Tank full of Oil: Neuma

Neuma

NEUMA was formed in 2001 by musicians formerly playing in KOBONG: Wojciech SZYMAŃSKI (drums), lyrics, Bogdan KONDRACKI (bass, vocals), Maciej MIECHOWICZ (guitar). Because the debut album was made without KOBONG?s guitarist Robert SADOWSKI, the band decided to change the bandname to NEUMA. In 2004 NEUMA enlisted a new bass player Tomek KRZEMIŃSKI for the Tarariktarak Tour.

In 2006, Neuma released their second album Weather with new drummer Karol LUDEW and Alek Korecki on sax. The band describes their music as heavy trance riffs, charismatic vocals, and colorful patches of sound, clashing with a sharp polyrhythm; modern music of XXI century.

Formed in 2001 by three of four original members of legendary prog/math/noise metal band Kobong. Bogdan Kondracki (bass, vocal), Maciej Miechowicz (guitar), Wojtek Szymański (drums). Later bassist Tomasz Kamiński was added to the line-up and Kondracki focusing on vocals.

Released album "Neuma" in 2003 (via self estabilished independent label Tone Industria). Album described by the publisher as "heavy trance riffs, charismatic vocals, painterly soundscapes clashing with sharp independent polyrhythmics - modern music of the XXI century".

After releasing the debut album the band has been touring with other bands from the Tone Industria label like Moja adrenalina, Progrram.

Curently only guitarist Maciek Miechowicz and bassist Tomek Krzemiński are left from the first line-up. Karol Ludew (Moja Adrenalina) is the new drummer, Alek Korecki (formely of Tie Break, Brygada Kryzys) is saxophonist. The band is now working on their second record (to be released in November 2006).

"New NEUMA without vocals, but with drilling saxophone instead is the next step towards uncompromising avant noise trance".
