NYIA

NYIA was believed to be an unidentified pagan demon of death, a god of the underground and a guard of souls leaving human bodies. NYIA was formed in 1999 in Olsztyn, Poland by former members of Vader, Kobong and Prophecy. The superb and individualistic play of the drummer, Wojtek Szymanski, experiments with heavy sounds and the most dissonant chords are boasting some of the most intense and diverse slices of blasting avante garde grindcore fusion. The past and current NYIA`s line-ups included musicians from: Vader, Kobong, Neuma, Yattering, Third Degree, Prophecy, SAMO, Deadbambi. The band concerns in its ranks poet and painter Wojtek Szymanski (who wrotes all the lyrics and painted the picture used on the cover), producer and sound engineer Szymon Czech (known also from his work with Antigama, Vesania, Yattering, Dies Irae, Third Degree and many others), young and talented vocalist Jakub Leonowicz, bassist Maciej Banaszewski and designer, photographer and director Bartek Rogalewicz (who designed the band`s artworks and shot and directed music videos), who joined NYIA after recording "More Than You Expect". The second album is a result of three years of intense works and experiments and will be published in october 2007 by Napalm Death`s Shane Embury FETO Records. 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 music videos to promote "More Than You Expect" album.
