Since 2007, Fragmenta began whipping local crowds into a moshing frenzy with their searing brand of progressive edged thrash metal. Fragmenta spent the following years gigging intensely playing many notable shows, receiving airplay both locally and internationally and having their demos featured in several worldwide compilations.
In 2011 Fragmenta released their debut album titled SEDITION; their intense thrash sound evolved even further, injected with unconventional grooves and tinged with industrial elements. With a visceral "show no mercy" delivery, the band was criticized by controversial TV program Today Tonight, noting their "dark themes" and branding them "a violent assault on the senses".
SEDITION is receiving positive reviews by well known metal sites and respectable airplay while being accompanied by interviews on the air and on the web.
Fragmenta is currently performing Australia-wide to promote their album and are writing material for what promises to be another powerful release.
“There's pain and perseverance on this record, all wrapped up in a broodingly furious package. Fragmenta set out to create an affecting, devastating and unique album, and succeeded without question.”
Daniel R Warnes - PowerPlay Magazine
“Just when one gets settled for this hectic semi-technical approach, comes "Darkest Storm" to shetter his/her senses with a portion of fast intense speedy guitars. "Seeds" is another winner, a combination of the two sides with a few really cool up-tempo moments. The diversity goes on later, first with the decent ballad "Eternal Flame" whic is not a Bangles cover; and the progressive shredding title-track which is aptly accompanied by another more technical composition: "March of the Afflicted" which boasts a fine virtuoso lead passage.”

“Just finished listening to ODIMORSUS It kicked me in the teeth, bludgeoned over the head, drove me to the wilderness, had its way with me and left me naked, scared and confused! It was awesome!”
