Hailing from the depths of the Tilburg (NL) underground (home of Roadburn and ZXZW), Izah takes elements of metal, hardcore, noise and post-rock and blends these into a dark and melancholic mix of heavy riffing, dynamic sound layering and chaotic drumbattering. With a sound somewhere in between that of bands like Cult of Luna, Converge, Kruger, Mono and Shora, Izah is ready to storm the planet’s barriers.
After a long search for suitable bandmembers, founders Van Oosterhout (guitar) and Entius (vocals) found kindred spirits in Van Wegberg (drums), Bastiaansen (guitar) and Van der Weerd (bass) in 2006. Armed with black hearts, broken livers and a bad case of musicofilia, the band started working on their sound, which was to encompass a broad range of musical styles and atmospheres, capturing what making music is truly about to the band: spilling their guts through creative ideas. A set was written and in late 2008 the band released their self-produced two song EP, Finite Horizon/Crevice, which they made available for free on their website. Shortly after this, bassist Van der Weerd left the band and was replaced by Terhorst. The band was completed with the addition of De Jong (synth/guitar) in January 2009.
