Our band was formed in year 2003. Two guys Adam and Petr with their dark project Marhum took on Kris as a vocalist and started to play grind core instead of black metal. Through initial aversion Kris pushed the name "Kundator" through. It's obscene, vulgar, stupid and original tint should have drawn atention only and it did indeed. (continue under the video)
"INFLEXED SIGNBLADE" - our first official music video
Inflexed Signblade
First year we didn't do much. We didn't take it too seriously. The first point was to record a demo CD and be able to present our selves somehow, then we made the official web site of
Kundator (or You can watch our official MySpace Kundator website ) At the same time we were still looking for a drummer. We changed two of them, but they weren't good at all ... not even mention of anxiety. So we decided to keep playing with programmed drums.
At the begining we felt very disadvantaged because of the drums. But after short time we tried a few other sounds except the drumkit and it wasn't that bad. And we made an introsonnet, too. Within time we pushed more and more sound effects and background keyboards and the songs started to turn slowly to more experimental and industrial but still death metal pieces. There are many other advantages of programmed drums like good sound, high speed, reliability and also simplier way of traveling and sounding before the show.
At the beginning of year 2005 we play our first concert. In autumn same year we are being invited to three big shows in a row in our capitol city Prague. And that's it! People know us and that was our first point. So, after we achieved this point and actually improved our own style, we decided to change the name to more subjective, simple and universal Octagone.
Now we are playing concerts and finishing stuff for our first official release. There is only one question... WHO'S GOT SPIRIT AND WHO WANTS TO BECOME THE LABEL NR.1 THROUGH RELEASING AND SUPPORTING US ?? :)
