Nyia (also NYIA written) was a Polish jazz score - and grindcore band from Olsztyn , which was founded in 1999 and disbanded of 2008.
history
The band was named after a pagan demon first mentioned by Jakub Parkoszowic and later by Jan Długosz . The band was founded in December 1999. The group then consisted of the guitarist Jarosław “China” Łabieniec (ex- Vader ), the drummer Wojciech Szymański ( Kobong ) and the guitarist Szymon Czech (ex- Prophecy ). A first demo appeared under the name Nospromo 2000 . Then the singer Bogdan Kondracki, who had also previously worked for Kobong, and the bass player Piotr Bartczak joined the cast. With this line-up, the group recorded their debut album in 2001 at the Selani Studio in Olsztyn, which was called Head Held High . After the recordings, Bartczak and Kondracki left the band. Shortly afterwards, Maciej Banaszewski, a new bass player, joined the band before the former Prophecy singer Michal "Mike" Pawluc joined them. As a result, the band's line-up stabilized before signing a contract with Candlelight Records in January 2004 . In the same year Head Held High was published about it . After the band had worked on new songs over the next three years, the album More Than You Expect was released on Shane Embury's label FETO Records . Jakub Leonowicz could then be heard as the new singer. In October 2007 there was also a split release with Antigama on Selfmadegod Records . Nyia also went on tour with this band. In early 2008, the band announced their breakup.
style
Allmusic's Chris True assigned the music to grindcore , while rockdetector.com wrote that the band played avant-garde death metal . According to Melanie Aschenbrenner, the band on More Than You Expect plays groovy Grindcore with a playing technique that is reminiscent of bands like Fantômas , The Dillinger Escape Plan and Car Bomb . The pieces offered repetitive motifs with sloping chords and riffs . In the piece of music Birdies the band used Vogelgezwitscher, Bored went in the direction of neurosis and Yellow was clear jazz core. The singing is bright and atonal . In addition, industrial influences can also be heard in the songs . Florian Knapp reviewed the album again in a later issue. The band play an " LSD- heavy mixture of grindcore, jazz and ko (s) mixed sounds". According to Ollie Fröhlich from Ox-Fanzine , the band on More Than You Expect plays grindcore, "but grindcore from another planet in terms of precision and wackiness". There are also acoustic and progressive passages in the songs . The band continues where Fear Factory has become too catchy. Nyia is comparable to Antigama, only that not electronic, but acoustic elements are fully exploited.
