Kudra Mata |

“The songs pound merciless and deafening like there’s no tomorrow.”

The long-awaited new release is here…”Legacy Of Persistence”

Kudra Mata is rising fast. After forming a solid line-up in early 2006 and releasing a strong-as-iron 3 track CD “This Is My Pledge” that same year the time had come to blow away the scene in Holland. And successfully so!

The band played numerous shows throughout the country with tours like “Het Noorden Is Gestoord” and “Spit Your Rage”, opened for bands such as Walls Of Jericho, Caliban, Born From Pain and Sworn Enemy, was nominated for the SENA PopNL Award in 2008 and rocked the ‘Melkweg’ in Amsterdam to it’s core.

Also that year at the bevrijdingsfestival (“Freedom-Festival”) in Zwolle one could witness this well oiled metal machine and Germany and Poland got to suffer the ferocity of their raw and brutal music as well. All this resulting in gaining a household name in the The Netherlands, a fast growing fanbase and their notorious live reputation

With the new record on hand, which was mixed by Michiel Toenink (Sick Of It All, Napalm Death) and mastered by Göran Finnberg (In Flames, The Haunted), this energetic foursome proves they definitely established themselves within the top of the Dutch metal scene.

Late summer 2009 saw Mart leaving Kudra Mata to pursue his career behind the scenes. Drummonster Tim Kuper joined the band short after to successfully continue the legacy. With yet another bash on the gaspedal, the 4-piece in no-time did raging supportshows for metalgiants Lamb Of God and Sepultura and climaxed at Holland’s biggest fetival The Zwarte Cross alongside Meshuggah and DevilDriver.

Keeping the band’s ambitions in mind, Europe can ready itself for Dutch Premium Metal, right in your face! Nothing more, but they certainly won’t do it for less. Period
