Bio

YACØPSÆ from Hamburg/ Germany has been formed back in summer 1990. Heavily influenced by early Hardcore/ Thrash outfits such as SATANIC MALFUNCTIONS, ACTIVE MINDS, SEPTIC DEATH, NEKROMANTIE, old D.R.I., VORKRIEGSPHASE, BOBWIRE, RAPT, LÄRM, PARABELLUM, NAPALM DEATH (pre-“Scum”-era), SIEGE, ELECTRO HIPPIES, DESCARRIADOS, PROTES BENGT, STOSSTRUPP, FEAR ITSELF, NUN-FUCKERS, NECRONOMICON, ATAQUE FRONTAL, 3. KATEGORIJA and tons of early 80’s Punk/ Hardcore bands from Germany, they started to create their own fast’n’short tunes.

Within the past 3 decades, they had the possibility to play almost 400 shows all over the globe (Austria, Belgium, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finnland, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Northern-Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA) and shared the stage with tons of different bands.

Misleadingly, way too often described as “Grindcore”, YACØPSÆ always just played hyper-fast Hardcore with personal and political lyrics. The list of their releases is huge (approx. 60 different records/ CDs/ DVDs), the latest album from 2019 is called „Timeo ergo sum“.
