BIOGRAPHY
The name "Niburta" comes from the two-faced deity of the Scythian religion. „Niburta” was both the god of war, giving warriors the fury to charge fearlessly into battle, and the god of agriculture, providing bountyful harvest to it's followers. This bipolarity flows through the music of the band, combining the brutal sounds of modern metalcore with the catchy and mystical tunes of traditional instruments like bagpipes, violin, flutes, kobza, infused with the distinctive folklore of the balkans.
Niburta was formed late 2009 by a band of friends under the name „Tardos”, who even till this day form the creative core of the band: Anna Németh, János Krieser and Balázs „Busó” Hormai. In 2010 after a long period of castings, rehearsals and member changes the band takes up the name „Niburta” and enters the studio to record their first demo „Eredet”. The demo was a definite succes, resulting in an explosion in fandom and several international gigs such as Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
In the middle of 2011 the band recorded it's first EP, „Awakening”, which provided them with and extra boost to their rapidly growing popularity. From here the flow of events sped up: the band performed several smaller gigs, and also blasted the stages of the Folk-Rock Marathon of Budapest in January, and the Rockmaraton Festival this July. Niburta was also invited to several foreign gigs, and was among the main performers during the International Beltine Fest Tour 2012 in Slovakia, Slovenia, and Hungary.
Hungarian Niburta had caused a bit of a ripple with their 2012 debut album Scream from the East, combining Hungarian folk with metalcore, creating what they dub “Balkanian Folkmetalcore”. As odd as the combination may seem, it worked and ended up a surprisingly homogenous and original piece of music.
Fast forward three years and the quintet is treating their fans with the EP ReSet and often these kinds of EPs are a pointer into the direction a band is aiming for on their sophomore output.
Balkanic folk metalcore band Niburta from Budapest, Hungary has finally announced the official release date of its long awaited upcoming EP, entitled “ReSet“. It available only in digital format on the 10th of January 2015! The band put almost a year of work into it, hoping to offer the best to its fans. The result is a 3-song EP that they are proud of, with powerful and passionate folk melodies, three guest musicians from different countries (Klaartje Julia from the Netherlands, Ana Capalija from Croatia and Dou Kalender from Turkey) and countless instruments!
The band is currently working on a new album. More details will be announced soon.
