KIDNEY BLACK was formed in late 2019 against the backdrop of an urban landscape that would soon change in ways none of us could have imagined.Drawing influences from their previous bands (The Earthbound, Semen Of The Sun, The Raindogs) and taking grunge, post-punk, and heavy music as their reference point, they forged their own rhythmic, melodic, and dangerous soundscape. In August 2021, they released their first demo EP, Lychnopolis Sessions. Featuring six tracks recorded live at the studio of the same name, it captures the raw and early essence of the band. The following year, four of these tracks were recorded and filmed live in the same space for the show Rooftop Jam Sessions (Spring 2022). After hitting the stage with bands like New Model Army , 1000mods , Nightstalker and more they continued working on new material. In early 2025, the band returned to Lychnopolis Studio to record their debut album, Urban Decay. The album contains 12 tracks, mixed and produced by Nikos Chalkousis and KIDNEY BLACK, with mastering by Vasilis Lagos at Entasis Studio.
