Herratik is an Australian thrash and death metal band from Sydney , which was founded in 1998 under the name Abortus .

history

The band was founded in mid-1998 under the name Abortus. By the beginning of 1999 three demos were recorded, while the line-up changed several times. In August 1999, Battlegod Productions released their debut album Judge Me Not . Shortly after the release, the band played together with Nevermore in Sydney, whereupon there was no performance held for almost a year, but a second album was worked on. In May 2000, drummer Matt Herd left the line-up and was replaced by Michael Stojcevski in August, before Abortus performed at the Bloodlust Festival in Sydney in mid-2001 . The album Process of Elimination was released on the Italian label Code666 Records in October . The recordings for this took place in January. Two months later they went on a European tour with Mystic Circle and Ancient Rites . The tour included 18 performances over 18 days in seven different countries. From April to November 2002, the band held 20 performances on different weekends. Then Stojcevski announced his departure, but still helped out live until a suitable replacement was found in Dave Upston in March 2003. Then they went on tour through Australia with Mystic Circle in September and October. As a result, Upston left the band. In August 2004 it was decided to change the name to Herratik.

Wader then joined the line-up as guitarist, and Alex “Necrodemon” Koch from Mystic Circle took over the drums. In July 2006, the album Wrath-Divine was released on Copro Records . The recordings for this took place in April in the Amethyst Studios in Sydney under the direction of Jamie Stinson . From April to December 2007, the band held other gigs in Australia, but they were only held on one or two weekends of a month. Few gigs were held in 2008 and 2009 as the group mainly focused on writing new songs. The recordings for the following album extended over a longer period of time. These took place in the Vitriol Recording Studio , only the drums were recorded by Koch in Germany in The Vault Studio . Koch also took over the mixing and mastering of the material. In 2012, Battlegod Productions released the next album Compromise Gone .

style

Brian Fischer-Griffin described Abortus as a thrash and death metal band. Judge Me Not offers old-school - extreme metal , while Process of Elimination is bad produced chaotic thrash metal. In his review of Compromise Gone , Thomas Strater from Metal Hammer stated that the band played Thrash Metal with many borrowings from Death Metal. Occasionally the group also classic processed heavy metal - riffs . The lead guitar is catchy, while the vocals sound harsh.
