up changed.

AMOK consisted then of Goatpromoter LAVA (Taake/Dead To This World/ex. Aeternus) - guitars/drum-prog., Necrocum (Mysticum/Aborym/Cemetary Droids) - vocals and Iscariah (Necrophagia/Dead To This World/Wurdulak/ex. Immortal etc.) - bass.


AMOK released a new promo in 2003 - Effective Mass-Torture. It consists of three songs from LAVA Dictatorship - but with a new vocalist, and one new song with the whole new line-up.

Witchhammer Producation (Thailand) re-released "Lava Dictatorship" in 2003 as a split cassette wit
