Ektomorf

Discography

New Album "HERETIC" out October 24th, 2025

HERETIC is not a normal record. It is not a continuation, not an experiment, not a safe move. It is the result of loss, pain, and rage I could no longer swallow. I lost my mother, I lost my dog Wuffa, and I almost lost myself. I was standing at nothing. At Antfarm Studio with Tue Madsen, this chaos turned into an album. The most brutal, most honest, and most personal album EKTOMORF has ever made.

HERETIC connects to the raw power of Destroy and Outcast, but it goes deeper. Guitars in Drop A and Drop B, massive Mesa Boogie walls, drums like wrecking balls. Every song carries scars. Every song is truth.

Vivid Black (2023)
With Vivid Black, EKTOMORF reached a new level. Darker songs, vocals that go deeper, production that is modern yet instantly recognizable as the band. No hesitation in the rage, but no mindless noise either. It has weight, texture, emotion, appealing both to long-time fans and new listeners searching for music that is both heavy and profound.

Heart-Shaped Box – Nirvana Cover  (2023)
When Zoli was feeling a bit bored at home in November 2022, he picked up his guitar and played Nirvana’s Heart-Shaped Box. He liked his version so much that he made a short video and uploaded it to his personal Facebook account. Overnight, the response from fans was so overwhelming that he also shared it on the band’s page. Here, too, the response from fans was so incredible that he decided to record the song properly. This short video has now reached over 300,000 fans. This is truly a song that no one would have expected from Ektomorf.

Reborn (2021)
Reborn feels like a rebirth: musically, personally, thematically. The band uses their experience to write songs that are powerful and reflective at the same time. The heaviness remains central, but there are acoustic breaks, atmospheric moments, reflections on the past and glimpses into both darkness and hope. For many, Reborn is the album where EKTOMORF showed they are no longer just fighting, but also telling stories.

Eternal Mayhem (2018)
The Eternal Mayhem EP delivered one of EKTOMORF’s most ferocious singles alongside a powerful cover of Metallica’s Hardwired. The title track is fast, uncompromising, built on pounding riffs and relentless groove, perfect for live destruction, while the Metallica cover pays homage to one of the band’s biggest inspirations without losing EKTOMORF’s identity. Together the two songs capture both the roots and the raw drive of the band, making Eternal Mayhem a compact but striking entry in their discography.

Fury (2018)
Fury bridges classic heaviness with modern elements. Deep-tuned guitars, pounding vocals, dense production. For many, Fury was proof that EKTOMORF are not slowing down after all these years, but renewing themselves, more aggressive, more technical, more intense. Live, the songs hit like hammers and turn stages into battlefields.

Warpath – Live and Life on the Road (2017)
To celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary, Warpath is a special album that captures the essence of EKTOMORF’s live energy. The release combines a furious live set recorded at Wacken Open Air with five brand-new studio tracks, giving fans both a document of the band’s raw stage power and fresh material to dive into. The live portion shows EKTOMORF at their most intense: groove-driven riffs, relentless vocals, and direct connection with the audience. The new songs, including the crushing title track Warpath, prove that even after decades Zoli and his band are still hungry, still uncompromising, and still ready to deliver pure groove metal mayhem. This record stands as both a celebration of their history and a promise of continued aggression.

Aggressor (2015)
Aggressor is one of EKTOMORF’s hardest, most uncompromising albums. With songs like Evil by Nature (featuring George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher), it proves the band can push even further into brutality and depth without losing impact. It combines groove, speed, and heavy riffing, delivering on all levels, performance, production, atmosphere.

Retribution (2014)
An album marked by struggle and anger. Musically aggressive, often faster, often harder, but also with melodic passages that show EKTOMORF understand how to build tension. For many listeners, Retribution is an album that shines live and tackles themes that feel more personal than just external rage.

Black Flag (2012)
Black Flag returns to electric heaviness, but with more refined songwriting. Heavier riffs, but also hooks and structures with more space. The production hits hard without feeling overproduced. For fans of the classic sound, while also bridging into modern metal.

The Acoustic (2012)
A bold departure from the usual path. The Acoustic reinterprets older and new songs in stripped-down versions. Pure ingredients: voice, guitar, emotion. Cover versions like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man and Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues show that EKTOMORF can be just as powerful in quiet as in brutal heaviness. For many fans it was a surprise, and proof that the band has more sides than just aggression.

Redemption (2010)
Redemption shows Zoli and the band on a path of reflection. The aggression is there, but also more space for emotion, more structure, more variation. It is not an album that weeps, it says: I worked, I lost, I remain. Songs that hit hard in live shows and build emotional connection with the audience.

The Gipsy Way (2010)
Released on June 25, 2010 via AFM Records, “The Gipsy Way” is a three-track CD single that shows EKTOMORF saluting their influences without losing their bite: a ferocious take on Alice in Chains’ “We Die Young,” a tense, riff-driven version of Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage”, and the Hungarian-language original “Ne Add Fel”, all carried by down-tuned guitars and Zoli’s raw delivery. Short, heavy, and to the point, it’s a compact snapshot of the band’s DNA at the turn of the decade, equal parts homage and signature groove.

What Doesn’t Kill Me… (2009)
With this album the band stepped further out of the shadow of older methods. Higher production value, more variation in tempo, melodies and rhythm, but also songs that cut straight to the heart. Lyrics about hardship and survival. It marks a point where EKTOMORF set many of the stylistic tools they still use today.

Outcast (2006)
Outcast delivered even heavier riffs, more impact, and production right on point. The album explores darker sides, abandonment, struggle, being cast out. With songs that are catchy but still deep and aggressive, Outcast is seen by many fans as a cornerstone of the classic EKTOMORF sound.

Live and Raw – You Get What You Give… (2005)
This live album captures the raw energy of EKTOMORF on stage. No studio polish, just everything live is about: audience reaction, raw vocals and guitars, everything breaking loose. For fans, it’s proof that the songs work in their purest form, with no filters.

Instinct (2005)
An album that cemented what Destroy had started. More variation in tempo and song structure, but no loss of aggression. It showed that EKTOMORF would not simply repeat the same formula, but continue to evolve without betraying their roots.

Destroy (2004)
Destroy is one of the strongest albums  of the discography. Brutality, groove, and international recognition come together. The production is cleaner than before, the songs more focused. This album brought EKTOMORF to a level where they were no longer only seen in underground scenes, but increasingly internationally.

I Scream Up to the Sky / Felüvöltök az égbe (2002)
This double-titled album marked a breakthrough into wider territories. The songs are more powerful, the production more mature. With Felüvöltök az égbe in Hungarian and I Scream Up to the Sky in English, the band was recognized more strongly outside Hungary for the first time. The record made it clear that pain and anger, combined with strong riffing, have real impact.

Kalyi Jag (2000)
Kalyi Jag pushed EKTOMORF further. More variety in themes, heavier riffs, and the influence of traditional Roma music became more prominent. The sound gained depth, and the band grew in confidence. For the first time it became clear that they could be more than just wild thrash blows.

Ektomorf (1998)
With the self-titled album in 1998, the band consolidated its style. Heavier guitars, more aggression, and the first steady fanbase. It made clear that EKTOMORF would not remain a one-man garage project, but a band taking shape and making an impact. The production was still rough, but determined.

Hangok (1996)
The debut Hangok was EKTOMORF’s first official step. Produced with very limited means, the album shows raw energy, heavy groove tendencies, and the will to be heard. Not perfect yet, but already containing much of what would become essential later: Zoli’s distinctive voice, aggressive guitars, and lyrics that come straight from real life.
