REPLICA visualizes heavy music, which moves flowing, gives you creeps, initiates thinking processes, transfers dark impulses and sets new standards. Outspacing their competitors within the Austrian Underground-Metal-Scene, these youngsters successfully managed to become more than a respective representative of the thrash metal genre in their local area and to give thrash an innovative definition by using the intensity of metalcore and the open-minded feeling for progressive dictions. After several, prosperously passed band-contests, a lot of unforgettable national and international live shows, as well as the release of their vigorous 5-track-demo in 2005 - entitled “Metanoia” – the Upper Austrian quartet reached the dream, other bands still longing for: Having a big fan-base! Due to their musical competence and their technical sensitiveness, REPLICA create a harsh-baked sound with 100 % of recognition value, whereat the band found the ideal recipe: The subtle, flowing connection between metallic nostalgia and modernity. With “Riven By Grief”, the combo takes over the most offensive position and attacks with a brilliant, breathe-taking debut-album, which includes moments of aggressiveness, unlimited intellectual capacity and dramatic experiences. Definitely, REPLICA sound like Forbidden and Exodus being on a kind of Dream Theater-Trip on modern-metal-rails.
