The Knutz

Bio

Influenced by the post punk and death-rock style from the 80’s, Knutz have an objective proposal, just like their own name: based on simple riffs, most of the times, but never forgetting of “the classic rock manner of playing” that, in this case, sounds more atmospheric and phychodelic, according to various distorted and echoed effects. The gloomy voices express feelings from the human being, not only about love but also about lonelyness on account of this individualist world, always in a very clear way, followed by pulsating and tense beats. Besides, the agressive bass aggravates all the sadness or happyness felt on an alienating, doubted or broken relationship, lead by gentle guitars, both "bathed" in effects and feelings as well as the keyboards'arrangement, so to speak. Formed at the beginning of 2005 by Tiago Abud (bass), Daniel Abud (vocal/guitar), João Artur (guitar) and Airton Silva (drums), the band faced diferents formations due to the sucessive changes of keyboard player and guitar player because of personal problems and the fact that their ideas always cotrasted with the ones of the other members. That's why today The Knutz remain with the same musicians of the beginning, however with the addiction of Zero (keyboards/backing vocal) and without João Artur (guitar) in the group. In the end of 2006, Knutz recorded, mixed and mastered their first album with 15 songs at 1009 STUDIO in Niterói / RJ- Brazil and registered on UFRJ. With this DEMO CD, the band started to get known on the Brazilian Gothic scene, always searching for new bands with similar styles and ideas so that they can make progress and grow together. Currently, take part in independent projects as Substance Records, Black Future Tribute and WoodGothic Festival. Produced by Astronauta Discos, are supposed to record the official album in 2008. .
