Alternative Metal with a Hip Hop sensibility, AKB blends unapologetic groove, memorable lyrics, and rhapsodic energy ringing directly into the ears of your teenage self. AKB stays true to the raw power of the ’90s by channeling influences from bands including <a href="spotify:artist:165ZgPlLkK7bf5bDoFc6Sb" data-name="Limp Bizkit">Limp Bizkit</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3RNrq3jvMZxD9ZyoOZbQOD" data-name="Korn">Korn</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5KDIH2gF0VpelTqyQS7udb" data-name="Staind">Staind</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2yEwvVSSSUkcLeSTNyHKh8" data-name="TOOL">TOOL</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6GbCJZrI318Ybm8mY36Of5" data-name="Faith No More">Faith No More</a>.
Active in the UAE’s underground scene since 2008, AKB released its first full-length album <a href="spotify:album:3KSrl6GTPkEXCWWnhw0gLu" data-name="Violent Asymmetry">Violent Asymmetry</a>, in 2016 on all streaming platforms and has since then opened for several renowned international acts, including <a href="spotify:artist:0gIo6kGl4KsCeIbqtZVHYp" data-name="Paradise Lost">Paradise Lost</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7lyUcNJUvtC0K7ufpLMvpg" data-name="Ektomorf">Ektomorf</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6kU5Arg0y21Q3yH8yxUX98" data-name="Steel Engraved">Steel Engraved</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6mcSNYbGthL93gHZEIdsw6" data-name="Space Of Variations">Space Of Variations</a>.
In 2021 AKB signed with the first Iranian Metal Label, “Tough Sounds,” to release their new singles, starting with B1tch Tears. The song brings them back with a more single-minded message - Fuck. You.
AKB’s new single "B1tch Tears" sees the band pushing the envelope on the angst they grew up on. Musically, the band transitioned to minimalist riffs, out-of-the-box basslines, single-kick heavy grooves, and barking its feelings into the mic – something that may be described as “Urban Hardcore, but not really”. The song drills in groove after hook after groove, shaping its aesthetic by serving the listener one emotion – anger. With a more seasoned and personal approach, the band proves that this is a ‘comeback’ track in every sense of the word and plans to show fans more of their unadulterated rage-driven music in 2022.
