About Elukas
Elukas embarked on their musical journey in the fall of 2021 as a five-member punk-rock band with a shared aspiration to create, record, and perform their distinctive music. Their debut concert on March 25, 2022, marked the beginning of an exciting chapter. In May of the same year, they ventured into Sinusoid Studio to record three singles.
During late summer, a significant change took place as the band’s original bassist, Mikk, chose to pursue a different path. Singer Karl Kärpuk took on the bass duties, a role he had already assumed during the band’s debut concert.
In the fall of 2022, they released three singles: “Metanoia” on September 30, “Hullumaja Puhvet” on October 31, and “Ajurünnak” on November 25. “Ajurünnak” garnered recognition, securing a spot in the RockFM December TOP-5 as voted by radio listeners. It also claimed 3rd place in the Estonian music category in the Rock Anthem of the Year competition and was selected as the debut of the week by Raadio2.
Just two weeks before their January concert, Karl sustained a wrist injury, leading to Alan’s temporary role as the bassist for that performance. Following a successful show, Alan was invited to join the band permanently, an offer he eagerly accepted.
In late February, the band established a makeshift studio in the drummer’s summer house, where they recorded five songs in just one week. This collective effort culminated in the birth of their debut EP, “Loomad Koos.”
Most recently, Elukas graced the stage at the Barbar Feast 2023 festival, where they kicked off the event as the opening act. They also rocked the crowd at the Heavy Music Estonia Showcase Day 2023.

Alan Urva – Bass / Backing Vocals Hans Tort – Drums Karl Kärpuk – Lead Vocals Raido Krutto – Guitar / Backing Vocals Sten Olof Abram – Guitar / Backing Vocals

Dutch death metal band BLOODPHEMY will release their fifth studio album “Dawn of Malevolence” on November 17th 2023 via Non Serviam Records.
The band has unveiled the second single “Convoluted Reality”. The opening track of the concept album is about “A young, adult boy is living in an Asylum without any memory of his past or how he got here. The staff is cruel and sadistic. The whole place is a living hell.”
Drawing influence from Florida, Sweden and their heritage, these Dutchmen distinguish themselves with aggressive death metal mixing modern and classic styles with heavy atmosphere. Prepare yourself for cavernous deep roaring vocals, heavy slow crawling dirges and up-tempo psychotic slaughtering that will keep you banging your head. Telling dark, psychotic tales in both their lyrics and through their live shows. Steamrolling, rumbling and very dark death metal!
“Dawn of Malevolence” is a concept album as the band explains: “A dark and twisted story of a young boy whose only memory is of the horrible Asylum he grew up in; among the insane, the violent and a sadistic staff. Through years of suffering and torture he finally is able to feign normalcy and is eventually released into a world he doesn’t know or understand.
This threatening world triggers flashbacks of anger and violence from his earliest youth as he finally grasps a glimpse of the past that always seemed just out of reach.
Overwhelmed by these experiences he spirals down further into madness, killing people around him and ending up in the same horrible place where we was locked all that time. This time, armed with a new found lust for blood he swears to kill everyone there who has wronged him and set out on a journey of revenge”.
“Dawn of Malevolence” will be available as cassette, digipak CD, limited green vinyl and digital.
1 . Convoluted Reality 2. Therapeutic Torturing 3. Metamorphic Disposition 4. Sanity Obfuscation 5. Incarcerated Recollections 6. Demented Masquerade 7. Dawn of Malevolence 8. Crimson Redemption 9. From Suffering to Violence
