The band DOXA originally formed in Koln in 2013. In 2016 and 2021 there was a line-up change on the guitar, which caused the band to partially reorient themselves musically. At the beginning, an own concept for punk should be defined, which received musical inspiration from bands like Tragedy, Wolfbrigade or From Ashes Rise.
The idea arose to think about socially critical and philosophical texts in punk and HC in this way. The most intense, but also darkest, social criticism can usually be found in the theories of old sociological classics such as Adorno, Foucault or Bourdieu. This is how a musical concept emerged from their own personal “negation of the world” and the corresponding punk attitude. One's own thoughts and emotions can be supplemented through the glasses of a theory, e.g. by Adorno. The debut album "Residuen" was paired with an angry, dark and melancholic mixture.
“Hardcore punk can still do with a message. […] In addition, DOXA make a broad sound […]that gets energy either from melancholic but melodic guitars or from heavy breakdowns. DOXA are dark, driving and can also be emotional without being embarrassing.”
(Plastic Bomb)
"...Dark and menacing, the chords pile up, besieging everyday racism, causing a 'simply feelin' good inside'.
As the source of meaningful resistance, DOXA is evidence of a twitch in consciousness..."
