“…VRYKOLAKAS is Andy (vocals), Khairil (guitars & bass) and Edi (drums). We were formed in July 1991, and we come from Singapore. To put it concisely, we have recorded four demos, we have participated in four Split-Cd's and a Compilation album, two EP's, and two full-lengths. Our last recording was in 2016. We recorded three songs for the 3 Way Chaos split. The songs were then released as the "Into the Shadow of Death" EP by Evil Damnations Records in 2020. We have always been playing death metal, with touches of brutality and darkness. To desecrate our 30 years of existence, we will write, record, and release 30 songs. Given our lives' tight schedule, we will record the songs and release portions of them on different release dates. The songs will probably be released in different formats such as demos, EPs, splits, and if needed, digital formats. It won't matter as long as the songs can reach and travel across the death metal universe. There will be an album recording in December. So, we will be spending a lot of time in the studio. Thanks to all those who have been supporting VRYKOLAKAS since 1991. We are releasing new material soon. Thanks from VRYKOLAKAS! It is truly a great honor! Contact us at vryko@hotmail.com …”

Lyrics

VRYKOLAKAS was formed in July 1991. We started as a 2-piece band, returned from hiatus in 1999 as a 4-piece band, and since 2008, has been persevering as a 3-piece band. VRYKOLAKAS has been influenced by many death metal and early black metal bands, even thrash metal and grindcore bands. Therefore our songs vary depending on the ideas during the songwriting process. This means that listeners will be able to enjoy varied influences infused into our death metal oriented songs.

Currently, the band has maintained the trinity of:

Andi (vocals) / Khairil (strings) / Edi (drums)
