From Helsinki, Finland, Ínkar was born in 2021, when the singer Elina Launimaa asked the members of her Radiohead tribute band to arrange her compositions. The first album was released in february 2023. Since then, the band made headlines by mixing folk and experimental elements of bands like Pink Floyd, Wardruna and Radiohead with prog and doom metal artists such as Leprous and Chelsea Wolfe. Guided by the nature-inspired writings of Launimaa, who comes from the north, Ínkar's performances transcend mere concerts, morphing into immersive spectacles that blur the lines between music and poetry or reality and dream. The theatrical, hypnotic and aggressive soundscape of Ínkar, although unique, paved the way to its ascension in the Finnish underground scene. With compositions even more experimental and metal-oriented, Ínkar prepares to enter the studio to record its second album to be released in 2024.
