Technical Death Metal

Amok is the title of a number of bands and projects. #1 Amok (Norway)
AMOK spawned in 2000 as a death/grind/thrash metal unit.
The aim was from the beginning to bring back the doomsday holocaust from the 80s.
Musical inspiration was bands like Autopsy, Beherit, VON, Masters Hammer, Sadistik Exekution, Carcass, Blasphemy and old Scandinavian death metal. At first AMOK consisted of Goatpromoter Lava (guitars/vocals) and Stanley (bass/drums).
After some months of rehearsing Mord joined and took over the drums. This made live performances possible.
