Akonoid: from Tech House to Alternative Rock - 15 years of musical evolution

Akanoid has been around  for 15 years. 

Unfortunately ,only recently, this band has come unto my attention. AKANOID, founded in the end of the 90s by Hilton Theissen and Uwe Lübbers took its first steps within the fields of Tech House, Electro and Psy Trance. 

That's probably one of the reasons why I hadn't hear from Akanoid before. Luckily their syle of music has changed alot during the years. 

Anno 2014 Akonoid sounds more like an alternative rock band, than the techno project on which they once started off their musical existence.

After several live gigs and releasing three albums and a few singles, Akanoid decided to develop a more mature sound by adding more vocal appearance and structure to their songs, finally leading to a the album called "COCKTAIL POP"and 2 single releases "On Air Again" and "Usual Freak"

Following a new concept which included hiring two new additional band members for guitar and backing vocals, they went on tour with DE/VISION (2007).

In july 2008 Akonoid toured with the Crüxshadows and around the same time they released the EP "100 Burning Guitars". 

After ome personal changes, occasional live gigs  the album "CIVIL DEMON" was released in May 2009. Civil Demon made a quite more rocklike appearance than all albums before. Remixes and edits followed. Akonoid als appearded on festivals such as POPKOMM and WGT (Wave Gotik Treffen)

In 2012 the band changed back into their founding constellation and released the EP „You Never“. Apparently Akonoid would currently be working on new material in their "ELEKTROFISH STUDIO" and fresh output will follow.
