Konkhra is a Danish death metal band formed in Køge in 1989.
Konkhra was first formed under the name of "Vicious Circle" in Køge—a small town south of Copenhagen—in November 1989. Before changing their name, they issued the self-titled demo Vicious Circle (1990); renaming themselves "Konkhra" they followed up with Malgrowth (1991). Konkhra then, signed with Progress label and released the Stranded EP. This official debut, was limited to only 3,000 copies, and featured artwork by Chicago-based tattooer, Guy Aitchison.
The name "Konkhra" stems from how drummer Clausen heard Tom Angelripper, of German thrash metal band Sodom fame, pronounce the word "conqueror" on the double live album Mortal Way of Live. Drummer Clausen suggested the name change to the band.
Some said nothing is forever,
Everything has come to an end,
And we know: Human lifes are ending.
Everyday as the clock ticks
time, as measured pass me by.
Just know if there's nothing,
I wan't to keep my soul.
Centuries leave behind,
history for us to find,
pernitence, the humble man,
bow down, for you are on sacred ground.
[Lead Kim]
For all things i held so dear.
In my life i saw disappear,
First blood, first stroke,
Even all in one blow.
Suffer me and I suffer you,
one blow and our lifes are through,
You question me, I question you.
My gun sees your life is through.
[Lead Kim]
Speak of the sun refused to shine,
speak of dust to hide behind,
speak of half-life period time,
speak of devils, speak of god,
speak of all that was lost at once,
speak of me and speak of you,
speak of how to see the day through.
[Lead Anders]
Mysteries all solved,
by one man, centuries ago.
tragedy, the future.
Mankind is on holy ground.
Centuries leave behind.
Penitence, the humble man,
bow down, for you are on sacred ground.
