Nya was formed in Southern England in 2007 by five experienced touring musicians. Having spent that time honing their sound and creating an intensely high energy live show, Nya have recently embarked on their first UK tour in promotion of their self titled Demo/EP, playing over forty shows throughout the UK. As well as several smaller festival appearances, Nya also headlined the Unsigned stage at 2009's Bloodstock Open Air Festival.
Nya's EP successfully demonstrates a refreshing balance of catchy choruses, heavy riffing and trademark melodic, harmonious vocals. This is mirrored in their live show, which is unarguably one of the most energetic and entertaining you'll see!
Having received a series of rave reviews for both the EP and their live shows, Nya will spend the next couple of months finishing their long awaited debut album ‘Through The Grey’. Following its completion in 2010, the band will be taking their brand of groove laden melodic metal and super-charged live show back out on the road, extensively touring the UK and Europe on the back of the new release.
REVIEWS
“…They play a groove-laden brand of thoroughly fist-pumping melodic metal, with elements of Pantera, Killswitch Engage and even a bit of Faith No More…”
“…this is some powerful modern metal that comes complete with a set of hooks and melodies that no home can be without.” POWERPLAY MAGAZINE
“…a distinct sense of melody and ear for a tune layered over an array of crunching guitars are calling cards for this English quintet.” DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE
“…the songs are indeed nicely balanced mixes of catchy choruses, heavy riffing and melodic, harmonious vocals. If you like modern metal bands like Killswitch Engage and Disturbed you’ll probably digg Nya’s music too.
Their groovy mix of modern (melodic) metal and rock definitely does the job for me…” METALRAGE.COM
Live at The Shed, Leicester, May 09-
“They were powerful and tight, and obviously a well-established and practiced live act…”
“There were plenty of great chunky metal riffs, and Nya made an immediate impact on the audience, grabbing their attention and showing they meant business…” MUSIXTRA
Live at The Boston Music Rooms, Tufnel Park, London Feb 09-
“Good nights are always faster than the slow nights; the slow nights feel like forever, that being said it felt like Nya’s set seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. It’s heavy metal at its very core…”
“…the crowd are whipped into a frenzy and Nya deliver their music as if it was medicine.” SURFACEUNSIGNED
Live at The Brief, Croydon, Mar 09-
“Fantastic set from these South London based metal heads..!”
”… Nya are a band we highly recommend you go and see as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed.” NERVECAST RADIO 11
Live at The Purple Turtle, Camden, London, Jan 09-
"Like many here tonight i had never heard of these guys before. By the end of their set 'everybody' knew who they were.
Their blend of melodic metal is outstanding and they are armed with a very talented drummer called Paul White, who's sheer power and showmanship is a sight to behold.
"...they do the best (and highly original) version of Survivors Eye Of The Tiger
since CKY." BLOGSPACE
