OMERTA (BE) Brutal / Metalcore
Omerta

The band Omerta is founded in July 2004. Tijs(guitars) and Sven (ex-vocals) had the idea of beginning a metal band because they missed something in their previous bands. They searched for band members and ended up with Basten on bass and Fre on drums. They started rehearsing and looking for a style which suited every band member. They felt there was something missing in the band, so they searched for a second guitar player and a second vocalist to complete the line-up. Kenneth and Frodo (ex-vocals Vanity, Reduced To A Whisper, Abandoned) were chosen to join the band and the line-up was complete. In the summer of 2005 Sven left the band. Due to his departure we needed a new vocalist, but now we wanted a brutal death grunt. Pieter (ex-vocals Solifugia, Tronius Mind R.I.P ) joined the band and this is our current line-up. Due to all the different influences from our band members we developed a more brutal style of metal core, mixing death metal, thrash, hardcore, ... into one. With a lot of motivation and effort from the whole band, we reached the point where we could finally hit the stage. In January 2006 we had our first gig and it was a blast. We played 24 shows with alot of cool bands but in december 2006 we parted ways with our drummer and he was replaced by Mathew who also drums in invictrius (www.myspace.com/invictrius) a Belgian deathmetalband. 2007 starts with a new line-up, new ideas and recording plans for a first release that will be unleashed later this year so be prepared!!!
