Ektomorf is a metal band hailing from Hungary, known for their raw energy and powerful blend of grove metal and hardcore influences. Formed in 1993 by Zoltán "Zoli" Farkas, the band's frontman and mainstay, Ektomorf quickly gained traction in the European metal scene with their aggressive sound and unflinching lyrical content often reflecting on discrimination, personal struggles, and society at large. Farkas, of Roma descent, has infused the band's music with a sense of cultural identity and defiance against prejudice.

Through relentless touring and a steady output of music, Ektomorf has cemented its reputation in the global metal community. Their characteristic sound is often compared to bands like Soulfly and Sepultura, not least because of their shared use of down-tuned guitars and a percussive approach to riffing. The most recent offerings such as "Reborn" and "The Prophet of Doom" showcase their evolution while remaining true to their roots. Additionally, live recordings like "Warpath (Live and Life on the Road) [Live at Wacken 2016]" capture the raw intensity of Ektomorf's performances, further solidifying their place in the pantheon of heavy metal. With a discography rich in thematic and sonic intensity, Ektomorf continues to resonate with fans looking for authenticity and ferocity in their metal.
