The origins of Elficus is Joliette where Eric and Simon started to play together in 1997 in a band named Revive, with another bass player and a female singer. Then, Etienne joined us as a second guitarist in 1999. At this time, our style was not into metal but rather a kind of alternative-rock. We recorded a demo under the name of Revive at that time. Our academic occupations and the fact that Simon was in Montreal, prevented us from progressing during nearly two years. Then Eric and Etienne moved to Montreal too and it became difficult to practice with our former bass player. Our music has gradually moved to metal then in 2002 Etienne met Christian at the university who proved to be the ideal bass player to join us and we took the name Elficus. After having tested three female singers, we finally found Jean-Rene in 2005 to complete the band. In autumn 2005 the first demo is recorded to be released at the beginning of 2006. It contains the first five songs composed by the band. It is in autumn 2006 that Elficus starts to record its first album. Everything is produced by the band members what allows more freedom being given the constraints of each member. This album shows the progressive aspect of the band which was not yet present on the demo and also more aggressive and dark moments. In the beginning of july 2007 the first album entitled "For The Troubled Minds, It Whispers" is released.
