Our story ...

Nyrak is a progressive black metal band from Belgium, founded in late 2021 by Guy Van Nieuwenhove as a solo studio project. From the beginning, the focus was on creating a distinctive sound that combines the raw intensity of black metal with progressive elements and dark cinematic sounds.

The debut album Malvs was released in 2022, followed by the critically acclaimed second album Devourer Of All in 2024. Following the release of Malvs, Nyrak evolved from a solo studio project into a full-fledged live band with a permanent lineup, bringing the band’s music to the stage and opening a new chapter in its development.

In May 2025, Nyrak released the Dolby Atmos EP Faceless Tyrant, further exploring the band’s cinematic and immersive approach to extreme metal.

In October 2025, Nyrak released its third full-length album, Phoenix Mortis, through Void Wanderer Productions(Netherlands). The album marked another step in the band’s evolution, featuring a darker and more layered sound that further strengthens Nyrak’s own identity.

Following the release of Phoenix Mortis, Nyrak continued its international growth, with shows across Europe, from Eastern Europe and the United Kingdom to France, Austria, the Netherlands and Belgium. The band further established itself as an intense and immersive live act. 

With Phoenix Mortis as the latest chapter in the band’s journey, Nyrak is already looking ahead. The fourth full-length album is scheduled for release in November 2026.
