Seattle, United States (1998 – 2008)
Himsa was an American metal band hailing from Seattle, Washington. The name Himsa is a spelling variation of the Sanskrit word for “no harm”, literally changing the definition to “harm”. The band formed in 1998 and released an independent EP and full-length album in 1999. Before being signed to Prosthetic Records, the band released one more EP in 2001.
2003 saw Himsa record and release their breakthrough album ‘Courting Tragedy and Disaster.’ Following the release of the album the band toured extensively throughout the US and Europe. They spent the latter half of 2005 in Denmark, recording their follow-up album, ‘Hail Horror.’ This album was released in early 2006 and displays a great deal of evolution in the bands’ songwriting and skills. In comparison to ‘Courting Tragedy and Disaster,’ ‘Hail Horror’ comes off darker and heavier and features some more blistering guitar work from players Kirby Johnson and Sammi Curr (who returned to the band following a brief hiatus throughout 2004 and some of 2005). The album is also a step up production-wise.
In December 2006, Himsa signed a new record deal with Century Media records. They headed into the studio with producer Steve Carter, who produced ‘Courting Tragedy and Disaster’, and also brought Devin Townsend (vocal producer) and Tue Madsen (mixing/mastering) into the fold for their new album.
