Akuma was a punk band from Montreal, founded in 1998 by former Banlieue Rouge member Safwan Hamdi. According to a post on the Facebook page of Rock My World Canada, "the band distinguishes itself through its opposition to neoliberalism, both through its lyrics and through its actions."[1]

History


The original line-up was Safwan Hamdi (guitar and vocals), 'Simon' (bass and background vocals), 'Sylva' (drums), and 'Mark' (guitar, background vocals). It was this line-up which created the group's first album, 100 Démons, released in 2001.[2][3] Mark and Simon left the band and were replaced by 'Sébastien' (bass) and 'Yannick' (guitar).

In 2004, the band released the album Subversion through Pavillon Noir.[4]

In 2006, the band released ...Des Cendres Et Du Désespoir (Ashes and Despair).[5]

One of Akuma's songs appeared on a compilation released by the 1999 Festival Polliwog,[6] which was an annual Montreal punk-metal festival. The band played the Festival d'été de Québec and the 2001 Vans Warped Tour. There was a 2002 tour of France with Tagada Jones and Oberkampf; Akuma's last show was in 2008.[7] While their website is still active, there have been no posts since that year.
