Harmed wins international music award at Eurosonic
Similarly prestigious international music awards have not received Hungarian production for more than a decade.
The Hungarian band Harmed won the Music Moves Europe Talent Awards in the rock-metal category at the Eurosonic festival in Groningen, Netherlands.
The award was handed out Friday night in eight categories. The award recognizes productions that are current and active in European light music life and whose work is worthy of Europe's cultural heritage, said the Voice-over program.
Similarly prestigious international music awards have not received Hungarian production for more than a decade. Heaven Street Seven has recently received similar attention from Hungarian bands when it won the European Breakthrough Award from the European Border Breakers Awards, jointly awarded by MIDEM and MTV Europe in 2006.
Founded in 2017, Harmed is an emerging actor on the Hungarian rock-metal scene, their 605 debut on New American Noise, and was signed by Famined Records. Their From Day One EP has been added to the US and British iTunes lists.
Harmed plays Levente Spicze (vocals), Gábor Tóth (guitar), Balázs Keresztesi (guitar) and Dávid Szieber (drums).
The secret to Harmed's success is that the band has been consciously building its international presence since its inception, they said.
The NKA Voice Concerts Support Program also supported the band's first European and Hungarian tour. As a result, Harmed has been able to perform at club concerts and festivals in 18 European countries over the past year and a half.
He also became the first Hungarian band to introduce himself at British Tech-Fest, and toured with artists such as Meshuggah, Whitechapel, Adept, Bury Tomorrow and Caliban.
The band's debut album will be released this year and will be on tour for several weeks in Europe with support from the Voice Capture Program - read the release.
