WARGAZ

Band formed by Alvar Gomez and Jandro Trujillo (both ex-members of Everfrost and Norse Wind). In spring 2013 they decide to start their own Melodic Death Metal band, after their previous band disbanded. They chose the proto-germanic word Wargaz as their name, after looking for the etimology of the Old Norse word "varg", meaning "wolf" or "destroyer". Few months later join the band Javi Cortes (ex-vocalist of Utopic Rabbit) and Elgan Jones (ex-drummer of Norse Wind). In November 2013 they release their first demo "Wargaz" and Guillem Roset joins the band as guitarist. In summer 2014 Alguer Mas enters as vocalist to replace Javi's place. Wargaz is preparing their second release at the moment.

ABHOTH

Abhoth’s creation was started in 2006 by Srđan Mišović, as a result of his fascination with writings of H.P.Lovecraft and his love for obscure and atmospheric metal sound. That’s when he wrote first couple of unfinished song and introduced them to his friends Branko Jugović and Miloš Klikovac, who were very eager to take the roles as a bass player and guitarist, while Srđan was about to take the role of band’s vocalist. Drums were to be programmed. And that’s when the project got its line-up. They decided to name it Abhoth, after monstrous, amorphous being from literature of Clark Ashton Smith, which was said to be the ultimate source of miscreation and abomination. 

In the first few years Abhoth existed only as a project, planned to be recorded in the near future, when band would have the proper equipment and conditions. Abhoth has never been imagined as a live performing band, and that has remained their policy till today.

In 2008 band decided to record their first song. Since Srđan suffered the minor throat problems at the time, Branko took the role as a vocalist, and that’s how the first single “Beyond the gates of the silver key” was recorded in 2008. 

Due to members’ obligations in other bands (Zaimus, KK Street Bangers, Dylan Dog) Abhoth was stagnating. Despite these obstructions they were working hard on their material. They decided to start the recording of their self-titled EP in the late 2010, and that’s when first recording took place. But, band faced many troubles during the period to come, in order to achieve the better sound quality. Even with the greatest effort and determination, the quality of guitar sound kept being unacceptable due to low-quality equipment used at the time. Also, KK Street Bangers started performing live, and Miloš and Srđan were also busy with Dylan Dog at the time, so the amount of the time they had for Abhoth was pretty poor. But Branko, who is also a producer and mixing engineer in all of those bands, gained a better knowledge of mixing and mastering techniques through years with each of them, so he worked on the existing single in order to publish a re-mastered version of “Beyond the gates of the silver key” in 2012. This was the first single they’ve released via youtube, and song was well-received by public. During 2012 and 2013 it was broadcasted many times on Polish radio Revolta, and gladly shared among the Balkan’s metalheads, as well as the ones from abroad.


Band’s disappointment in the sound of the recorded guitars reached its boiling point in 2013, altogether with the fact that EP was publicly announced to be finished and released more than once. So, in order to regain the trust of public that had already started to think the band was split-up, as well as to fulfill the vision of their own ideal sound that they had in the very beginning, the last attempt to make the EP sound as they initially wanted it to sound was made. Previously recorded versions of songs were deleted, and band decided to take another shot. The EP was once again recorded, with much better equipment and much greater knowledge of recording and mixing, in Branko’s Rebellion studio.

Nowadays, Abhoth is proud to present the spawn of their years’ hard work, their self-titled EP, which was released on a CD on December 18th, 2014, as a co-release of 3 Russian labels : Satanath Records, Grotesque Sounds Productions, and Darknagar Records, and it is distributed by Grimm Distribution (RU), Rebirth the Metal Productions (DE) and Sevared Records (USA).
