Ekkstacy formed in 2019 around frontman Rikard Eklund, with bassist Jonas Sköld and drummer Daniel Berglund completing the trio. Their music draws from the moodier side of alternative rock, showing some affinity for artists like Nick Cave and The Cure.
Their debut album 'I Walk This Earth All By Myself' came out in 2020, with the title track becoming one of their better-known songs. They followed it with albums called 'Shadow of the Void' and 'Echoes of the Unseen', sticking with their atmospheric, introspective approach.
Some listeners connected with the band's themes of isolation and melancholy, though their focus on those subjects drew occasional criticism. Songs like 'then i met her' and 'I Walk This Earth All By Myself' give a fair sense of their sound, brooding guitars, atmospheric synths, and lyrics that lean toward the solitary.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
