French metal band Hamka is based in the south of France. The name comes from an old Tibetan goddess. The band was created in december 2003 by Willdric Lievin, previously founder and compositor of the french band Fairyland. Willdric entered the music world as a drummer when he was 10. During many years he played in different kind of band. In 1998, he founded Fairyland but after troubles due to musical directions, he decided to build a new band mixing different metal styles and ambiences. After their great collaboration and friendship in Fairyland, only one name came up on his mind for the singer. It was Elisa C.Martin, the famous spanish woman singer (ex Dark Moor and , actual singer of Dreamaker). Her experience and knowledge of music bring force to the band. Then, Damien Rainaud (ex Stress, ex Assacrentis), a talented drummer from Nice and a close friend of Willdric joins the band. In january 2004 Yann Mouhad (ex-guitarist in a local band called Whiplash) is recruited. His technique and incredible feeling brought a professional touch to the compositions. After a 4 years break, Willdric is starting the composing process of the upcoming album which will be more rythmical oriented with even more ethnical parts.

Hamka released their debut album Unearth in 2005.
