ETHELYN

The madness has started in March 1995 as a result of Morbid’s (drums) and Berth’s (guitar) sick ideas. Soon Egon and a guitarist Valdi joined the band, and the world groaned in fall ’95 when a vocalist Woyos came to the group. At the beginning the band was composing under the name MORASS, which was current to September ’98. After one year Egon left the crew so he was replaced by David. But no for so long, because after few months Blazic was ready to play. Finally after stabilization of the crew, the material prepared for studio devastation came into existence. In August ’98 in Sanok, the band recorded in Manek Studio a deb demo titled “Soulerosion”. Realization of that recording was occupied by Arek ‘Malta’ Malczewski, now cooperating with BEHEMOTH. Shortly before the session, Blazic bade farewell with the band so out of necessity bass was recorded by Valdi. After it turned out that there is a band in Czech Republic with the same marshy name, the band has changed the name into ETHELYN. The music included in “Soulerosion” is the synthesis of melodiousness, dynamics and aggression, wild connection of emotions with rapacity. The demo got glowing reviews as well as in official magazines and underground papers. It bore fruit of interviews, concerts and the presence on complications in Poland such as :”Blood To Come vol. 8” in “THRASH’EM ALL mag.”, “BURNING ABYSS ‘zine 4”, “Keep The Polish Underground Alive vol. 2”, “Horna comp.”, and abroad: “European Deathophobia vol. 2” (EARTH A.D. REC.) in Germany and ”Diabolical Serenade”, “Along The Sinister Path II” (MORTUARY KHAGE PROD.)in USA, besides the composition “Phoenix” for over few weeks was in the lead in playlist of French broadcast “Prelude Le’ Taufel”. The crowning achievement of promotion was signed contract with DAGDY MUSIC in May ’99. “Soulerosion” was released on the cassettes, which appeared at the beginning of the year 2000. In fall ’98 Nameless joined ETHELYN who took over the bassplayer position, and shortly was the third guitarist in the band. That pretty innovatory system kept not so long because co-founder musical obsession – Berth left the band. After an intensive searching there was found the guitarist – Les, who perfectly turned up in ETHELYN’s music. Bit by bit the material for the next recording came to existence, which was intended to be a full-scale debutant recording of the group. But before it, there was another change. Woyos – throat staff specialist – was replaced by Mysth, the youngest crewman, who brought in the new crazy look and much maniac scream. In August 2003 the crew supervised by Maciek Mularczyk (famous for close cooperation with KAT) recorded the expected for a long time CD “Traces Into Eternity”. In meantime the split-album ‘Hatred Complete”, including four tracks recorded during the session in Mamut Studio, appeared - as the foretaste of future hearings. You can find also four tracks of Nemrod band from Opoczno on it. In fall ..06 Salief took place of Les (bass) who unfortunately decided to leave the band. After year of rehearsals Salief is repleaced by Wrath. Now band is preparing for new recording session....
