Dystopya were born in Milan, Italy at the end of 2001.
Elio La Greca (drums) and Luca Gherardi (leading vocals) coming from two years of experience together in Tregenda, stoner doom band, decide to move towards a new musical route.
This project convinces guitarist Ivan Leone right away, he was already well known in Milans metal underground scene and hes been knowing drummer Elio La Greca for a long time so he joins the band right away developing the initial unit of the group.
The band starts working straight away and results are soon achieved.
In this start-up period they give life to Fog of fear in its embryo- version, which its going to be one of the greatest songs of the band.
The group keeps on working with the initial trio till june 2002.
Gods of Metal 2002, wherever best to find a great bassist?
Luca Gherardi (leading vocals) meets Marco Mattioli (bass), the two of them already knew each other not too well though, they start talking and the idea of Dystopya seems convincing for the bassist, who starts to rehearse with the band.
