[edit] Noise matters; Size Doesn't

Sakkuth have possibly the shortest heavy metal vocalist on earth; their miniature vocalist Moises is reported to measure only 4'11" in height, but this does not stop him having a ferociously powerful voice. He is from Chile, but now lives in Queensland, Australia like the rest of the band. As well as his usual role in Sakkuth, he has also been a guest vocalist for the less active Brisbane band Invocation.

[edit] Previous Members

Their previous guitarist Adam Merker left the band to spend more time with his family in late 2005; this was one of the reasons given for why the band had to suddenly pull out of Brisbane's Overcranked festival [1]
