Estonian punk rock act Elukas set to ignite the global music scene with Wormholedeath partnership

Explosive Estonian quintet Elukas has inked a pivotal deal with Wormholedeath promising to rekindle the flames of their acclaimed EP, “Loomad Koos.”

This strategic alliance will see the reissue of their phenomenal EP, “Loomad Koos,” scheduled for release on November 24, 2023. Be ready for this relentless force from Estonia, cause they will ignite your ears with their fiery sound.

Elukas recently formalized their alliance with Wormholedeath at Tordimaja, the very studio where the EP was originally recorded. Hans Tort, the band’s drummer, expressed their excitement, stating,

“We are thrilled to announce that Elukas has joined forces with the prestigious Italian label, Wormholedeath, for the re-release of our debut EP, ‘Loomad Koos.’ This partnership is a crucial milestone for an independent band like Elukas, as it allows us to reach audiences and territories that would have been beyond our grasp at this point in our career. In the music industry, as in any other field, it’s essential to surround yourself with individuals who are not only honest, passionate, and professional but who also share a common vision for the future. We are immensely proud and delighted to become a part of the Wormholedeath family.”

Elukas embarked on their musical journey in the fall of 2021 as a five-member punk-rock band with a shared aspiration to create, record, and perform their distinctive music. Their debut concert on March 25, 2022, marked the beginning of an exciting chapter. In May of the same year, they ventured into Sinusoid Studio to record three singles.

During late summer, a significant change took place as the band’s original bassist, Mikk, chose to pursue a different path. Singer Karl Kärpuk took on the bass duties, a role he had already assumed during the band’s debut concert.

In the fall of 2022, they released three singles: “Metanoia” on September 30, “Hullumaja Puhvet” on October 31, and “Ajurünnak” on November 25. “Ajurünnak” garnered recognition, securing a spot in the RockFM December TOP-5 as voted by radio listeners. It also claimed 3rd place in the Estonian music category in the Rock Anthem of the Year competition and was selected as the debut of the week by Raadio2.

Just two weeks before their January concert, Karl sustained a wrist injury, leading to Alan‘s temporary role as the bassist for that performance. Following a successful show, Alan was invited to join the band permanently, an offer he eagerly accepted.

In late February, the band established a makeshift studio in the drummer’s summer house, where they recorded five songs in just one week. This collective effort culminated in the birth of their debut EP, “Loomad Koos.”

Most recently, Elukas graced the stage at the Barbar Feast 2023 festival, where they kicked off the event as the opening act. They also rocked the crowd at the Heavy Music Estonia Showcase Day 2023.
