I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4ESSENCE was formed by Jan Ivelic-Pele (drums), Karmelo Marin-Chmite (guitar) and Damir Brkljacic-Beat Masta B (bass) in the 1996 as a death metal/hardcore band under the influence of our gods Napalm Death... In the 1997 they stopped playing because of some personal issues [Chmite turned towards Khrisna and went to the temple and Masta started pirate pussy hunting career]. 1998 was when the band was formed as we know it now (metal/hardcore/noise) Chmite gathered people that would love this metal/noise mixture of styles till present days, Pele returned as a spine of the band and Ivo Vatavuk-Frusta started as a vocalist. Few months after that we recorded and released our first demo material in 1998 called "Dirt in frame" on our own and Ognjen Pavlovic-Lupez(now a member of TBF) came into the band as a bass guitarist. We activly played for about a year and decided that we should introduce Marin Dumanic-Manir to the band as second guitar. In that period we had few gigs and the time came to record some new material.In the end of 2000 we started the recording of 9 new songs, again on our own, and in the winter of 2001 our second demo was released under the name "Rea" as a reminder and a loving memory to a K-9 friend (R.I.P.). In the begining of 2001 we had a lineup change and Manir was replaced by unfuckable rock machine Ranko Smoljan-Džemo as an excelent new and young guitarist with fresh ideas. In the winter of 2002 we went on tour to Slovenia and after few days we realised that we have some mental differences with our bass guitarist Lupez. So after returning home he left the band and shortly after that was replaced by Vinko Madirazza Ravlic-Rufio Oppossum Fuckwind III. 2003/2004 we started to record [on our own one more time] our third demo material "Larva", and we had a few gigs presenting this material to the local audience! We feel that in this lineup we are complete and we are ready once again to make some music and play it loud and live...so we hope to see you all soon in your hometown!.........PELINKOVAC!
