about

⋘This track can be found on NYIA's 2nd full length release "More Than You Expect" (FETO Records; 2007). It demonstrates the band's varying influences, which, when combined together, create a totally unique sound that can best be described as 'avant-garde grindcore'.⋙

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ BAND BIOGRAPHY & INFORMATION ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

NYIA was believed to be an unidentified pagan demon of death, a god of the underground and a guard of souls leaving human bodies.
The band by this name was formed in 1999 in Olsztyn, Poland by former members of Vader, Kobong and Prophecy. The superb and individualistic play of the drummer, Wojtek Szymanski, experiments with heavy sounds and the most dissonant chords are boasting some of the most intense and diverse slices of blasting avante garde grindcore fusion. The past and current NYIA's line-ups included musicians from: Vader, Kobong, Neuma, Yattering, Third Degree, Prophecy, SAMO, Deadbambi.

The band concerns in its ranks poet and painter Wojtek Szymanski (who wrotes all the lyrics and painted the picture used on the cover), producer and sound engineer Szymon Czech (known also from his work with Antigama, Vesania, Yattering, Dies Irae, Third Degree and many others), young and talented vocalist Jakub Leonowicz, bassist Maciej Banaszewski and designer, photographer and director Bartek Rogalewicz, who joined NYIA after recording "More Than You Expect".

The second album (More Than You Expect) is a result of three years of intense works and experiments and was released in October of 2007 by Napalm Death's Shane Embury on FETO Records. In the same month, the band also released what would be their last recording; a split album with ANTIGAMA on Selfmadegod Records. By the middle of 2008, the band was finished.
