UMBRTKA BIOGRAPHY
Umbrtka is a metal band from PlzeĹ, Czech Republic. They describe their style as "gray labour metal" although they admit their music has some black metal attributes, though the lyrics have nothing to do with usual BM subjects. Umbrtka sings about industry, work, manual labour, trains, factories and - of course - about Umbrtka himself, a real person who used to work in PlzeĹ's shredding facility.
Umrbtka is formed by four musicians - Morbivod (also Trollech, StĂny plamenĹŻ, War for War), Strastinen, Well and Karl. They never perform live, however manage to release two full albums per year.
