Band Photo Gallery

Akb'al began as a concept back in 2006 when Michael Young-Temple (Secondary Vocals, Bass, Tablas, Djembe, Didgeridoo and the Kaossilator!) was coming to the end of a long spell of travelling around the world. Initially, his songwriting focussed on the key elements of stoner/prog rock and metal; however due to his experiences from his extensive exploration, he soon introduced world percussion instrumentation into the equation. Michael took these songs to his musical contemporaries, Thoby Davis (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Violins) and Rob Miles (Guitar, Backing Vocals, Synths), and together the trio further sculptured and elaborated on Michael’s early ideas. The band soon recruited long-time friend Michael Hourihan (Onslaught, Desecration, and former Extreme Noise Terror drummer) to play drums, who added extra power and depth to the band’s already established sound.

After further tweaking their sound Akb'al hit the stage in 2010, and since then, the wide-reaching four-piece have extensively played throughout Wales, racking up shows with Prosperina, Ten Cent Toy, Thorun, Chaos Trigger and Fell on Black Days along the way. After firmly establishing themselves regionally, the band headed into the studio to work on their debut album "…Of Darkness and Light…". The quartet came out of the studio armed with a killer album. Packing seven stunning cuts, the record showcases experimental ambient texturing and engaging soundscapes underpinned by cutting hard rock and thoughtful metal undertones, all bonded together to take you on a progressive journey that will truly inspire and ignite. Prior to unleashing the album, Akb’al released their video single for “Equilibrium” on the 11th of December 2013. This visually potent, psychedelic, narrative, quickly racked up views and was nominated by as video of the week by A Metal State of Mind. Head on over to the band’s Facebook page for show updates.

Akb'al are beyond excited to have the opportunity to play at Bloodstock Open Air 2014! Our dream has been to play a major music festival and to bring our music to as many people as possible. To play at Bloodstock, a festival that has had such immense line ups, and continues to bring new, quality music to the people is a real dream come true. Get on the Akb'al bus, we'll see you in the pit!
