Kowai is a gothic rock/metal band from Utrecht, the Netherlands. The band differentiates itself from others by combining musical genres such as metal, rock, symphonic, and doom, and by the haunting melancholic atmosphere the songs create. Kowai is fronted by singer Laura, and completed by singer/grunter/guitarist Bertran, guitarist Arjen, keyboardist Ruben, bassist Rik and drummer Joost. Currently, Kowai is working hard on their first full-length release (scheduled for early 2013), which is being produced by Joost van den Broek (ex-After Forever). (www.kowai.nl)
