Throw in some melodic metal, a pair of catchy pop riffs, pure raw emotions and a group friends who just love to have fun and play music and you get Existence Denied. Hailing from the northern parts of the Netherlands these guys are ready to play throughout the world and get some pits going.
Constantly searching for the right artists to work with, Robbert Zuiderveen and Arrie ten Wolde came a long way before they met the people who form the power Existence Denied today is. Looking for a dedicated guitar player they found a haven in Ronald Lukken (Elexorien), who joined the band in November, 2007. Since they couldn’t find a proper drummer, good friend and master-blaster Joris Nijenhuis (Dr. Doom) proposed to fill the empty spot until they found one. The powerful screams and beautiful emotion laden vocals of Nikky Sriamin (Noir) empowered the band in March, 2008.
With this formation, Existence Denied launched their 3-track promo entitled: “Nightmares and Daydreams”, which is available online and for free on their website: www.existencedenied.com.
Older work of them can be heard on their 2006 promo: ‘All in Despair’.
It received quite some positive feedback from the press: “Good tempo changes, nice breaks and wel done guitarsolo’s. Existence Denied has a good vocalist who, like the music, sounds very diverse. The songs are nicely built. Especially the mix between different styles is an extreme plus in this band.” Rock Tribune
“Existence Denied is more than a simple representative for the hard stuff, they alternate between hard passages and soft parts, in which the vocals are more pop than metal.” FRET popmagazine.
“The first striking point about this band is that they can’t be easily labelled. These guys use influences from different metal genres with a typical Swedish sound as main ingredient. Existence Denied is a talented band who know how to write mature songs and they know how to play.” Lords of Metal Ezine
‘All in Despair’ gives us a nice view of the musical talents of Existence Denied. Exciting songstructures with beautifull swedish melodies, pumping heavy metal, aggresive intervals and enough space for rest moments.” ZwareMetalen.com Ezine Contact

Hey, I just wanted say thanks for the add. Glad you liked our music! It'd be great if you could make it to a show someday but in the meantime, thanks again and have a great week! Boomer
Hi there! Thanks for the request! Sorry for taking so long to leave a comment (still having problems with myspace player). Nice music! Very eclectic! It varies from thrash to nu metal, with touches of death and heavy metal as well. Very good songs! xx
