Akephal was a metalcore band from Husum, Germany. Despite not hailing from Bremen, Akephal is for all intents and purposes, a key Bremencore band and an important influence on bands that came after. Mainly known for their sole full-length album, the band harnessed a crushingly dark and heavy sound comparable to bands like One Eyed God Prophecy, Uranus, and ACME. A second full-length album was recorded but unfortunately, the master tape was lost or destroyed during a night of partying. I believe the band went back into the studio in the early aughts and re-recorded five of these songs to include on the discography CD, which is conveniently missing the Koplflos 7" as the band hates those songs. Anyway, the s/t 12-inch is an absolute staple of the northcore/Bremencore/emocrust (or whatever you want to call it) sound, and I highly recommend checking them out if you are a fan of the genre.
