More Than You Expect

About Me


NYIA was believed to be an unidentified pagan demon of death, a god of theunderground and a guard of souls leaving human bodies.
NYIA was formed in 1999 in Olsztyn, Poland by former members of Vader, Kobongand Prophecy. The superb and individualistic play of the drummer, WojtekSzymanski, experiments with heavy sounds and the most dissonant chords areboasting some of the most intense and diverse slices of blasting avante gardegrindcore fusion. The past and current NYIA`s line-ups included musiciansfrom: Vader, Kobong, Neuma, Yattering, Third Degree, Prophecy, SAMO,Deadbambi.
The band concerns in its ranks poet and painter Wojtek Szymanski (who wrotesall the lyrics and painted the picture used on the cover), producer and soundengineer Szymon Czech (known also from his work with Antigama, Vesania,Yattering, Dies Irae, Third Degree and many others), young and talentedvocalist Jakub Leonowicz, bassist Maciej Banaszewski and designer,photographer and director Bartek Rogalewicz (who designed the band`s artworksand shot and directed music videos), who joined NYIA after recording "MoreThan You Expect".
The second album is a result of three years of intense works and experimentsand will be published in october 2007 by Napalm Death`s Shane Embury FETORecords. In october and november 2007 NYIA will co-headline tour with ANTIGAMA (Relapse). In october 2007 NYIA released split CD with ANTIGAMA with brand new tracks by Selfmadegod Records. NYIA is also planning to shot 2 musicvideos to promote "More Than You Expect" album.

Rating: 8/10

(...) 24 minutes or nerve rattling and mind destroying metal that I can only describe as strung-out, noisecore-infused death metal, maybe something like an unholy union of Vader and Converge(...).

If Sonic Youth are responsible for deconstruction of traditional approach to rock music and building new, distorted quality from its debris, then NYIA becomes the Sonic of metal scene (...) together with ’Within Divida’ by The End, ‘Miss Machine’ by Dillinger Escape Plan and Antigama's ‘Discomfort’, it`s an album reaching the pantheon of vanguard death/noise/grind/ jazz/rock. An absolute must-have...
Metal Hammer (PL)
Grade: 5/5

(...)This is quite possibly the best grindcore album I have heard in years.(...) Don't miss out on this one!
