DESOLATION (Ex-Ethereal) OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY Formed in Athens in 91, ETHEREAL was created as an avenue to vent frustrations for former members of DESOLATION, Vangelis (Drums and Percussion) and Necromayhem (Rotting Christ)(Singer of DESOLATION Antonis singer of ETHEREAL now). After years of being committed to their band they decided to dabble in different musical, avenues and set out to create their own version of Death Metal phenomenon. The band recorder a 3 song tape in January 1990 which was about to be released as a split LP with the Colombian Death Metal legend, MASACRE (RIP) by the UNISOUND former DECAPITATED records. Finally three tracks appeared in a German Compilation CD.It was the beginning of the Death Metal explosion early of this decade influenced by bands such as CELTIC FROST POSSESSED the band began writing more songs and searching for perfect members to complete the line up. In 91 Necromayhem left the band to concentrate in ROTTING CHRIST and the band change the name to ETHEREAL. The line up was also completed by Andre (vox) Chris (guitars) and Peri on bass. With this line up the band did recorded another six track Demo entitled OM SANTHI in 92, and they suddenly disappeared. The demo was also put on a limited edition CD (1000 copies) three years from bands original split, former member and percussionist Vangelis decided to reform the band as a one time reunion with guitarist / bass player Chris. This time also was added a new member Verith on vocals and keyboards. The band just re-buried themes from the memorable, days of the past, and started working on their new release. Indeed a new 10'' EP is just up to be released through December 96 featuring four never released of primitive Doom Death Metal. With this up coming release ETHEREAL have ventured into the unknown, creating a formidable, not worthy sophomore effect that is sure to increase the awareness and interest surrounding this impressive cult band. - GENESIS OF A NEW EMPIRE -Updated info coming soon...
