Wellington , New Zealand 2004 the band SEKHT was born. Started by guitarist J.Hellkatze. sick of the current metal trend in New Zealand and the world in general and Love of Heavy Metal started a mission to produce a sound that took all the bits & pieces of all the good types of Heavy Metal and roll em into one.

.

To give the World "HELLCORE" metal.

"From the heart/core at the end of the day we play what ever the Hell we like Metal Wise" The term was coined whilst the band was developing a following & their sound In CHRISTCHURCH New Zealand were they Had been based since 2007 Influnced by the old guard of metal like - Black Sabbath Pantera, early Slayer & Metallica, White zombie to name a few, through to european black & deathmetal, thrash, hardcore, speed, power, tech, industrial, goth, doom etc. Pretty much any decent metal band that made an impact on the band members lives.

So thus far the band has what seems to be a reliable & hungry line-up!!! a four piece to be reckoned with live!!

Playing along side of some of New Zealand's & Australia's finest metal bands such as Legacy of Disorder, State Of Integrity, Lord, Just One Fix,Tainted, Human, Zerstiren, Vixen Execution, Slave Cadaver, Bullet Belt, Bow Messiah, Plague Of The Fallen, NORT, Dissolution, MenAnTol to name a few.

.

What sets SEKHT apart from the other bands is that SEKHT are the only "PREMIERE HELLCORE" Metal Band in the World and intend to create a world wide following.

Just like the Norwegians have black metal, New Zealand will have "HELLCORE".

After having to sadly leave the Quake ravaged city of (ANTI)Christcurch in 2011 then were based In Wellington 2011/2013(HELLINGTON) New Zealand and have since Relocated to Melbourne Australia with a new line-up.
