Metakognition was found in the middle of January 2008 by Herr Schwarz and Verdrießlichkeit, while joking around about some projects, bands and songs and doing some coverversions. It took a few hours recording 'Jesus Hitler' by Carnivore and 'The Somberlain' by Dissection to decide that there will be more songs - own songs in expression - to come, because of the great atmosphere while working together. Metakognition was born. An explosive mixture of melodic death metal meets black metal and old school thrash influences. Hateful, selfdestructive and nihilistic lyrics performed as painful screams on the melodic and technical guitarplay by Herr Schwarz just fitted perfectly to create an individual sound and music which is honest and straight from our hearts.
2 demosongs, which are very important to us, called '148 (Ghastly Demons)' and 'Auf Wiedersehen!', were written. These 2 songs of 12 minutes each were essential for leveling the way of our music, style and songwriting. We wrote all the songs for our first demo in a few weeks.
Someday we got to know Markus Stöcker of the project Leichenbrand who gave some great intentions, while supporting us. We decided to record a split album called 'X' which was released on the 12th of August.
On the 30th of August "Demo(ns)" was released for free. We decided to do so, because we have finished the first chapter of Metakognition, while writing songs for our debut album, which is planned to be released in late September. The material we are working on is much more progressive, melodic and is meant as a new era - the second chapter of Metakognition.
