Ektomorf is a groove metal band that was founded in 1993 in Mez?kov?csh?za, Hungary, a small city near the Romanian border, by Zolt?n "Zoli" Farkas. In the actual line-up Zoli - songwriter and mastermind of the band - is the only remaining founder member. The band is completed by Tam?s Schrottner (Guitars), Szabolcs Murvai (Bass) and Gergely Tarin (Drums). Due to his gypsy background Zoli saw himself confronted with racism and prejudices, which is why the band had to put years of work into its international career.

Ektomorf's sound has been criticized as being heavily derivative of Sepultura and Soulfly.
