Band information
Sakkuth is a European-style melodic death metal band from Brisbane, led by the diminutive, cloak-shrouded figure of former Misery vocalist Contreras. Sakkuth's original style is heavy, fast, crisp and technical death metal, although Quest From Within reflected some minute nu-metal influences. The first EP features early bass player Lindal Loakes and is now rare as it was originally released without the band's consent. Sakkuth established a solid reputation live, sharing stages with the likes of Nevermore, Strapping Young Lad and Brutal Truth and featured at Metal for the Brain consistently since 1998. Don't Fight the Urge was released in mid-2002 and further established their reputation for writing catchy and powerful melodic death metal. Sakkuth featured at the Morbid Tales festivals throughout Australia and toured with Damaged in 2003. Unhappy with the original version of the second album, Sakkuth reworked it and it was reissued in early 2005, with different cover art (shown below). Late that year, Adam Merker left the band.
