GEHTIKA ARE - A five piece metal band fusing melodic and hardcore metal
Gehtika formed in 2008 as a 5 piece and gained a loyal fanbase, high regard from venues and other bands despite the lack of a thriving local metal scene. Together they set about crafting an individual style fusing melodic and hardcore metal. After headline sets at festivals and sell out shows at venues in their local area alongside the release of their debut EP 'Detriment', Gehtika went through a lineup change.
The departure of their lead vocalist paved the way for guitarist Scott Allen to step up and fill the rank. The new formation into a four piece meant a radical change in both musical and vocal style, both that have developed into more bone crushing, brutal style of metal driven by a groove/thrash infusion. Gehtika then set about self releasing their next EP ‘This New World’ gaining top web and press reviews and began pushing their name out around the globe. Along with this, a full UK tour set them on a no-holds-barred hunger to achieve nothing but the best.
Further line-up changes after the UK tour saw the arrival of lead guitarist Chris Maher and bassist Simon Timms join forces with Dean Hemming and Scott Allen. Now with a high energy enema endusing live performance set across the UK and Europe, the planets are aligning...
DAMAGED STOCK SAY - "We were immediately impressed with Gehtika when we saw them earlier this year and so are delighted to see them coming to Nottingham to treat us to some of the heavy melodic hardcore metal, a treat for the fans of the weightier end of the scale."
