The band started out as simple side project between a few strangers, quickly becoming close friends and tight musicians. They have played a countless amount of shows with bands including Cilice, Enochian Theory, Tesseract, No Made Sense and Pure Negative. After many many months of shows, the band started work on their Debut EP entitled ‘Virtues’, which was Self-Released in February 2009, along with a Promotional Music Video of the track ‘Resistance’, which in all was a huge success, and now the band are to follow up with the new highly anticipated EP, “The Revival”, coming Q1 2011. Their name taken from ancient Greek meaning “Innocent, Not Evil”, combined with kakn (kake) meaning “evil”, Akakios is a negative prefix. Showing that even though as evil as they may seem, they, are not! |* Akakios’s musical material, music videos, album art, and web designs are all created, produced and released by the band themselves. * Influences: Soilwork, Mnemic, Solution .45, Lamb of God, Daath, Scar Symmetry, Strapping Young Lad, Opeth, Hatebreed, Carnal Forge, Disarmonia Mundi. Most things heavy, melodic and just out right awesome! |
