Braquet's bio
Braquet is an energetic four-piece hard rock band hailing from the Faroe Islands. Founded in 2002 by vocalist Andrias Hojgaard and guitarist Arni Zachariassen, the two were soon joined by drummer Johan a Lakjuni. After going through a couple of bass players, the band found who they were looking for in Leivur Vitalis. Braquet play an refreshing mixture of the modern and the classic, combining elements from the 80's, 90's and beyond. Too pop to be called metal, the band is dynamic and engaging and is distinguished by their technical ability and melodic sensibility. Andrias' hauntingly beautiful and melodic vocals are a perfect contrast to Arni's over the top guitar work, which is supported by the super tight and rock solid rhythms of Leivur and Johan. Lyrically, Braquet are positive and life affirming, but honest about life's struggles. Writing from a Christian perspective, they explore all elements of the experience of life.
