These German guys have a good sense of humor, and - even more important - they knew how to play groovy and brutal death metal right from their start in 2006. When Hackneyed entered the scene first, they were a bunch of 16-year-old youngsters! Within no time the quintet turned into a well respected act being known for a fresh attitude and hard-hitting songs. Death Prevails and Burn After Reaping have been released by Nuclear Blast and were supported live with full European tours along with legends such as Morbid Angel, Nile, Kataklysm, Grave, and Aborted. No question - Hackneyed from the South of Germany proved their potential and passed all shows with flying colors.
