O bandu
In late 1996. first line-up of E.N.D. (Evil Never Dies) was gathered for their first rehearsal in Zadar/Croatia. One year later, serious work starts to be a part of their interests. Through the years, besides the large number of people that passed through, band's image and genre were changing gradually. At first they worked exclusively on HARD-CORE music but in time METAL starts to be the ground zero of inspiration. Today, the stile they grew is based on experimenting with many extreme metal directions but in every way it is combination of fast drums, down tuned guitars, thrashy riffs with occasional breakdowns and polyrhythmical parts followed by mid-pitch screaming vocals.
Experience that the band collected over the years can be expressed by a large number of gigs all over Croatia and some in neighbor countries, couple of demo records, videos, participation in compilation CD's, EP, official full length album, countless interviews and presentations for magazines, newspapers, web portals, blogs, Radio and TV shows which gave them status of one of the most known, as one of the oldest active metal bands in the county and wider.
First two demos, "Shortest Distance From The Truth" from 1999. and "Thru The Thorns" from 2003. were recorded in "Studijo za sirotinju" studio in Rijeka/Croatia. In the meantime, in year 2001., song called "Free Yourself" was recorded for "Stormbreed" compilation CD of Infaustum projects. Video for that song was recorded and placed on "Thru The Thorns" demo as a bonus.
In year 2003. guitar player Segy leaves the band and Mario takes his place. At that time current line up was: Alen on guitars and vocals, Didin on drums, Brane on bass and Mario on guitars.
In march 2005. the band recorded three new songs with two new members since the last record. These members were Mario and Brane. This time much more effort was put into production in order to promote the band in the best possible way. This promo EP named "...to the bones!" contains also second video for the song "Pointless Revelation", live pictures and mp3's arranged as flash multimedia interface.
This and all other informations can be found on webpage www.evilneverdies.org or www.myspace.com/endzadar along with mp3's, pictures and video downloads.
In a list of shows E.N.D. shared stage with: PUNGENT STENCH, ONLY ATTITUDE COUNTS, GOD DETHRONED, NEGURA BUNGET, THE OCEAN, MUNICIPAL WASTE ... among many other foreign and local great names.
In October 2005 band suffered a tragedy. They lost a dear friend and a bass player Brane who died from injuries sustained in car accident (rest in peace our friend)! The world has lost one of the most kind, respectable and honest human being and damn fine musician. But according to what Brane would like and the band's strong will, E.N.D. kept playing! As it was the only reasonable solution, common agreement fell and Segy got back in the band, but with a different role. This time as a bass player.
In October 2006. E.N.D. signs with DALLAS RECORDS for two of their songs from "...to the bones!" EP for "New Underground - Hard Hitters From Croatia" compilation CD that collected very good reviews.
Period from the year 2000-2006 was pretty hard because of the guitarist's/vocalist's (Alen) separation from the rest of the band. Although he lived in another town in order to graduate from university, they still managed to find some time and organize a rehearsal. Things were going very slow but the results are here.
After four years of membership, in the year 2007. Mario leaves because he was no longer able to give sufficient dosage of himself for the band to progress, so E.N.D. continues as a trio.
Three years after the last recording and one year of hard practicing in a new "three man band" situation, the band finally records their first official full length album called "Depravity". They entered the studio in summer 2008. and a small local publisher releases their album in March 2009.
The album has received very good reviews and the new line up left the best impressions so far. For the first time E.N.D.'s album can be found on the shelves of a local CD stores, world wide online shop CDBaby and all major mp3 distributors like iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody ...
Shortly after the album was released, Segy and E.N.D. part ways again. Segy moves to Germany for good, and the new bassist, Car, kicks in very soon so they were gig-ready in a short period of time.
2009.+ line up: Alen - guitars and lead vocals, Didin - drums and Car - bass and back vocals
...to be continued ...
Naš motto:
Piti pive, brate!
