One of Denmark's leading death alloy acts, the queerly named Konkhra began its run in 1989, issuing 2 demos: "Roughshod Circle" (likewise the band's name at the metre) and "Malgrowth" on their style to a 1992 promo E.P. called Stranded (distributed by a tattoo magazine!), and a full-length debut, Sexual Affective Disorder in 1993. Having eventually settled into a semi-stable batting orderliness featuring Anders Lundemark (vocals/guitar), Kim Mathiesen (guitar), Lars Schmidt (basso), and Johnny Nielson (drums), the grouping went on to tour the U.S. with Suffocation before psychotherapeutic The Facelift E.P., and a sophomore L.P., Spittle or Swallow — all in 1994. The next year's Live Eraser was drawn from a turning point execution at the Roskilde Festival, and was marketed as the world's first "death & hustle" live album (this beingness a term made renowned by Swedish giants Entombed). Internal differences would shortly split the ring, simply independent human Lundemark cursorily establish a silver liner when he chartered adept guitarist James Murphy (Death, Obituary, etc.) and drummer Chris Kontos (Simple machine Head), as well as bassist Thomas Christensen to record 1997's highly acclaimed, ambient death alloy graeco-Roman Sess Out the Weak. As was to be expected, this lineup was volatile just ephemeral. Kontos was replaced by ex-Invocator drummer Per M. Jensen prior to 1999's The Freakshow E.P. and Murphy resumed his artisan cosmea following the sessions for Come Down Cold later on that year. Notable for taking the set in an nigh alt-rock steering, this was besides the last album with Jensen, off to join Swedish outfit the Haunted. There followed an lengthy break, and when Konkhra eventually returned with 2003's back-to-basics Reality Check, the ever-present Lundemark was joined by guitar player Kim "Hakeem" Mathiesen, bassist Lars Schmidt and reversive old drummer Johnny Nielsen.
